A Cop Cover-Up Or A Killer Girlfriend: Is Karen Read Being Framed?

Ever since the mysterious death of Boston Policeman John O’Keefe, during a snowy night in 2022, the small town where he died has been divided. There are two very distinct camps. Was John killed by those at a house party, inside a house full of police and law enforcement, who then proceeded to cover up his murder? Or did his girlfriend Karen Read kill him with her car, before he even made it through the front door? The case has since snowballed into an international debate fueled by both The Free Karen movement that's taken over TikTok and evidence that the defence claims points to a clear-cut police cover-up. Executive Producer Jessica Lowther from The Law&Crime Network and producer of the podcast series ‘Karen’’ joins us to dissect the case.

The Australian Filmmakers Determined To Solve America’s Burger Chef Murders

The bodies of Danny, Jayne, Mark and Ruth were found two days after their final shift at Burger Chef in late 1978, 20 miles away in a rural field. They’d been shot, stabbed and bashed - each of their murders telling its own devastating tale of the teenagers' last terrifying moments alive. Their deaths shocked their small tight-knit community and now, 40 years later, two Australian filmmakers are searching for answers.

The Mother And Daughter Murder Australia Forgot

In 1984, Margaret Tapp and her nine-year-old daughter Seana were found dead in their beds, still in their nightgowns. The killer surely strangled Margaret first. It's inconceivable she would not have fought to save her little girl. 9-year-old Seana died the same way, except she was raped first. Journalist and author of Life & Crimes, Andrew Rule covered the story when it first broke in the 1980s and now years later, he's adamant that reporters and police sometimes get it wrong - including him.
