Karen Read: The Crime that Broke Boston | MURDERISH Ep. 162

Published: May 20, 2024, 9 a.m.

On January 29, 2022, Karen Read dropped off her boyfriend, John O\u2019Keefe, at a house party in Canton, Massachusetts. When she awoke the next morning and found John not in bed, Karen became concerned. She drove around looking for him and eventually made her way to 34 Fairview Rd., the location of the house-party where she\u2019d taken him earlier that morning. Karen screamed upon seeing John\u2019s body lying in the front yard of the home, unconscious and covered in snow. John O\u2019Keefe was dead. A murder investigation ensued, with Karen Read being the primary target. Karen\u2019s defense, however, had a different theory. They posited that John O\u2019Keefe was killed by someone who\u2019d attended the party, and several partygoers, all members of law enforcement, helped to cover up the crime.\xa0\n\nFollow Jami on Instagram & TikTok @JamiOnAir and join the Serial Streamers true crime TV club!\n\nSubscribe to Jami\u2019s YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@jamionair\n\nSponsors\nGreen Chef: Visit greenchef.com/murderish50 and use code murderish50 for 50% off + 20% off your next two months.\nNom Nom: Visit TryNom.com/MURDERISH for 50% off your first subscription order.\nPosh Peanut: Visit PoshPeanut.com/MURDERISH and use code MURDERISH for 20% off your first order.\nOUAI: Visit TheOUAI.com and enter promo code MURDERISH for 15% off any product.\n\nDirty Money Moves: Women in White Collar Crime - Listen on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/dirty-money-moves-women-in-white-collar-crime/id1619521092.\n\nLipstick & Lies - Listen on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/lipstick-lies/id1704189120?i=1000625570159\n\nWant to advertise on this show?
