A Cop Cover-Up Or A Killer Girlfriend: Is Karen Read Being Framed?
Listen now
Description
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.
