Julie and Chris Albert did not simply hand their phones to MSP and say, “Search everything.” There was no full Cellebrite extraction, no complete download, no apparent recovery of deleted messages, and no broad review of calls, apps, photos, emails, contacts, or communications with everyone connected to the case. This was an extremely narrow, consensual search focused almost entirely on phone numbers MSP already believed belonged to Michael Proctor. MARCH 18, 2024 During Julie’s first interview, investigators asked about communications with Proctor and requested permission to look through her phone. But MSP immediately reassured her “We’re not looking to dump your phone.” They explained that a dump would extract everything, and that was not what they wanted. They were seeking only direct Proctor communications, group threads involving Proctor, and specific messages referenced in court. Julie still did not consent. “I’m just not going to make this decision right now.” She wanted to speak with Chris first. A few hours later, after leaving MSP with the phone, Julie called back and said she had found Proctor saved as “Mike Proctor,” along with one incoming message and one response. To her credit, she reported it. But she had been alone with the phone before investigators documented those messages, and she still had not authorized them to conduct their own search. MARCH 19, 2024 Julie returned and allowed MSP to view and photograph the Proctor contact and two messages she had personally found. That is not the same as consenting to an independent search. When asked again, Julie said “I have, but I haven’t figured that out with my husband just yet.” So MSP could document what Julie placed in front of them, but could not independently search the device themselves. The delays continued. Julie wanted more time, investigators and Julie played phone tag, she became ill, and scheduling carried into the following week. Julie did not sign the consent form until April 3....16 days after her first interview. Even then, the search remained extremely limited. Julie stayed in the room while an investigator manually entered several known Proctor phone numbers into the iPhone’s ordinary search function. No forensic extraction. No deleted-message recovery. They found one incoming message from Proctor’s number ending in 2093, Julie’s response, and nothing associated with four other known numbers. That tells us only what appeared through those particular manual searches on April 3. It does not establish whether deleted messages once existed, whether calls occurred instead of texts, whether another number or app was used, whether communications existed on an earlier phone or cloud backup, or whether Apple IDs, emails, aliases, or unidentified numbers were involved. In fact, during Julie’s second interview, her own phone displayed a notice that additional results would appear after Messages finished indexing. This was not a forensic examination of Julie Albert’s phone. It was a carefully restricted search of selected numbers, conducted only after more than two weeks of hesitation.

O’Hara told the jury that only one SERT member beat him to 34 Fairview, Beausoleil at 4:54. O’Hara arrived at 4:56. At one point, he said they began before every SERT member arrived. But under further questioning, he said they waited until additional members arrived, with Blake arriving at 5:21 and Louis at 5:24. That puts the actual organized search much closer to 5:24 not 4:56. Keefe began driving at 4:58:30 p.m., drove for approximately 13 minutes and stopped at 5:11:34 p.m. His cruiser then remained stationary for roughly 3 hours and 47 minutes, until about 8:58 p.m, Yet Connor Keefe testified that when he arrived, the search was already underway and Tully was already there... The problem is that Keefe could only narrow his arrival down to somewhere between 5:00 and 5:30. And we still do not have a precise arrival time for Lt. Tully and the four officers who allegedly arrived with him. Was there an informal search before the documented SERT search? And, most importantly, was anything found or moved during that undocumented window? The timeline does not answer those questions. It creates them. Seems like the Commonwealth never established a precise, internally consistent start time for the search, despite the importance of documenting who entered the scene, when they entered, and what they did before evidence was recovered. We need the location coordinates or address associated with that 5:11 Connor Keefe stop.

Last night, Higgy got up and tried to convince the room that everyone should’ve been focused on Karens end of the texts between the 2 of them during the trial… not him. He also said that it didn’t justify his actions since karen got his number from someone else, he should not be at fault. Correct. His actions did that all by themselves. But hey, at least last night’s speech probably won’t have Helena rushing to get the video deleted. Progress.

