"Anyway, I'm sorry to Karen Read. And I wish none of this ever happened. I deeply regret it. But we've got bigger fish to fry now, her and myself." - Aidan Kearney This is, hands down, the best possible outcome of the operation targeting Aidan this week. Karen, it's time.

JUST IN; There are tapes of the Michael Proctor and Sean Goode files! This is going to get very bad, very quickly! “Four car accident. Just happened. Actually, take your time, I saw a ni**er was involved, so I wouldn’t rush if you’re working. Let them die.” - Michael Proctor

In other news, after my doctor's appointment today I was robbed while in line at the H Mart in Somerville. A man started yelling at the nice woman working at counter (who only spoke Spanish), so I started filming to protect her. Then, the man slapped my phone out of hand and left the store. The man then came back into the store, slapped my phone out of my hand again, and then walked down the street with my property in his hand (while a recording was running). I, in turn, used my words to demand he drop the phone. After four blocks --and a few threats to smash the device-- the man threw my phone in a flower bush near the Citizens Bank. Thankfully, some nice passersby were able to call the SomervillePolice (who responded and located the alleged assailant quickly). The man then escaped around the corner, whereupon Somerville police gave chase. The man was located, interviewed and let go (surveillance footage from the H Mart was not immediately available for police review). An investigation remains ongoing and, at the end of the day, I am just glad the women at the H Mart are safe (getting my phone back was a nice bonus, too). My statement; Creo que este situation es muy dificl para todas las personas involucradas, y tengo que pensar para uno o dos horas antes de expesar mi ideas sobre este dia. Gracias y a dios bengida para todas. Innocent until proven guilty, etc.

That's a very good question. Why would anyone be concerned about what this little towel knows about the use of private funds to facilitate the public prosecution of TurtleBoy and Karen Read (while hiding that from Aidan and Karen in discovery)? You're right. Probably nothing.

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.

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.

