Here is the arrival of Karen Read and Alan Jackson for today's 2 PM ET Karen Read search warrant hearing. Mr. Jackson greeted me by saying "GSE!" with a big smile. We are now all waiting on the hallway for the nearing to formally begin. Prosecutor Robert Cosgrove just brushed past me.

Here is my towel dispatch from today's Karen Read vs HAM federal hearing. Chief Judge Casper called HAM "the house defendants" multiple times, anti-slapp motions were heard, as were 12 b 6 motions to dismiss. What an interesting day. I am, and remain, a towel.

Well, that was a wild day in court for the John O'Keefe and Karen Read case. Was it my 2:52pm ET post on X, simply summarizing a public court document from the matter, that led Judge Gildea to call 32 lawyers into court? As of now, no one was sanctioned as a result of my reporting (as, obviously, I simply read the impoundment motion and summarized it). Alan Jackson was, however, not allowed to be heard at the end of the hearing in what was a tense moment. Just. Wild. Here's my full dispatch on today's hearing.

NEW; Here are the comments from Alan Jackson after today's hearing in Plymouth Superior Court. It appears Judge Gildea misunderstood my reporting from June 8th at 2:52PM ET, where I covered Michael Proctor's Impoundment motion that was on the public docket at that time.

"Because of what happened to Whitey Bulger, Hank Brennan, in my opinion, was not working for Michael Morrissey and the State Police during the second Karen Read and John O'Keefe trial. He was spying on them for U.S. Attorney Leah Foley (who Hank met for the first time in 2015)." Full interview -

Here is the arrival of Jen McCabe, Matt McCabe, Brian Albert and Chris Albert at federal court in Boston for today's 3PM ET Karen Read vs HAM hearing. The HAM defendants had no comment. We await Karen and her lawyers. It is very windy and I remain a towel.

Here is the footage of Jen McCabe, Matt McCabe, Brian Abert and Chris Albert leaving court after today's 2PM ET Karen Read federal hearing. Judge Casper called HAM "the house defendants" multiple times in open court, and Karen's lawyer was far more composed than HAM's lawyer.

BREAKING NEWS🚨🚨🚨: An unknown force within the Norfolk County District Attorney's Office has edited a video in the public records production released just moments ago related to the John O'Keefe and Karen Read case. The edit was done to obfuscate footage of the Mystery Man, who carries something away from the taillight area of Karen's Lexus in the footage, and the proof is plain as day! The newly-released Sallyport video contains upwards of 12 jump cuts at the precise moment when the Mystery Man appears behind Karen's Lexus in the aforementioned Canton Police Department Sallyport. The new video also contains the exact same yellow-blur box that was visible in the original video provided to Karen's legal team during discovery in the John O'Keefe trials. As such, that means this video has been edited twice (the first time when it was provided to Karen's team and the second time when this public records request was filled late Friday afternoon), and, further, that both series of edits were specifically designed to obfuscate the identity of the Mystery Man in question. The Mystery Man is seen standing near former State Trooper Michael Proctor --who is currently in the news due to his disgusting and bigoted text messages with former Canton Police Officer Sean Goode being made public-- in the area of Karen's taillight at 5:38PM ET (this taillight would show up, just minutes later circa 5:45PM ET, broken and scattered on the lawn of a home in Canton, Massachusetts, where John O'Keefe's body was discovered earlier that morning). Of note, in some of the newly released Proctorgate messages, Proctor discusses "planting cocaine" on suspects. Read more background on the Proctor/Goode files here - Karen Read, for her part, was acquitted on criminal charges related to John's death after two trials and, now, Karen has filed a civil lawsuit against the State Police and the Town Of Canton related to, what Karen alleges, was a bad-faith investigation of John's death that intentionally focused on Karen to the exclusion of all other suspects. In turn, the Mystery Man, and his identity, may end up playing a key role in that ongoing civil case. To this day, John O'Keefe's death remains unsolved. For context: Previously, on February 17, 2026, I reported; I believe I have found conclusive proof that the Canton Police Department Sallyport video from 5:38pm ET on 1/29/2022 involving Karen Read's Lexus was edited and, furthermore, an unknown man carried something away from the area of Karen's car near her right rear taillight. Read that report here - I then reported, that same day, the following: Here is the cleaned up footage from the Canton PD Sallyport at 5:38pm ET on 1/29/2022. It is clear that this video was manipulated with a yellow blur box to obfuscate the identity and movements of a mystery man standing with Michael Proctor near Karen Read's right rear taillight.

