In this episode, Natalie and Katrina break down the controversial case of Karen Read, accused of killing her boyfriend, Boston Police Officer John O’Keefe, during a 2022 snowstorm. What first appeared to be a tragic accident spiraled into allegations of police bias, mishandled evidence, conflicting timelines, and possible cover-ups.
 
 Update

Since recording this episode, the story reached a dramatic conclusion: a jury found Karen Read not guilty on all charges. After years of controversy, public scrutiny, and questions about the integrity of the investigation, justice finally prevailed.
 
Karen was convicted of a lesser charge, operating a vehicle under the influence of alcohol (OUI), and was sentenced to one year of probation.