BREAKING 🚨🚨🚨: Stoughton Police Chief Donna McNamara has been granted an extortionary short order of notice hearing, that will take place this Friday, July 31st, at 10AM on the first floor of Norfolk Superior Court, in an effort to retain her position (after she alleges she was forced out for trying to cooperate with the FBI about the coverup of Sandra Birchmore's murder which, in turn, involves "multiple current and former" members of the Stoughton Police Department). Chief McNamara will, in turn, be able to make oral arguments to the Hon. Rosemary Connolly that, under the four-factor TRO test in Massachusetts, McNamara should be put back in her job, via court order, pending the final disposition of McNamara's current civil lawsuit (file Monday) against the town of Stoughton. Read Judge's order , granting that hearing on short notice, here (Judge's order is an endorsement on the motion and, also, the hearing in on the MassCourt's docket --2682CV00852-- for Friday) - McNamara, alleges her new lawsuit, was constructively dismissed, under false pretext, by the Stoughton Town manager because McNamara was a woman and, also, because McNamara would not stay silent about a 2024 IA investigation into the coverup of Sandra's death. Further, as I reported on Monday, McNamara alleges, in June of 2026, she told the Stoughton Town Manager that the FBI's trial prep, leading up to Matthew Farwell's October, 2026, trial for Sandra's murder (and the murder of Sandra's unborn 8-10 week old baby boy) would require McNamara to expand investigations into the aforementioned "current and former" members of the Stoughton PD. On Monday, I reported the following; Stoughton Police Chief Donna McNamara, in a new lawsuit filed today, confirmed that --as a result of ongoing FBI investigations in June of 2026 regarding Sandra Birchmore-- there may be new misconduct investigations of "current and former" Stoughton police officers. Brian Tully's State Police unit, including John Fanning and Yuri Bukhenik, cleared then-Stoughton cop Matthew Farwell for responsibility for Sandra's death in 2021 (despite a litany of evidence linking Farwell to the crime, and to a years-long grooming/abuse ring targeting Sandra involving the Stoughton Police Explorer's Program). Both Bukhenik and Fanning, of note, used to work in Stoughton as police officers before moving on to work for Norfolk District Attorney Michael Morrissey's State Police Detective Unit (as did Farwell's brother, William Farwell). Fanning, for his part, personally wrote the state police report clearing Farwell for a role in Sandra's death (and the death of Sandra's unborn 8-10 week old baby boy). In turn, at the time (in 2021), Fanning reported to his Sergeant (Bukhenik) and, also, Bukhenik's boss, Detective-Lieutenant Brian Tully. Read that new lawsuit here: Earlier in June of 2026, for more context and background, I reported; In a new motion from Matthew Farwell via the Sandra Birchmore federal docket, it has been revealed that law enforcement officers were the subject of ongoing federal investigations as recently as April of 2026. This has potential major implications regarding the state police and their initial coverup of Sandra's murder. That state police unit, detailed to the Norfolk District Attorney Michael Morrissey, included Brian Tully, John Fanning, Yuri Bukhenik, Michael Proctor and Nick Guarino. Shockingly, Fanning (who wrote the initial MSP report clearing Farwell for Sandra's murder, years before the federal government indicted Farwell) used to work as a cop in Stoughton. Stoughton was the town where the town where Farwell groomed Sandra, via the Police Explorer's program, in 2014. Farwell, alleges the federal government, murdered Sandra, and her unborn 8-10 week old baby boy, on February 1st, 2021, circa 9:27PM ET. Then, somehow, the Canton Police Department (including Kevin Albert) discovered information, between February 4-6th of 2021, that Farwell was the man captured on video at Sandra's apartment at the time of her murder, that Farwell had admitted to others that he had abused Sandra since she was a child and, further, that Farwell had stated that he was going to take care of the problem himself if Sandra insisted on carrying her unborn baby boy to term. Farwell, at the time, was under the impression he was the father of Sandra's unborn baby boy...although subsequent DNA testing determined Farwell was not the father. This new information related to the ongoing federal investigation was revealed by Farwell in a filing asking for a bill of particular ahead of Farwell's august, 2026, trial at Boston Moakley Federal courthouse. Of note, as the Proctorgate scandal unfolds (regarding abhorrent messages sent by Michael Proctor and his friends - including one where Sean Goode called Sandra Birchmore a slur for mentally disabled people soon after her murder), one of the people potentially involved in Proctor's group chat was a man named "Larry" Kennedy. This man is potentially the husband of Meg Kennedy (who was Sandra Birchmore's guidance counselor). Shockingly, Meg Kennedy's close friend is Karen Read trial witness (and someone who "did not know Michael Proctor before 2023," per her trial testimony) Jen McCabe. Read that report here - Then, on July 21st of 2026, I reported; Matthew Farwell has LOST his motion for a bill of particulars ahead of his August, 2026, federal trial for the death of Sandra Birchmore (and her unborn 8-10 week-old baby boy)...a case initially covered up by the Norfolk DA and Brian Tully/John Fanning's MSP unit. Quoting Chief Judge Casper; "Given the Court’s ruling about the sufficiency of the superseding indictment, the production of discovery and the supplemental disclosures, the Court concludes that a bill of particulars is not warranted where Farwell has been put on notice of the nature of the charges against him, will not be caught by unfair surprise at trial, or hampered in his defense or protection from double jeopardy." Link (via Kyle Sharkey): Previously, on July 9, 2026, I reported: NEW: Here is the latest document filed by the federal government in the Sandra Birchmore/Matthew Farwell case ahead of Farwell's August, 2026, trial. Sandra WAS NOT in contact with federal LEO before she was killed, but she may have attempted to make such contact if Farwell did not take Sandra's life (and the life of her unborn baby). Quoting from page 3 of the new motion from the office of U.S. Attorney for The District Of Massachusetts, Leah Foley; "Third, even if Farwell were entitled to more information about the evidence, his requests are improper because they are based on a misinterpretation of the elements of Section 1512(a)(1)(C). From the text and his emphasis on the word “federal,” the premise for Request Nos. 2 through 4 appears to be that the government must prove that Farwell killed Birchmore intending to prevent a communication to a specific federal law enforcement officer. That is not the law. Section 1512(g)(2) eliminated any mens rea requirement regarding the federal status of the putative recipient of a communication that the killing prevented. See 18 U.S.C. § 1512(g)(2). And in Fowler, the Court held that Section 1512(a)(1)(C) “covers a defendant who kills with intent to prevent communication with law enforcement generally (i.e., with any and all law enforcement officers).” Fowler, 563 U.S. at 673. Here, the Court should deny the motion because Farwell seeks evidence regarding something the government does not have to prove. Finally, while the Superseding Indictment and the tens of thousands of pages of discovery have apprised the defendant of the nature of the charges and mitigate any genuine risk of surprise at trial, the government will supplement its disclosures with the following representations regarding Request Nos. 1 and 5:  Request No. 1. Matthew Farwell sought to prevent communications by Sandra Birchmore, the person who contacted the Stoughton Police Department on January 20, 2021 (Superseding Indictment, ¶ 7), and any similarly situated persons to whom Birchmore made disclosures about the conduct underlying Farwell’s identified federal crimes (Superseding Indictment, ¶¶ 4–5, 11). Request No. 5. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (“FBI”), including its agents and task force officers, are the federal law enforcement officers to whom at least one relevant communication would have been made." Link to filing - Farwell's trial is scheduled to begin on October 5th of 2026 at the Moakley Courthouse in Boston. Towel News will have wall-to-wall coverage of the entire trial from the courtroom (although no cameras will be permitted).

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.

