In January 2022, Boston police officer John O’Keefe was found dying in the snow outside the home of fellow officer Brian Albert, and his girlfriend, Karen Read, was accused of hitting him with her SUV and leaving him to die. What followed was a sensational murder case involving disputed forensic evidence, a suspicious Google search, allegations of a police cover-up and explosive messages from the lead investigator, Michael Proctor. After two trials, Karen was acquitted of murder and manslaughter in June 2025, but convicted of operating under the influence, leaving one haunting question unanswered: what really happened to John O’Keefe?

The story starts at 9.00.

Note: in the original episode uploaded I mistakenly said 2002 instead of 2022. What a dimwit!
