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)....

From the beginning of the John O'Keefe murder investigation, several individuals appeared to distance themselves from knowing John or even knowing of him. One of those individuals was Canton Police Sergeant Sean Goode. We hear an example of this firsthand during Kerry Roberts' non-emergency call on January 29, 2022. During that call, Kerry provided specific identifying details that should have made it immediately clear who she was referring to: a Boston police officer who lived on Meadows off Pleasant Street and had adopted his niece and nephew. However, recent public records requests suggest a very different story. Less than a year earlier, Detective Kevin Albert and Goode were discussing an issue involving O'Keefe. During that conversation, Albert shared personal details about John, including that he was a Boston police officer who had adopted his niece and nephew - a tragic story that many in Canton were familiar with. These are the exact same identifying details Kerry provided to Goode during the January 29 call. It's also important to remember that Canton is a relatively small town, and the law enforcement community within it is even smaller. Officers who live in town but work for different agencies or jurisdictions often knew of one another, if not through work itself, then through local gatherings, events, or social circles. This included Greg Long and Brian Albert of BPD, Michael Proctor of MSP, and Brian Higgins of ATF. Not only had Albert and Goode discussed O'Keefe, but Goode had also been assigned to assist with O'Keefe's March 21, 2021 issue. In fact, that was not the only incident involving O'Keefe that Goode would assist with. Which raises an important question: was Goode minimizing or downplaying his familiarity with John during Kerry's call? In a previous post, I pointed out that Goode was actively texting while the scene where O'Keefe was found was being processed. He was also one of only three officers permitted inside Brian Albert's home at 34 Fairview Road. I've mentioned before just how involved Goode was in this investigation, and it's possible that whatever is uncovered through his internal affairs investigation could reveal more about what occurred during the earliest hours of John O'Keefe's murder investigation.

What's this? John O'Keefe and Karen Read re-trial witness Jen McCabe DID tell a grand jury that Karen said "I hit him! I hit him! I hit him!" at the scene where Karen is alleged to have struck John, while drunk-driving, and then left John to die in the snow? This is bad news heading into the end of Alan Jackson's cross on Friday (there is no court today). Jackson spent hours going in circles on Wednesday as to whether McCabe had told a grand jury about Karen's confession to "hitting John" and now the world gets an early preview of prosecutor Hank Brennan's re-direct via the video below (where Brennan will, no doubt, have McCabe confirm she told the Grand Jury those very words as to Karen's confession to hitting John). See video of McCabe testifying, on direct, that Karen said the words "I hit him! I hit him! I hit him!" on the scene of John's death, leaving jurors stunned - Although McCabe did not recall, when being asked by Jackson, if she gave such testimony to the grand jury, McCabe was able to recall that information on re-direct during testimony in the first Karen Read and John O'Keefe trial (which I have clipped and included below). Furthermore, Brennan has also announced in open court that, at the conclusion of McCabe's testimony, Brennan will be playing videos of Karen's own remarks for the jury, wherein Karen apparently talks about getting into an argument with John O'Keefe in the moments leading up to 12:32:16am ET on 1/29/22 (the moment Karen is alleged to have backed up her Lexus, with a BAC between 0.13 and 0.29, struck John and then left him to die in a blizzard on a lawn). See video of Brennan confirming in open court that those videos --where Karen talks about an argument with John during his last moments-- will be played for jurors, at the close of McCabe's testimony and after she is off the stand, here - Karen's argument with John, between 12:24am and 12:31am, was apparently about a woman John had dated years earlier ("Bella's mom"). McCabe has already testified, during Read's re-trial, that McCabe mentioned Bella's mom as a way to help Karen and John find their way to a house party in the moments before John was allegedly struck and killed by Karen's car. McCabe further testified that, for some reason, Karen started talking about Bella's mom, and John "cheating on Karen," in the moments before John's body was discovered by Karen, McCabe and Kerry Roberts after 6am on 1/29/22. See McCabe's testimony about Karen being upset about Bella's mom, from earlier this week in the Read re-trial, here - Karen, herself, had been cheating on John in the weeks leading up to this death, and John had expressed to Karen that the relationship had run it's course. Karen, for her part, felt John's adopted, double-orphaned, niece and nephew were putting a strain on the relationship. See text messages, from Karen herself, confirming she tried to cheat on John, in his own home, with John's friend (only for John's friend to shut the affair down when that friend realized Karen was trying to emotionally abuse John by