Wow. Someone is attempting to censor my journalism on X (using bad faith spammed reports) about a massive new revelation regarding John O'Keefe texting Brian Higgins about "sending these 3 wh***s home...4 hour minimum." I have escalated this to X and I'm now tagging Nikita Bier (and Elon Musk). The reporting that is being censored by those bad-faith reports is as follows (and I hope the accounts attempting to engage in that censorship can be tracked down and removed from this wonderful platform); JUST IN 🚨🚨🚨 "I'm sending these 3 wh***s home. 4 hour minimum." - Boston Police Officer John O'Keefe to ATF Agent Brian Higgins on December 18, 2021. I have just uncovered text messages making it clear that John O'Keefe and Brian Higgins were involved with hiring prostitutes in the months before John's death on January 29, 2022. Upon doing so, as I was reviewing the text messages on live stream and found that specific line, I threw a water bottle at the wall and lost my last semblance of faith in the now-collapsing edifice America once called a justice system. We will rebuild, but first we must reflect. Of note: the source file containing these messages is incredibly difficult to read but, after about an hour, I was able to put together the big secret (and I am horrified). Also, Higgins --out of no where-- told John that a Boston Cop had been "hit by a truck" earlier in that same text message conversation. I also found text where John and Higgins were talking about "bars over charging for drinks" before John outright mentioned buying prostitutes. Source regarding "wh***s" page 9 out of 12, text message 10 - Source regarding Higgins mentioning a Boston Cop who was hit by a truck (page 7-8 out of 12, text messages 15, 14 and 13) -

Boom. There it is. Confirmed evidence that Karen Read and her team were talking to the DOJ as early as the fall of 2022. I think we know, now, exactly what happened. The Karen Read/John O'Keefe + Sandra Birchmore/Matthew Farwell cases are about to collide. Or, as I said yesterday; "Obviously Karen Read's team did not find the missing Wall.DB file [from Jen McCabe's cellphone extraction] in 2023. The feds did. It was never about the 2:27AM timestamp of the Google search. What caught the feds attention is that Tully, to help his friend Jen McCabe, potentially ordered Nick Guarino to withhold that Wall.DB file initially from Karen's team in discovery [just like "someone" --either Brian Tully or John Fanning-- ordered Guarino (now a cooperating federal witness) to ignore the 30,000 messages between Matthew Farwell and Sandra Birchmore in 2021]." Indeed, Take a look at Hyde's first email to Tully very closely, and the follow up emails in late May of 2023. It's very odd (Hyde's first respond to Tully, in particular). First outreach email - Follow up emails - Early last week, I reported; It's going down, and towel has been yelling timber. Jessica Hyde, Nick Guarino and Bode Labs --from the Karen Read/John O'Keefe trial-- are all cooperating federal witnesses in the Matthew Farwell/Sandra Birchmore case. Here is the re-cap of the new 49-page federal government outlining, in specific, heart-wrenching, detail, the DOJ's case against disgraced former Stoughton cop Matthew Farwell as to Sandra Birchmore's death. Full document - Leah Foley an her staff care more deeply about justice for the vulnerable than any group of prosecutors I have ever seen. I an inspired by this document in ways that, during stream, I could only compare to looking at The great works of history (be it the European Cathedrals, the works of the Bard or the films of Kubrick) and placing it among their pantheon (and, no, that is not an overstatement). In the filing, it was also revealed that federal government found a second DNA sample on Sandra Birchmore's undergarments, and the DOJ knows who the sample belongs to. That man ("Witness 1"), according to DNA testing, is the father of Sandra's unborn baby boy. The DNA does not belong to Matthew Farwell and Farwell (nor his brother William) is not the father of Sandra's unborn-baby-boy. The filing also details that The Massachusetts Office Of The Chief Medical Examiner (OME) is a federal witness for the DOJ in the Sandra Birchmore/Matthew Farwell trial. Nick Guarino, Jessica Hyde, MSP crime lab techs and, now, the OCME. The feds are ruthless and epic. Then, on Friday of last week, I reported; The U.S. DOJ will present evidence, via the Matthew Farwell and Sandra Birchmore case, that Sandra possessed information about child sex trafficking violations --18 U.S. Code Section 2422(b)-- prior to her murder at the hands of Farwell on February 1, 2021. Source page 38 of 52 - The DOJ also has evidence that Sandra was aware of Wire Fraud violations and violations of a law that prevents deprivation of rights under color of law. This, via the DOJ's proposed jury's instructions that were released this week. The relevant sections of those instructions state; "In Count One, the defendant, Matthew Farwell, is charged with Killing a Witness or Victim. Here, the witness or victim is alleged to be Sandra Birchmore. Federal law prohibits killing a person to prevent a communication to a federal law enforcement officer about the commission or possible commission of a federal offense. The government alleges that the federal offenses about which Sandra Birchmore possessed information are Deprivation of Rights Under Color of Law, in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 242, Coercion and Enticement, in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 2422(b), and Wire Fraud, in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 1343. I will define those underlying offenses later in my instructions, so you understand the type of communication the government alleges the defendant acted to prevent." Title 18, United States Code, Section 2422(b) states; "(b)Whoever, using the mail or any facility or means of interstate or foreign commerce, or within the special maritime and territorial jurisdiction of the United States knowingly persuades, induces, entices, or coerces any individual who has not attained the age of 18 years, to engage in prostitution or any sexual activity for which any person can be charged with a criminal offense, or attempts to do so, shall be fined under this title and imprisoned not less than 10 years or for life."

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.
