In what was the worst moment of any federal criminal trial ever in the United States, the Matthew Farwell defense team, twice, showed a picture of Sandra Birchmore's dead body and face in open court with no warning and without court permission. Estey and BoozeyBeauty explain what happened. Sandra's family was so broken up they were unable to speak.

BREAKING NEWS; U.S. Army recruiter Jason Pickard has been confirmed as the father of Sandra Birchmore's unborn baby boy, and Matthew Farwell lost almost all of his pre-trial motions regarding Sandra's statements before her death. We are heading to trial starting October 5th.

Here's an interesting new piece of video from the Karen Read and John O'Keefe trial FOIAs. It shows Jen McCabe's cellphone pings between 12:18AM and 1:48AMET on 1/29/2022 (the date of John O'Keefe's death). Notice anything weird at 12:47AM, 1AM, 1:19AM and 1:33AM and 1:47AM?

Wild. I just ran into Kate Peter's friend Joe Warren outside of federal court. He got very concerned when I asked when Kate and Joe were present when the FBI was wiretapped while investigating Brian Tully and John Fanning's coverup of Sandra Birchmore's murder. Then he fled.

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).

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) -

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 🚨 🚨 🚨; On August 24th, 2024, Brian Tully and Nick Guarino's State Police Unit "lost" the entire server upon which Sandra Birchmore's laptop data was located within the Norfolk DA's SPDU unit. That "data loss" occured just four days before Farwell's arrest on federal charges. A motion from Farwell's lawyers, related to Nick Guarino admitting to that data loss during a 2026 interview with the FBI, is expected to hit the docket before Monday, October 5th, 2026. Farwell, also, for the first time, consented to a full search of his phone for all data related to Sandra's death. John Fanning, another state trooper working for Tully's unit, told the FBI during formal interrogation that Fanning "told Guarino Farwell only consented to a search of his phone for messages between Sandra and Farwell, and thar they were all deleted," however, now, Fanning tells the FBI Fanning "may have been mistaken." As a result, Farwell's lawyers then provided the US DOJ consent to search Farwell's entire phone, following a question on the record in open court from Chief Judge Denise J. Casper. Judge Casper expects jury selection to begin Tuesday, October 6th, 2026, and opening statements are expected on Friday October 9, 2026. Each side will have 40 minutes for openings. Farwell, alleges the DOJ , killed Sandra on February 1, 2021, and then, over the course of that year, covered up the crime with the help of Tully, Fanning and the rest of Norfolk DA's Michael Morrissey's men. That was until August of 2023, through August of 2024, at which point the FBI exposed the cover up and, on August 28th, 2024, Farwell was federally indicted for Sandra's murder. In the fall of 2025, a new law signed by President Trump (President Donald J. Trump) was also used by the DOJ to indict Farwell for the death of Sandra's unborn 8-10 week old baby boy. Farwell was under the impression he was the father of Sandra's baby, at the time, but new DNA testing confirmed the actual father is Jason Pickard (a U.S. Army recruiter from Quincy who knew Matthew Farwell and his brother William). Despite all of that evidence, at the time of Sandra's death both the Canton PD and Tully's state police unit pressured the Massachusetts Medical Examiner's office to determine Sandra died by self harm within 24 hours of Sandra's death (and before the OCME even performed an autopsy). Days later, Fanning --who previously worked as a cop in Stoughton before going on to work for Tully's state police unit-- told Fanning there "were no suspects," there was no "crime," and "this investigation is the last thing [Tully's unit] needed."](https://image.24vids.com/tw-2106064121678442842/amplify_video_thumb/2106063841842925569/img/fIIdJV45pz5jZBXe.jpg)

Someone requested the footage I captured while walking #KarenReadTrial witnesses and the family of #JohnOKeefe into court on 2/26/24 as they were booed by #KarenRead's pep-rally cheer squad.

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.

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.