way of that affair) here - That argument about Bella's mom (although not it's content) between Karen and John was also relayed, by Karen, to first responders when Karen was on the way to the hospital after 6am the next morning (Karen's parents had her sectioned due to threats of self-harm, and that is how Karen's blood was taken, thus confirming Karen was drunk at the time she allegedly backed into John and left him to die). See video of a firefighter/EMT confirming Karen made those statements about Karen's last words to John being an argument, in the moments leading up to 12:32:16am on 1/29/22, here - Jurors have already seen video of Karen confessing, to a documentary crew, to being too drunk to drive that morning (Karen's BAC was 2-4 times the legal limit of 0.08) and, shocking, a video of Karen mocking John's mother, Peggy, after Peggy told Karen, on the morning of 1/29/22, that John "looked like he got hit by a car." Watch video of Karen ruthlessly mocking Peggy O'Keefe here - Watch videos, played for jurors, of Karen admitting to being too drunk to drive in the moments before John O'Keefe was allegedly struck by Karen's car here - Jackson's cross, in some ways, was ill-fated before it began. Ian Whiffin, a world-renowned cell phone data expert and software coder from Cellebrite, confirmed for jurors that Jen McCabe's Google searches for "how long to die in cold", done at Karen Read's request while at the scene of John's death, occurred at 6:23am and 6:23am on 1/29/22. Watch video of that confirmation, which devastated Karen and her legal team, here - Wiffin also confirmed that John O'Keefe's phone never moved from the lawn of Fairview Road, based on GPS and temperature data, between 12:32:16am and after 6am on 1/29/22 (when John was found). See that testimony here - In turn, Friday should be a very bad day for Karen Read's defense. I'll be with you early tomorrow morning, as always, to provide special Towel Multi-Cam coverage --including the world famous Karen Cam-- via this link -

DISPROVING KAREN READ'S DEFENSE: BRIAN HIGGINS Karen Read and her legal team have propped up their insane third party culprit theory with a self-constructed romantic fantasy between Read and Higgins that did not exist in reality. As revealed in the first trial, Read and Brian Higgins had exchanged several awkward texts, shared an odd kiss, and met at Higgins apartment in what Higgins explained was an uncomfortable visit after Read had been out drinking with a friend. Read was the initiator and aggressor in all these instances. The last communication between the two occurred the evening of January 23rd with Read texting "Phone works ↔️". Higgins responded "Thought you were all set". This is not the response of a man madly in love with a woman and pining for her and certainly not the response one would expect from a man so blindly enamored he was willing to murder a friend to take his place. Instead what we see is a detached response. The next reply was from Read with her stating "With talking? No.." It is Read's response here that indicates she is the one with interest. Not convinced, Higgins responds "Hmmmm. Well" to which Read does not respond. If Higgins truly wanted Read, he would have continued texting that night pushing to rekindle but their communication stops until he sees her the night of the 28th. She was out of sight, out of mind for him. The "Ummm. Well" he texted her that night lends itself far more to a drunk text than how the defense has categorized it as an angry response from being rebuffed, which he hadn't been. Higgins summed up his interactions with Read as strange, "uncomfortable" and as having a "weird vibe". This was not a man who was in love with Read and the notion he would even exchange one heated word with John over Read is beyond ludicrous.

BREAKING NEWS 🚨🚨 Per newly-released John O'Keefe and Karen Read trial transcripts (May 24, 2024), undercover ATF Agent Brian Higgins testified or provided information to the US DOJ in Boston under a grant of immunity at some point prior to May of 2024 regarding John's death. Source, pages 127-128 (of 5481) here - Higgins, also according to new documents, was in some kind of bisexual relationship with both John and Karen in the weeks before John's death (that, for some reason, involved "gay men.") Read those text messages here - Furthermore, Higgins was inside a home at 34 Fairview Road in Canton on the night/early morning of January 28th into January 29th of 2022 that John was killed and left to die from a brain hemorrhage and hypothermia on a lawn during a blizzard. In recent weeks, it was also revealed that the state police unit who investigated Karen Read (and who may also have been involved in the coverup of Sandra Birchmore's murder by Stoughton police officer, and affiliate of Epstein-linked Stoughton Deputy Chief Robert Devine, Matthew Farwell) were the subject of an intense federal grand jury investigation related to the "performance of the Massachusetts state police" between, at the very least, the summer of 2024 and the early spring of 2024. Read more about the document, from the Brian Walshe, confirming that federal probe of the "performance of the state police" here- That grand jury (which, per the federal information filed against leaker Jessica Leslie, was empaneled by Justice Indra Talwani on May 26, 2022) culminated in a shocking six and a