NEW🚨🚨 There is a video in the Jeffrey Epstein files that seem to show a figure with oblong and glowing eyes being subjected to some kind of rapid acceleration testing in a two-seat pod alongside another figure. The footage is censored but one face moves below the bar for a few frames. There is also one point where the entity in the right seat (when looking at the footage head on) has appendages that don't appear to be hands (they seem to be closer to claws or something of that nature). Source = EFTA01683320.mp4 The full video file is 2 hours 44 minutes and 11 seconds long, but it appears that footage of the experiment is visible for only the first two minutes or so of footage. I am requesting some help looking at this video footage and, in turn, I have upscaled it to 4k and provided it in three speeds below (1x, .5 and .25x). I am almost certain that this is a non-human entity but, as a reporter and an academic, I am not going to make that conclusion without further input from independent video analysts (and after proper scientific methods are applied to this footage).

Here was the moment Attorney Melanie Little heard, directly from the source, how a group of weird internet people in the orbit of Kate Peter and Jason Broyles (who have known each other since 2019) tried to frame Attorney Little for the misdeeds of Kate, Broyles and Brian Tully. Full interview -

ICYMI: An unknown man entered my private home and made his way to my home office door during Monday's livestream. This happened as I was looking into $31,518,409 in missing stock transactions from a shadow non-profit operated by Jeffrey Epstein until his death in 2019. I eventually found that Epstein sold stocks after he was jailed in 2019, and moved $31,518,409 of stock 2018 without reporting any of the required transactions on the firm's federal 990 tax form that year (despite doing so every other year). I refused to be intimidated during the livestream, demanded the man leave, and continued my investigation until I found the discrepancy in a 2018 tax return filed by Epstein's Gratitude America, LTD non-profit that confirmed the unaccounted-for 2018 stock trades totaling $31,518,409. The unaccounted for stock transactions in 2018 transactions are as follows; Bought; $9,651,059 $1,730,674 $20,136,676 Sold; $9,741,132 $1,604,011 $20,103,887 Total stock moved through Epstein's non-profit in 2018 without any supporting documentation = $31,518,409 Stock transactions after Epstein was jailed on July 6th, 2019: 7/10/2019 (3 sales of stock) -Cardlytics, Inc (2 sales of stock, both originally purchased 7/2/2019) - Microsoft Corp. (1 sale of stock, originally purchased 9/4/2018) - this single trade netted someone $258,911 (just in gains on the stock) after Epstein was jailed. 7/11/2019 (4 sales of stock) - Cardlytics, Inc (1 purchased 6/10/2019, 3 purchased 07/02/2019) 7/12/2019 (4 sales of stock) - Cardlytics, Inc (1 purchased 6/23/2019, 1 purchased 7/2/2019) 7/22/2019 (2 sales of stock) - Bank Of America Corp 5.475% S-KK (1 sale of stock, originally purchased 9/28/2019) - Duke Energy Corp 6.75% - A (1 sale of stock, originally purchased 3/25/2019) Further, it seems Epstein may have been involved with insider trading, in 2017, related to the Chinese commie-affiliated firm TenCent (although that was only $1,000,000 and Epstein hid his move about as well as a first year CPA figuring out they can use prediction markets to pump and dump as long as they submit a few fake cover trades before doing so). The company still has roughly $8.175 million in accounts that could potentially be clawed-back and disbursed to survivors of Epstein's child sexual abuse ring. Also, here are some of the charities Epstein was donating money to using the non-profit (the non-profit appears to have used donations, sourced from a $10,000,000 "gift" from Leon Black, as cover for insider trading and money laundering via stock purchases and sales); Bruce Marsha Moskowitz Foundation (Florida) $100,000 in 2016, $50,000 Melanoma Research Alliance Foundation (Washington D.C.) $225,000 in 2016 The Hasty Pudding Institute (New York) $50,000 in 2016 (Confirm this is Harvard's thing with the weird parade) Chron's Colitis Foundation Of American (New York) $10,000 in 2016, $10,000 Verse Video Education (Cambridge Ma) $110,000 in 2016 Women's Global Cancer Initiative $10,000 in 2016 New York Concert Artists Association (New Jersey) $50,000 in 2016 Icahn School Of Medicine Mt.

