John O'Keefe: Dog Bites, Theories, and Closing Arguments (Part 6)

In the early morning hours of Saturday, January 29th, 2022, Boston Police officer John O’Keefe was found dead in a snowbank outside a home in Canton, Massachusetts. According to the medical examiner, O’Keefe had died from blunt force trauma and hypothermia. At first it seemed like a tragic accident, maybe a slip on the ice, a fall that ended in death. But as investigators dug deeper, things became far more complicated and Karen Read, O’Keefe’s girlfriend, became the center of the investigation. Evidence that there had been trouble in paradise in the romantic relationship began to surface, but so did other disturbing possibilities. What seemed like a domestic tragedy was quickly clouded by allegations of police corruption and cover-up, and an investigation that many believe was compromised from the start. What if the very people tasked with upholding the law were covering up the truth? Was John O’Keefe’s death a result of an angry lovers rage- or the collateral damage of a police force protecting its own? In this case, the line between justice and corruption becomes confusingly blurred. Evidence disappears, witnesses are silenced, and as the truth slowly rises to the surface, it may reveal a web of lies that’s more dangerous than anyone could have predicted. Was Karen Read the scapegoat in a larger cover-up? And what role did corruption within the police department play in distorting facts. This may not be just a story of love gone wrong, it may in fact turn out to be a story of power, deceit, and the price people will pay to keep the darkest of dark secrets buried. Join us as we delve deep into the case of John O’Keefe and Karen Read, and help us see if we can get closer to the truth.

Stephanie and Derrick are an incredible duo. I used to watch Stephanie’s YouTube when she first started many years ago and loved it even then. Stephanie is amazing with her research and having Derrick who is experienced in law enforcement and now a licensed PI adds such an insightful perspective. I like their honest opinions regardless of how followers or commenters feel. I listen to you guys everyday. Thank you for continuing your podcast/youtube even with all the backlash and judgment you get. Love to Stephanie and Derrick from Australia 💛🌻
I suggest you listen to M. William Phelps’s podcast on this case

Before deciding what actually happened. He breaks it down in a thorough, impartial manner, just like any good investigative journalist. Then decide what are true facts and evidence and what is noise. He nails it!
BEST true crime podcast out there!

I can’t state enough how much I love Crime Weekly! I have listened many many podcasts and this is my all time favourite. Stephanie clearly puts so much time and effort into research and tells the story so well along Derrek. Highly recommend