Gallagher knew Tommy Kelleher had an Arlo camera over the front door. And according to Gallagher’s own description, that camera captured the front door walkway and part of the front lawn. If Gallagher went to that residence and obtained Solo cups from Tommy Kelleher, then the camera may have captured Gallagher arriving, approaching the door, interacting at the residence, and leaving with whatever he obtained. But somehow, nobody thought to obtain the footage? Not from the house. Not from the camera. Not from the residence where the Solo cups allegedly came from. Meanwhile, when I asked a simple question on Twitter why did Gallagher go to that house instead of 34, which was closer? Helena Rafferty emailed that tweet to herself. Why? She must have thought the question mattered. And maybe it does matter. Because if the camera captured the front door walkway and part of the lawn, then what were they hiding??? Did he really get the cups from the neighbor???

Forget the evidence for a second. Can we talk about the footwear? Chief Helena Rafferty in sneakers. BERKY in sneakers, Another uniformed officer in sneakers. Snow everywhere. For a department with a multi-million-dollar budget, that's... an interesting look."

Kim Fair said she’s screenshotting every one of my posts, so Kim, screenshot this one nice and clear. I’ve been saying this all along, Allie, Colin, and Higgins are not three separate stories. Their timelines overlap. If Higgins’ Jeep was where they say it was, Allie should have seen it when she pulled in. Allie Could not tell MSP how Colin was at Fairview ummm well.... colin told us in court Allie drove him!!!!! Higgins should have seen Allie arrive. Colin should have seen Higgins’ Jeep when he came out. This was not some complicated maze. There are only so many ways to get to 34 Fairview. Yet Allie could not clearly remember the route she took to pick Colin up, and now the filing says Life360 data from Jennifer McCabe’s phone showed Allie did not travel straight home after dropping Colin off and even more importantly, showed no evidence of Allie arriving at or departing from 34 Fairview or Colin’s house on January 29. So once again, the “simple explanation” is not simple at all. If Colin left the house exactly how they said he did, why does the data make the story messier instead of clearer? If Allie picked him up at 34 Fairview, why does the record not cleanly show that? If Higgins’ Jeep was there, why does nobody’s testimony cleanly account for who saw who? A normal pickup does not need this much explaining. Screenshot that.

So let me get this straight… Julie says she showed up at 34 Fairview around 8:00–8:30 AM, hung around for 30–45 minutes, just sitting in the kitchen of the house where a man supposedly died in the yard during a blizzard.Meanwhile… Her husband Chris says he woke up around 8:00–8:30 AM, totally on his own, like a Disney prince stretching in the sunshine, in the middle of a nor’easter, mind you. Then Julie strolls in, breaks the news that John is dead, and the two of them head back over to 34 Fairview “just after 9.” And they only stay a half hour before heading home again. Is this more Chris Albert Math?

now we have Sean McCabe, brother of Jennifer McCabe, one of the house defendants,,going on a recorded X Space and accusing Adam Deitch a former federal prosecutor and DA candidate of criminal corruption involving Karen Read. And because apparently the facts aren’t enough anymore, he also tossed in a disgusting sexual allegation. This is the same crowd that threatens defamation lawsuits every time someone asks a question about phone records, missing calls, butt dials, Life360, deleted messages, or contradictory testimony. But when they want to smear someone? Suddenly it’s open season. Produce evidence or own the reckless accusation. You don’t get to call everyone else “defamatory” while publicly accusing a DA candidate of crimes and sexual favors on a recorded Space.

This is why the Colin / Allie pickup story has never sat right with me. In Trial 1, Colin Albert and Allie McCabe both seem very comfortable with the clean parts of the story12:10. Allie was there. Colin came out. It was starting to snow. But then the details that would actually make the story feel real suddenly get blurry. Colin says Allie texted him that she was there. He says he responded “come in.” He says he came out 30 seconds to a minute later. But when asked where Allie’s car was in the driveway, he does not remember. When asked what part of the car he got into, he does not remember. Front passenger seat? “Could have been.” Was anyone else in the car? He does not remember. Was anyone else in the car when she dropped him off? He does not remember. Then Allie says she believes she was in the driveway, on the left side, but she is not entirely sure. She does not remember whether she came from Chapman or Cedarcrest. She does not know which front door Colin came out of. She says “I believe” like she is saying what she is supposed to say, not what she actually remembers. So they both remember the time. They both remember it was starting to snow. But they cannot clearly remember the driveway, the route, the door, the seat, or who was in the car. Now add the new Life360 details, which raise even more questions about Allie’s movements and whether the documentary record actually supports the simple version we were told. At some point, this stops looking like a normal memory gap and starts looking like a story that was built around a timestamp. I am not saying what definitely happened. I am saying the testimony and the data do not line up cleanly enough to just wave it away. If the pickup happened exactly the way they said it did, why are the most basic details so hard to answer?