Wait a minute, a cop (Eric Wade) who used to work in Canton --and who had to leave the department due to allegations of being a predator-- was working overtime details with no approval from the selectboard in the town, and now Wade is forfeiting his POST certification? Okay.

NEW: If you missed it this morning, I was able to confirm --live on stream-- that there are 118 seconds of footage missing from the internal Canton PD Sallyport footage at the very moment (5:37-5:39PM ET on 1/29/22) that Michael Proctor and a Mystery man were near Karen Read's rear passenger taillight. The missing from the internal Sallyport camera covers roughly 5:37:40PM -5:39:37PM (1 minute and 58 seconds of footage missing). 30 seconds of footage is also missing from the external Canton PD driveway camera aimed at the Sallyport (this overlaps with 30 seconds of footage missing from the internal Sallyport camera). The missing footage from the external Sallyport camera covers roughly 5:39:03PM - 5:39:37PM (34 seconds missing). Just minutes later, around 5:45PM ET, according to state police reports, the first pieces of Karen's taillight were found on the lawn of 34 Fairview Road by Brian Tully's state police unit (where John O'Keefe's body was found earlier that morning). Of note: at least one person who was at Fairview Road around the time of John's death, an undercover ATF agent named Brian Higgins, was also at the Canton Police Department during the afternoon of 1/29/22 talking to then-chief Ken Berkowitz (Higgins close friend). Berkowitz, for his part, swiped his access card to enter the Canton PD Sallyport at exactly 5:38:47PM ET (in the middle of the missing 118 seconds of footage from the internal Sallyport camera and, shockingly, just 14 seconds before the 30 second gam in the external driveway camera cuts out at 5:39:03PM. My questions: Who --working for the DA-- edited these videos to video crucial details of that 118 seconds while Michael Proctor and at least one Mystery Man were in the direct vicinity of Karen Read's rear passenger Lexus taillight? Did someone --with the help of Brian Tully's State Police unit and the Norfolk DA-- use that window of time to take pieces of Karen's taillight and plant them at Fairview Road in the minutes after 5:39PM on 1/29/22? Why was Ken Berkowitz the person who found even more pieces of Karen's taillight "as the snow melted" in the days after 1/29/22? Why did a Trooper who worked for Brian Tully as Tully's First Officer (a man named John Fanning) used to run a data-related company with Norfolk DA video-editor Coleen Crawford? What did Kelly Devers actually see on the Canton PD cameras that day/evening of 1/29/22? And, perhaps most importantly, who killed John O'Keefe, why did they do so, and how did they have enough pull to call in this kind of coverup? John's family, and every other person tormented by this state police unit (enabled by the Norfolk DA, Michael Morrisey), deserve answers. Be they Karen Read, Sandra Birchmore's family, Tiffany Overstreet, Aidan TurtleBoy Kearney or otherwise, justice is coming. Truth may not a panacea, but it is an asymptote. May we, forever, strive to reach that untouchable x-axis with all of our collective might and prayers. That's what I'll be praying for on this Sunday, and may God bless you all. I meant what I said, as well: Adam Deitch for District Attorney can meet the moment and fix this chaos (in a way that does not destroy the Republic). I believe that with my whole heart. Do consider a vote for Mr. Deitch in the September, 2026, Norfolk District Attorney Primary (if you live in the county). Voters may participate in the primary if they are un-enrolled, or Democrats, 10 days before the primary vote takes place.

UPDATE🚨🚨: In a wild twist to Proctorgate, Kevin Foley --involved in sending racist messages with Michael Proctor-- may actually be a former Canton police officer (arrested in 2013 in a sex-for-hire-sting) who, shockingly, held a fundraiser for John O'Keefe's orphaned niece and nephew in 2014 alongside Kevin Albert. I don't know what to say. If this is confirmed --and a former Milton police officer by the same name is ruled out-- it changes everything. This would provide a direct link --via Kevin Foley-- between Michael Proctor, Kevin Albert and John O'Keefe's niece and nephew going back to 2014. This connection --and Proctor's abhorrent messages with a number of police officers-- were never revealed during either of Karen Read's two trials and, if confirmed, this link would represent a shocking series of coverups related to Proctor's conflicts of interest when investigating John's death on the home of Kevin Albert's brother (former Boston police officer Brian Albert) on the early morning of January 29th, 2022. It was only in 2025, after an order from Judge Doolin in the Myles King case (requested by lawyer Rosemary Scapicchio) that this data was eventually turned over --albeit under a protective order that was granted over Scapicchio's objections. Late Friday, Scapicchio was able to release another wave of Proctor's messages via a newly-unsealed motion to dismiss in the King case (King, for his part, is currently in federal prison on new charges that seem to be designed to remove Proctor from King's eventual trial). The first wave of those messages were released via Karen Read's newly-filed civil suit in Bristol County against the State Police and Canton Police last week, but Scapicchio's filing exposes shocking new messages among the group and, importantly, also revealed the names of some of the men who Proctor communicated with over many years. Read more about Karen's filing here - As to Scapicchio's new filing: Although some of the men were identified only my moniker, Kevin Foley was identified by name (for the first time), in the newly-unsealed filing. Local reporter Dixie Normus also noted as follows just minutes ago; "One thing I want to be clear about, I do not know yet whether the “Foley” referenced in the messages is Kevin Foley, who is brothers with the Matt Foley pictured here." "But what this photo does show, based on the people identified, is how close and overlapping this Canton social circle was. Sean Goode, Courtney Proctor, Kati Brown, Jillian Daniels, Kenner Johnson, and Matt Foley all appear within the same friend orbit." "That matters because this case has never just been about one person knowing one person. It is about overlapping friendships, family ties, police connections, and whether conflicts were treated seriously enough from the beginning." "So no, I’m not claiming the “Foley” in the messages is Kevin Foley unless that is confirmed." "I’m saying the overlap itself deserves attention." Read that post here - If this is confirmed, I will be stunned. It really was all potentially connected. A lot of people are going to owe Karen Read and Aidan Kearney (the first journalist to put this puzzle together) some apologies in the coming weeks and months, should this all be confirmed. What a time to be alive indeed. I pray for John's family. I am sorry, in so many ways, all of this has happened. Justice may be blind, but it should not do harm, and our system has failed them --and so many others-- in so many ways. To this day, it is unclear if anyone has found the Mystery Man from the Canton PD Sallyport footage at 5:38PM ET on 1/29/2022 who is suspected of being at the center of potential upcoming investigations by state and federal authorities as to John's death. Read more about that Mystery Man here -

Here is Yuri Bukhenik's lawyer's arrival for today's 3PM ET Karen Read vs. HAM federal hearing. Yuri, for his part, had no comment. Although he has me blocked on X, I still wished the best of luck to Ukraine. Yuri did not respond to that, either. I remain, faithfully, a towel.

"You can win a motion to dismiss just on the basis of prosecutorial or police investigative misconduct, and I think we have that here." Good morning. I heard El Jafel's fundraiser for Aidan Kearney last night raised over $4,000 in just a few hours. If you're getting ready for today's 9AM mega motion to dismiss hearing at Suffolk Superior Court, here's a good video to get caught up. "Was Michael Proctor an investigator in Aidan Kearney's case, a victim, a witness, or some combination of all three?"