half hour interview of infamous former state trooper Michael Proctor (who worked under Brian Tully at the Norfolk District Attorney's State Police SPDU unit). According to new Internal Affairs documents released about Tully, after Proctor's six hour grilling by then US Attorney For The District Of Massachusetts Josh Levy, Tully and his right-hand man John Fanning (the trooper who wrote the 2021 state police report clearing Farwell for Birchmore's murder initially, prior to federal charges coming down for Farwell in August of 2024) visited Proctor's home and were desperate for information about that federal probe. Read that IA report here - Interestingly, in December of 2023, Brian Tully also used his official position as a state police officer to ask Lindsey Gaetani if she knew information about the "target of the federal probe." When Lindsey (a witness in the orbit of the TurtleBoy and Karen Read cases) told Tully that Norfolk DA Michael Morrissey was the target of the probe, Tully reacted with shock. Interestingly, Tully would have had access to a November 28, 2023, text messages (sent at 6:42PM ET exactly) from TurtleBoy to Lindsey which indicated that Josh Levy wanted to set an obstruction trap for Read trial witness Jen McCabe (who knows Tully personally and speaks to him directly) by comparing the discovery turned over to Karen Read's legal team with records obtained by the DOJ from McCabe's cellphone between February and May of 2022. Here's the transcript of an interview where Lindsey described that moment with Tully; **Grant Smith-Ellis:** Yeah, and Lindsey, let me ask you about something because I kind of might have previewed it before you came on, but I'm very interested to hear you talk about it. Brian Tully alludes in paragraph 79 of the Karen Read search warrant affidavit to a piece of information you told him related to like something about Josh Levy or something. Did Brian Tully—in December of 2023, while the Birchmore investigation was open (we know that now in hindsight)—did he ask you who the targets of the federal probe were? And what did you tell him, and how did he respond? **Lindsey Gaetani:** Yeah, and I said, yeah—from the conversations I had with Aidan, it was implied or alluded to—from either his conversations with Karen or whatever—that the target was Michael Morrissey. And I remember this moment like as if it were yesterday: Tully, at the same exact time as Nelson—they both looked at each other like their heads turned sideways. They both looked at each other, made eye contact, and kind of smirked. And then they looked back at me and continued the questioning. But it was just like—I was frozen in that moment, and I was like—what was that smirk about? Like, was that a smirk of relief? Like, “We are not the target”? Or was that a smirk of like, “Oh good—like, this is what we thought”? Like, I don't know what that was. I don't—I didn't know how to interpret it. I just know what I saw, you know? Source - In any event, on March 7th of 2024, after Tully found out that the DOJ had the contents of Michael proctor's cellphone (showing Proctor used horrifying language towards Karen Read), Tully was then forced to write up a disciplinary report on Proctor. However, before Tully could do so, Tully was forced to sign an NDA with the DOJ (middlewomaned by Norfolk ADA Laura McLaughlin) whereupon Tully was not allowed to see or hold the records from proctor's cellphone. Instead, Tully had to enter a room with McLaughlin and McLaughlin was not permitted (by the DOJ) to allow Tully to see or touch the documents. She read them, in part, to Tully and then he left the room. Furthermore, it is of note that, in July of 2025 (after Karen's second trial resulted in her acquittal for John's death and a guilty verdict on OUI) Michael Proctor, through counsel, told a lawyer in a number of other cases that Proctor investigated (including Myles King and Brian Walshe) that Proctor did not have any phone records to turn over to those defendants because his "old phone was destroyed in November of 2024" and "his new phone auto deletes itself every 30 days." Just a few months later, however, in late August of 2025, "someone" turned over 13 years of Proctor's phone records (including records that showed Proctor "sharing an SA victims name" with third parties, "sharing intimate images" with third parties and, also, potentially using racial slurs against defendants in cases Proctor investigated. Read more background about that timeline and Proctor's phone records here - In light of that information showing up in the Norfolk DA's possession, somehow, and then being turned over to multiple criminal defendants, Proctor then dropped his long-standing appeal of his discharge from the state police and retreated from public life entirely (as did almost all of his friends and allies connected to the Read investigation, many of whom were transferred demoted or involved in strange public scandals wherein the Boston Police Commissioner called them into his office and then lied to the media about it). As a result, it may well be that Brian Higgins is, or was, cooperating as a federal witness against some of the members of the state police unit who were involved in the investigation of John O'Keefe's death (and potentially he coverup of Sandra Birchmore's murder). My name is Grant Smith-Ellis and I wrote all of that from memory.

"Come on, folks. Do we see what's playing out here? Marbury v. Mad might have just brought down the Commissioner of the Boston Police Department." - Towel, November 6, 2025 Rule #1 in Massachusetts politics right now; Do not mess with Attorney Corey Hopkins. She's going to get barred here just to reform the government (then I'll become her paralegal and we'll submit public records requests all day). Good plan. TRANSCRIPT (from Towel's coverage of the letter in question, uncovered by Attorney Hopkins); Hello and good evening. It is just past 6 p.m. on Monday, November 3rd, 2025. My name is Grant Smith-Ellis, and I'm back with you again for another developing news update, this time related to Boston Police Commissioner Cox responding to a developing series of scandals, in particular related to former Boston Police Officer—well, first former Canton Police Officer, then former Boston Police Officer—Kelly Dever. Now, Kelly Dever was an integral witness during the John O'Keefe and Karen Read trial about one specific series of events in the early morning of January 29, 2022—not really related to John's death per se, but related to the then-chief of the Canton Police Department, Ken Berkowitz, who was also potentially the person that went to the FBI about Brian Tully's MSP unit, Massachusetts State Police unit, detailed to the Norfolk DA, who were the same people that investigated Karen Read for John's death. Berkowitz was the same person who apparently went to the FBI in 2022 about Tully's unit through John Fanning covering up Sandra Birchmore's death at the hands of former Stoughton PD officer Matthew Farwell. Okay, Ken Berkowitz and Brian Higgins—then undercover ATF agent who himself had been in a relationship of some kind, we'll call it that, with Karen in the months before John's death. That's a whole story we will not get into. The point is, Higgins and Berkowitz go into the sally port. Now, Kelly Dever had been working since, I think it was 12 a.m. on January 28th. She worked—let me make sure I get this right now—she worked at 12 p.m., noon on January 28th to 8 p.m. Then she worked the 8 p.m. to 4 a.m. shift. Okay, she was doing 16 hours over those two days. At like 1:30 a.m., she saw Berkowitz and Higgins—or around there, maybe a little later—go into the area, an area of the Canton PD. Then—and we're going to find out—she had a meeting with Boston Police Commissioner Cox. Now, why did Commissioner Cox get himself in trouble? Well, not because of the interview we're going to watch, but instead because of an interview about a year ago where he said he knew nothing about the Kelly Dever situation or the Karen Read case. All right, now we're going to quickly come to find out that what we're about to hear from the commissioner is not the best answer in light of this little document found by the incredible Marbury v. Madison on X, Corey A. Hopkins, a business litigator based in North Carolina. Towel really likes Marbury v. Madison because, first of all, Marbury v. Madison is an awesome case, and it entrenched the supremacy of the judiciary as to saying what the law is by virtue of the Constitution. Solved a very complex problem related to the Judiciary Act of 1789 and, in particular, the emergence of political parties in 1796 and, in particular, 1800, and a slew of last-minute appointments by President Adams and a refusal by President Jefferson to commission—or one of the refusal by Jefferson's Secretary of State Madison to commission a justice of the peace. But it really was about the supremacy of the judiciary branch. Marbury v. Madison uses a lot of FOIAs, and what you're going to see right here is a FOIA request that resulted in this wonderful little document. And what does this show? All right, this document shows, folks, a letter from Stephen J. Kelleher, who's with the White Collar Public Corruption and Civil Rights Division of the FBI in Boston. It is a letter that Marbury v. Madison obtained via a FOIA, and it shows the DOJ reaching out to Commissioner Cox and saying, "Sir, hope all is well. Just a reminder—this was on February 22nd, 2024. The documents were released to the DA's office late last night." This has to do with federal documents about the investigation of John's death by the MSP unit run by Brian Tully working for the Norfolk DA. "The officer we spoke about is Kelly Dever. If you have any questions at all, feel free to call me. Vr. Steve." Okay, folks, this proves that Commissioner Cox was told about Kelly Dever and documents related to her testimony and what she saw Higgins and Berkowitz doing—which I don't think was related to John's death, but it's just embarrassing for Higgins. He was an undercover ATF agent, and embarrassing for Berkowitz. And although Berkowitz is now dead, he was either dying or not dead in 2024. And clearly, this was embarrassing, okay, to the Canton Police Chief, to the Boston Police, to Higgins, to all these people. All right. And so we see here, Cox knows about it. Cox then goes on a few months later—I think it was either after, I think it was right after Karen's second trial, but it was some months after this initial email was sent to Cox. And Cox, in his infinite wisdom, tells Boston 25 or Channel 5 or whatever it was at a news conference that he's basically never heard of Kelly Dever or the Karen Read and John O'Keefe case. Okay, that was a stupid thing to say because then this FOIA comes out in recent weeks. That leads to Alan Jackson to send a Brady letter to Mayor Michelle Wu, the Democratic mayor of Boston running unopposed in the coming election, saying that Cox should be on the Brady list. I think it was—yes, because Cox was not forthcoming about what he was told by the feds about Dever. Okay, now this is Cox's response. I just want to show you how bad of a response this is. Okay, this is a clip via Boston 25, just Cox's comment on these new developments, which—although Alan Jackson's Brady letter is what Cox was asked for comment on—even Alan Jackson himself has rightfully so given credit to Marbury v. Madison for their excellent find on this FOIA document that was unearthed. And this could cost Cox his position. All right, the Democrats in Boston already have the eye of President Trump. The DOJ is all over this unit, in my opinion, and the cover-up of Birchmore's death. Look at the DOJ's pattern of indictments, okay? Recently, not just the Jessica LeClair leaks, but also Sheriff Tompkins and other major Democrats. Look at what's going on here, folks. Think about the larger picture—the most recent indictment, the superseding indictment of Matt Farwell for the murder of Sandra Birchmore's unborn child. It's all coming together. And Commissioner Cox's answer is bad. And that's why I want to analyze it. It's not just like inappropriate. It is a bad, bad, bad answer. When I heard it, I had to immediately make a video to analyze it because that's how bad this answer is. It's short, but I'm going to tell you how bad it is after we listen to it. "But what I need, you know, it's not to be asked this question ever again because it's not—it has to pertain to anything to do with the police department. My condolences to the O'Keefe family for, you know, what they've gone through. And because we did lose a department member. But outside of that, this has nothing to do with us. And I'm not going to speak with this again." Okay, let me just make something clear. I'm not saying he was wrong. It's not wrong to invoke John's name. But doing it that way—that's grotesque. Okay, he didn't answer the question. He basically refused to do so. And again, if you didn't hear the statement—although I'm sure you did—he said, "What I need is to not be asked this question ever again pertaining to anything to do with the police department." What? "My condolences to the O'Keefe family for what they've gone through because we did lose a department member." John O'Keefe was an honorable member of the Boston PD and the SA offenders unit. "But outside of that, this has nothing to do with us, the Boston PD, and I'm not going to speak on this again." No, no, no, no—that you just cost yourself your job right there. I'm sorry. That was a terrible, terrible answer. I'm sorry for the volume. I'm just running it back. Terrible answer. The worst possible answer. You may well have just cost yourself your job because you ducked the question. Everyone knows that the question is about this document. Anyone following this knows. The implications are what Dever knew about Berkowitz and Higgins, and maybe that's not the most serious thing. But as President Nixon said, it is not the crime, it's the cover-up. Dever, whatever she did—not wanting to talk about certain things about Higgins and Berkowitz, unrelated to John's death, just because it's kind of embarrassing—that is not a problem really. It's a minor thing. You know what's a big deal? Dever definitely got Brady-listed or whatever because her testimony was a little weird. I think Alan Jackson also pressured her a little bit. But whatever, that's not the point here. Cox's response—that was bad. That was bad PR. That's like the kind of thing when Prince Andrew was forced to go out and do an interview with BBC One about Epstein, and it just cost him all his titles because he got no PR help; he got sandbagged. That kind of thing—somebody didn't prep him, or the people he was talking to didn't even think this would come up. That's a horrible answer. Twenty seconds can cost you your career if you have done something bad and you answer a tough question like that. It's defensive; it shows you have something to hide; it undermines people's faith in your ability to answer those kind of questions. That's the biggest problem for Commissioner Cox here. Instead of inspiring confidence and making it look like it was nothing or it was just a routine, he couldn't even address the fact that he was made aware in February, in particular, about Kelly Dever and he had knowledge—he had a meeting with her. Let's be clear: He put her on his schedule the very next day. Not only did he have recipient knowledge of what was going on with the federal investigation and the John O'Keefe and Karen Read case—Dever got called into his office the next day, which of course Cox initially tried to play off as just some routine meeting, as if he meets with all 2,600 or whatever of the Boston police force. No. Come on, folks. Come on, folks. Do we see what's playing out here? Marbury v. Madison might have just brought down the Commissioner of the Boston Police Department. My name is Grant Smith-Ellis. Enjoy the rest of your Monday. We'll see what other news comes in today. Sean Good on suspension. Michael Proctor's cell phone gate engulfing the world in a conflagration. Little towel basically running down the street from the masses, trying to insulate himself from the fallout of this God-forsaken situation. Institutional reform is coming—to the Norfolk DA, hopefully throughout the state police—so that the good people in law enforcement can keep helping the vulnerable and that the exploited, no matter how much pressure they come under, continue to speak their truth. And let me just say this: Whenever we stand against the flow of opinion on hotly contested issues, a man, a woman, and a Towel—do what they must in spite of the personal consequences, in spite of the dangers and obstacles and pressures. For that is the basis of all human morality. We will be there for each other in times of struggle. We will be side by side in times of joy. And when everything is on the line and when our principles matter the most, there will be no price too high to pay to center the voices of the unheard, to bring justice to the vulnerable, and to reform this God-forsaken justice system in Massachusetts so that we can all hand down a structural system to our future generations that is worthy of our Constitution, that is worthy of our collective intelligence, and that is worthy of the due reverence we all should be providing to the pursuit of justice. My name is Grant Smith-Ellis. Until next time, you're a towel, I am as well. Be well. God bless.

There was a massive John O'Keefe and Karen Read re-trial bombshell that went under the surface last week. Not only were 17 Ring videos deleted from John's system between 12:37am and 5:08am on 1/29/22, another video of Karen and her family collecting the murder weapon after 12pm ET that day was also deleted. This means someone (probably Karen) accessed John's Ring system --access that John's niece and nephew have testified Karen possessed-- sometime in the afternoon of 1/29/22 (before search warrants were served on Karen's phone and her car, after 4pm that day, when the vehicle was located by State Police at the home of Karen's parents in Dighton). Indeed, Karen would only need knowledge of John's Ring login information --something Karen had, as evidenced by the document below-- in order to access the system remotely from any device. The fact that there was a video deleted after 12pm on 1/29/22, and that the video in question directly captured Karen and her family leaving John's home with the murder weapon, indicates at least some of the deletions in questions did not occur until Karen was released from the hospital. Karen's access to John's rings system, and the timeline of the deleted videos, thus raises the potential that Karen also deleted 17 of the 18 Ring videos from earlier that morning --between 12:37am and 5:08am, as mentioned-- while at her parents house in Dighton. In turn, this would mean Karen left specific Ring videos on the system, including a staged "bump" into John's car at at 5:08am, in anticipation of being criminally charged. Read a prior public court motion regarding Karen's access to John's ring system here - If these deletions are confirmed, Karen's prior statement during a news interview becomes an ominous double entendre. "I mean, what kind of criminal mastermind am I? Not a very good one," said Read with a smirk to the camera. Perhaps in a prescient manner, when that clip first aired in March of 2025, this is what I reported (at the time, I did not fully realize the implications of Karen also deleting another damning Ring video from after 12pm on 1/29/22); "Karen Read, as I predicted many months ago, left a single Ring video on John O'Keefe's system , from roughly 5:08am, wherein Karen may have staged a fake "bump" into John O'Keefe's car to, in real time, plant reasonable double as to the cause of Read's broken taillight." "I am actually stunned that, in that moment, Karen managed to make sure the other 17 Ring videos on John's system were deleted (from between 12:37am and 5:08am), and managed to stage a fake "bump" into John's car, as a preemptive form of artificial reasonable doubt." "Karen didn't pull it off, but her mind was certainly in overdrive that morning before Read hatched her plan to, in my view, return to Fairview Road (circa 5:23am), confirm John was indeed dead, as a result of Karen hitting John with her car at 12:31am that morning, while drunk, and then leaving John on the lawn in a blizzard." "Then, Read, after 5:35am, went to pick up Jen McCabe and Kerri Roberts, returned to John's house with the two women, told them to stop searching in John's house because "John wasn't there," left the alleged murder weapon in John's driveway, and returned to Fairview Road after 6am (in Kerri's car), whereupon Karen somehow "saw" John's body in the snow, through a blizzard, and before the three women passed the tree line of the lawn of the home where John met his lonesome and untimely end earlier that morning (as a result of what, I believe, was a fight between John and Karen, as to the breakdown of their relationship, spiraling when Karen felt she was losing control of the situation)." See that clip of Karen's "criminal mastermind" statement, and read my shockingly accurate prediction, here - Also of note, in towel's exclusive Karen Cam footage from May 8th, 2025 --when jurors in Read's re-trial were show evidence of Karen's father and brother collecting Read's Lexus from John's home in Canton after 12pm ET on 1/29/22-- prior observations by social media users --related to Bill Read leaving the courtroom within seconds of those clips being shown to jurors-- were confirmed. Read the initial reporting of Mr. Read leaving the courtroom in very seconds after clips were played here - Bill Read --already under observation by a court officer due to reports Mr. Read was staring at jurors as state witnesses were testifying over recent days-- noticeably left the front bench behind his daughter for nearly 40 minutes in the immediate aftermath of the deleted Ring videos (in particular from after 12pm that day involving Mr. Read, Karen's brother, and Karen's sister-in-law - all three of whom are on the state's witness list for the re-trial, but have yet to be called). This was the first time, throughout any proceeding, that Mr. Read left the courtroom benches during trial for an extended period of time. Interestingly, Hank Brennan announced last week in a court motion that the keeper of records for Ring will be testifying in Karen's re-trial --something that did not happen in the first trial-- which, further, suggests that Ring may have a log of when John's account was accessed, where it was accessed from and, most importantly, what videos were deleted from that account (along with when those videos were deleted). Read that motion related to Ring's upcoming testimony, between May 12 and May 16 of 2025, here - If it is indeed confirmed that Karen, or her family member, accessed John's Ring system to remove 17 of the 18 videos recorded between 12:37am and 5:08am on 1/29/22, along with another video after 12pm showing Karen's family collecting the vehicle, with a broken taillight, before taking it back to Dighton-- that is devastating evidence to Karen's defense. It has already been revealed in court papers, in that regard, that Karen was on her laptop at her parent's house around 4pm on 1/29/22 --when Karen's phone and car were collected as evidence by the police-- and, in turn, that may be the smoking gun as to Karen's consciousness of guilt if Ring records indicate videos from John's system were deleted from a remote location (in particular Dighton, Massachusetts) circa 2-4pm or so on that afternoon. Those deleted videos are no doubt very damaging to Karen, and would certainly show her taillight broken when Karen returned to John's home at 12:37am that morning --as confirmed by Karen connecting to John's home wifi at that time-- as well as that taillight being broken when Karen, her father, her brother and her sister-in-law came to collect the alleged murder weapon after 12pm ET on 1/29/22. See testimony from Karen's first trial wherein Karen admitted to one of John's friends --whom Karen tried to bait into an affair by manipulating that friend about John hugging someone on a vacation prior to John's death, until John's friend cut off the affair when he realized Karen was only trying to hurt John-- that Karen "knew where the Ring cameras were" in John's home in the weeks leading up to John's last moments alive, here - Karen, of course, was taken to the hospital (at the request of her own parents) for threatening self harm after confessing to hitting John O'Keefe, while drunk and with a BAC of 0.14-0.28 (2-4 times the legal limit) at exactly 12:32:16am ET on 1/29/22. Firefighter Katie McLaughlin, a key witness in the John O'Keefe and Karen Read re-trial, testified that she was the person who asked Karen if John had experienced any trauma in the early morning of 1/29/22, to which Karen replied, "I hit him! I hit him! I hit him!" At that point, multiple witnesses to the statement (including other first responders) realized Karen was confessing to hitting John O'Keefe with her car, while drunk with a BAC between 0.14 and 0.28, and then the Canton Police called in their supervisor. See that earthshattering testimony from Firefighter McLaughlin here - Jurors have already seen shocking videos, from Karen's own media interviews, wherein Read admits that she should not have been drunk driving in the moments before she John drove from a bar to an after party a local home. The clips, in turn, not only showed Karen admitting to her state of intoxication while driving but, at the same time, they also showed Karen ADMITTING to having up to nine drinks over just three or so hours on the evening of 1/28/22 and the early morning of 1/29/22. Indeed, see that admission by Read, as to her state of intoxication while driving in the moment's before John was allegedly struck, here - "I had been out late, I had been drinking, John was in the last general vicinity of where I saw him...within 50 feet...he's in the front yard so I'm thinking "Jesus, was I starting to pull away and did I run over his foot." "So when I found him, I was thinking, did I clip him somehow," said Read, in further footage played before jurors. Read's team fought hard to keep those pieces of footage secret from jurors, and the public, but that plan failed. Watch the previously-secret footage of Karen's admission as to potentially hitting John with her car while drunk here - Somehow making Read's situation worse, Hank Brennan than played interviews with Read wherein Karen admitted to attempting to frame one of John's dear friends, Jen McCabe, for Karen's actions. "Jen McCabe? It's me or her! Either I'm going down, Jen, or you are!" Read told a film crew, in remarks played for jurors during week 2 of Karen's re-trial as to causing John's death. See that moment here - Of note, Hank Brennan has played multiple audio and video recordings for the jury related to Karen Read admitting that Karen and John O'Keefe were in an argument in the minutes leading up to Read allegedly striking John with her car, while drunk driving. Karen was upset because the name of John's former girlfriend was mentioned on the drive to Fairview Road. See more background about that argument between a possessive, controlling, Karen Read and John O'Keefe, in the moments before John was allegedly struck by Karen's car at 12:32am on 1/29/22, here - Earlier last week, jurors were aghast at Karen mocking John's mother, Peggy O'Keefe, also in a media interview. See those moments here - Also, as a final note, I want to extend a huge thank you to super towel MrrderByMaestro for noticing the subtle moment in court this week when confirmation came down that a Ring video from John's home system -- that is obviously quite damaging to Karen Read's defense-- was deleted (along with the 17 of 18 videos deleted earlier that morning that also implicate Karen, and her broken taillight, as the cause of John's death). I believe Mr. ByMaestro to be the exemplar of noble towel service to humanity, and I thus deem him a member of Nobilis ordo Linteo (N.o.L.).

JUST NOW 🚨 🚨 🚨 : "John [O'Keefe] I f***ing hate you!- Karen Read, 12:37am on 1/29/22 (just 5 minutes after allegedly striking John with her car, while drunk, with a BAC between 0.14-0.28). "John it's 1am and I'm with your fucking niece and nephew. You're a pervert. You're a fucking pervert!" "You're fucking another girl, you're a fucking loser, fuck yourself!" Read also said to John, as he lay dying on a lawn. Jurors in the John O'Keefe and Karen Read re-trial have just heard a shocking series of voicemails from Karen Read to John O'Keefe, in the moments after Read is alleged to have hit John while drunk with her car and then left John to die in a blizzard, alone, on a lawn with a head injury. Then, jurors heard a 5:23am voicemail from Karen to John where Karen screams "John, is that you!?!" - this was the very moment it is believed Karen returned to the scene of her crime to confirm John was dead before leaving again to go collect two witnesses. Read called John nearly 40 times in the hours between 12:32am and after 6am on 1/29/22. Oh my word, those clips were the very last things jurors heard before the 45 minute lunch break. Hank Brennan is a legal magician. He is magisterial. He is the Lionel Messi of the courtroom, towel friends, mark my words. Watch live as we head into luncheon recess, chat with the towel friends, and see special Towel MultiCam coverage --including the world famous Karen Cam-- via this link (which is the only link showing the Karen Cam today, as far as I know) -

Brian Higgins was apparently interviewed by investigators at his lawyers house in Sharon, MA, with his lawyer present. The Commonwealth wants you to believe Brian Higgins is merely an innocent “witness”. Karen Read was immediately open and forthcoming with investigators, and did not demand to be interviewed at her lawyer’s office, house, or even to have a lawyer present. Karen Read also didn’t illegally use federal resources to cherry pick and curate a packet of printed out text messages she deemed relevant to law enforcement’s investigation. Who does this?! Brian Higgins did this. And that’s before he destroyed his cellphone and disposed of it on a military base right before a court preservation order, changed his phone number and phone carrier. Karen Read did none of those things and happily turned over her phone to investigators on day 1, despite them having no search warrant for it. Yuri Bukhenik is so blind to his State Police Detective Unit’s clear and overwhelming bias when it comes to investigating crimes involving fellow law-enforcement. This is reflected in the preferential treatment with which they afford these law enforcement officers for their otherwise suspicious actions. Much like Michael Proctor’s text messages: “I’m sure the owner of the house will receive some shit.” “Nope.” “Homeowner’s a Boston cop too.” #KarenRead #BrianHiggins #YuriBukhenik #FreeKarenRead #KarenReadTrial #KarenReadTrial2 #JusticeForJohnOKeefe

Timeline Question of the Day So just to recap… Brian Higgins testified that Chief Berkowitz called him early in the morning about John O’Keefe, a call Higgins says he missed. But here’s the fun part No one testified that they called Berkowitz. No one testified that they spoke to Berkowitz before 6:30 AM. Higgins says he called Brian Albert first, Then he headed straight to 34 Fairview So naturally the question becomes… Who told Berkowitz? When did they tell him? And how did he know to call Higgins before Higgins knew anything? No one admits calling Berkowitz, Yet Berkowitz somehow had the info early enough to be calling people Amazing work, everyone. This timeline didn’t just have a hangover it woke up knowing things before anyone told it. Before testifying, Brian Higgins probably should’ve called Jen McCabe first. Not about the facts, but about how to make time bend, how to shave an hour off a drive, and how to be asleep and awake at the same time. She could’ve helped him, Leave at 12:30 but arrive at 1:26 Drive 9 miles in a blizzard in record time, Have drinks, eat, go to bed, answer 2:22 AM calls, and still be “asleep” Run on 4 hours of sleep after spending the day in NYC, driving back to canton, bar hopping, 34 Fairview, CPD, and a full day back at the station And maybe most importantly Explain how to testify with a timeline hangover that bad Missed opportunity, honestly. Jen’s got experience making the math work. even the phone calls have no witnesses