Now that we have dash cam footage from 682 we can see Kerry Roberts backs in and parks at the end of the driveway. She walks into the house. About a minute later, she comes back out. She speaks with Matt at the end of the driveway. Matt runs into the house. Kerry does not leave — she remains parked. Matt runs back out and spends about a minute at Kerry’s vehicle. Matt runs back into the house again. Officer Goode exits the house. Officer Lank walks up the driveway. Matt follows Lank roughly 30 seconds later. Kerry is still parked at the end of the driveway. After emergency vehicles leave, Kerry departs toward Chapman Street. Matt then moves his vehicle into the driveway and runs into the house. Approximately four minutes later, Lank goes into the house.

At 7:55 AM, Jen McCabe texts Brian Albert a Dunkin order “large hot with cream and sugar.” Julie Albert testified she woke up around 8-ish, went to Dunkin, then arrived at 34 Fairview Road around 8:30, where Brian Albert waved her into the house. But Julie also testified she parked behind her nephew’s vehicle. Problem is, That vehicle does NOT appear in earlier Canton PD scene photographs while officers were still on scene until roughly 7:50 AM. So when did the vehicle arrive? Who drove it there? Did Brian leave after CPD cleared the first time? Did Brian return before Lank and Gallagher came back? Was Brian Albert continuously inside the house that entire morning… or not?

Proctor double thumb texting, Gallagher pacing People popping in and out Was that Kevin Albert Who was wearing the stripes at the lower bottom left of screen And more importantly could you imagine losing that much footage if something happened to an inmate or an officer?

According to sworn testimony from Lank and Goode No one entered or exited the house while they were inside. Matt McCabe wasn’t even there yet. According to… you know… video footage Matt McCabe enters. Leaves. Comes back. Leaves again. Kerry Roberts is in and out. At one point, Matt, Lank, and Goode literally walk out together like it’s a group field trip. But sure… “No one came in or out.” Solid. Lock it in. And the Forensic Four? Oh they’ve got this covered, don’t worry. They will either say “You’re misinterpreting the video.” Or “It’s not relevant.” Or “Memory isn’t perfect.” Do you think lank or Goode would love to have a redo on this question?????

Welcome to the party SAM! I have to give her credit. One thing I've always respected is that she follows the information wherever it leads, even when it challenges something she previously believed. That said...I couldn't help but smile when I heard her say it's becoming increasingly difficult to rule Colin Albert out completely, and that the possibility of Higgins' Jeep being in the Kelleher driveway is starting to make sense. Because these are questions many of us have been asking for years. Not because we "knew" the answers, but because there were gaps that never seemed fully explained. Where was Higgins' Jeep? Could it have been across the street? If he was parked at the mailbox how did he not see colin or even Allie pull into the driveway? Are we absolutely certain about everyone's timeline? Those questions weren't crazy three years ago, and they aren't crazy today. What's interesting is that this isn't really a new theory. It's more of a recognition that some of the questions people have been raising all along still haven't been definitively answered. I appreciate Samantha being willing to say publicly that she can't rule something out simply because she'd like to. That's what following the evidence looks like. The truth doesn't care what any of us want the answer to be. So while I may be fighting the urge to say "I told you so," I genuinely respect anyone who is willing to revisit assumptions when new information, or a fresh look at old information, points in a different direction. That's how you get closer to the truth. Better late than never. and for those that want to watch her full episode it can be seen here:
