00:00:36And I'm not as clear as if I hadn't been drinking.
00:00:59Hey, can I get a vodka soda?

00:05:01I haven't heard anything.
00:05:04I haven't heard anything.
00:06:01I haven't heard anything.
00:06:04I haven't heard anything.
00:06:34I haven't heard anything.
00:06:47John?
00:06:53John?
00:07:03John?
00:07:07John?
00:07:08John?
00:07:15John?
00:07:18John?
00:07:19Where the hell are you?
00:07:21Will you call me back please?
00:07:23Call me.
00:07:27John?
00:07:28Where the hell are you?
00:07:30Pick up the phone, god damn it!
00:07:35John?
00:07:37John?
00:07:37What's going on?
00:07:38I don't know where John is.
00:07:40What?
00:07:40What do you mean?
00:07:41I can't find him.
00:07:42Have you talked to him?
00:07:44Have you seen him?
00:07:45Just calm down.
00:07:46Tell me what happened.
00:07:46I came home last night and I'm totally freaking out right now.
00:07:50I mean, I figured you guys just-
00:07:51He never came home.
00:07:52I don't know what to do.
00:07:53I'm seriously freaking out over here.
00:07:54John, he never came home.
00:07:56Just relax, okay?
00:07:57I'm sure he's fine.
00:07:58We'll figure it out, okay?
00:08:00I think I just need to go look for him.
00:08:01I can't stand here.
00:08:02I have to go.
00:08:11Oh shit.
00:08:31John, pick up the phone, god damn it!
00:08:35Pick up the phone!
00:08:40Gary, I'm worried.
00:08:42I'm worried John might be dead.
00:08:44What?
00:08:44I think he may have gotten hit by a plow.
00:08:46He never came home last night.
00:08:48We were all out drinking and-
00:08:50Karen, maybe you shouldn't be on the road.
00:08:53No, I'm headed to Jed McCabe's.
00:08:54Will you help us, please?
00:08:55Will you come?
00:08:56Please, will you come help us?
00:09:00Let's meet back at John's.
00:09:07Jed!
00:09:09Jed!
00:09:10Jed, get in the car.
00:09:11Gary's meeting us back at John's house.
00:09:12What happened here?
00:09:14I backed up into John's car as I was pulling out.
00:09:16Maybe he's at home.
00:09:17Maybe we'll just check the house again.
00:09:18No, I've checked the entire house.
00:09:20Every room.
00:09:21Okay.
00:09:21And I've been calling him.
00:09:22Okay, let's just look again.
00:09:24Just get in the car!
00:09:25It's okay!
00:09:42I told you, he wasn't here.
00:09:45I don't know, maybe he went and slept it off at the Alberts.
00:09:49I mean, maybe he was too drunk.
00:09:50I mean, we didn't see him.
00:09:52Can we just...
00:09:52Can we please just go there?
00:09:54Do you remember you last saw him?
00:09:56No, I don't...
00:09:57I don't know.
00:09:58I mean...
00:09:59I don't...
00:10:00I saw you guys pull up in front of Brian's.
00:10:04What?
00:10:04Yeah, I saw your car out front.
00:10:06I mean, I figured you guys changed your mind and left.
00:10:07What?
00:10:09What?
00:10:09I...
00:10:11No, I...
00:10:12I don't know.
00:10:13I don't...
00:10:13Maybe...
00:10:14I don't know.
00:10:15Let's just...
00:10:16Just keep driving.
00:10:23There he is.
00:10:24There he is!
00:10:25What?
00:10:26Where?
00:10:26Stop, stop, stop, stop.
00:10:29Wait, why are you seeing him?
00:10:32John!
00:10:34He's crazy.
00:10:38Oh my God, no!
00:10:39Oh my God, no!
00:10:42No!
00:10:44John, I'm going to do it now!
00:10:47John!
00:10:48John!
00:10:49No!
00:10:50John!
00:10:50Call that on what?
00:10:51I'm getting to the CPR!
00:10:53Get off!
00:10:54Uh, yeah, yeah.
00:10:55No, we need someone to 34 Fairview Road, Canton, Mass, now.
00:10:59What's going on?
00:11:00Yeah, there's a guy. He's unresponsive in the snow.
00:11:02Oh, my God.
00:11:07Oh, baby.

00:11:41Awesome cop.

00:12:12Get you to step back and then get you to step back and step back.
00:12:15Uh, he does have some trauma to his head. I'm not sure if he was in a fight or whatever.
00:12:22I'm not getting him.
00:12:22All right.
00:12:23No.
00:12:25One.
00:12:26Two.
00:12:26Don't need any officer.
00:12:28All right.

00:12:55Dad.
00:12:57Dad.
00:12:57It's John.
00:12:58He's dead.
00:12:59What?
00:13:00No.
00:13:01I don't want to be alive right now.
00:13:04Dad, I just...
00:13:06I just want to die.
00:13:09Is she breathing?
00:13:11No.
00:13:12All right.
00:13:12Let's move him.
00:13:18Wait.
00:13:19No.
00:13:22Wait.
00:13:23No.
00:13:23We can control the Camden 682.
00:13:26682.
00:13:27Are you aware of the party on scene?
00:13:28Or the caller named Karen?
00:13:30Affirmative.
00:13:31It's going to be okay.
00:13:32I have her father on the line.
00:13:34She's making suicidal comments.
00:13:37I'm going to section her so we know where she is.
00:13:39It's okay, John.
00:13:41John.
00:13:42Ann, Ann, you're going to be coming with us?
00:13:43What are you talking about?
00:13:44I want to go with him.
00:13:46We're going to ride over here for you.
00:13:47No.
00:13:48It's okay.
00:13:48and the other ambulance, please.
00:13:50It'll be okay. We'll get him over.
00:13:51We'll get him over.
00:13:51We're going with him.
00:13:52We're going with him.
00:13:54We're going with him forever.
00:13:55We're going to get through out of him.
00:13:56You're going to be traveling with me.
00:13:57We're going to be going with this ambulance over here.
00:13:59No.
00:14:08Okay.
00:14:17Please don't do it.
00:14:18Please don't do it.
00:14:20Okay.
00:14:21Just try to focus on trying to calm your breathing.
00:14:26Are you...
00:14:27Are you going to understand?
00:14:31I don't want to live without him.
00:14:34Ma'am, are you thinking about hurting yourself?
00:14:41Did they find a pulse?
00:14:44We're on our way to the hospital.
00:14:46We're going to find out more then.
00:14:51They tried giving him mouth to mouth.
00:14:53That was good.
00:14:54And he's going where they can really take care of him.
00:14:57He's going to be there in a few minutes.
00:15:01Steven, I'm leaving.
00:15:03Oh, good.
00:15:07We're right in here.
00:15:10Why don't you have a seat?
00:15:12Why am I in here?
00:15:13We just need to run some tests.
00:15:15I don't understand.
00:15:16You're brought in under a section 12 that's a psychiatric hold.
00:15:19And the EMT is concerned you might hurt yourself.
00:15:21I just saw my boyfriend half dead in the snow.
00:15:24I just need to go see him.
00:15:26Please, let me see him.
00:15:27Hey, hey, I'm looking for my brother, John O'Keefe.
00:15:29He was brought in here.
00:15:32Paul!
00:15:33Paul!
00:15:36Paul!
00:15:37Paul!
00:15:37Oh, God.
00:15:39Paul!
00:15:40No, that's them.
00:15:40That's my...
00:15:41That's the family.
00:15:43Please.
00:15:43I need to go be with them.
00:15:44I don't understand why you're taking my blood.
00:15:48Please make a fist.
00:15:49The doctor will be in soon to ask you a few questions.
00:15:52Oh, Jesus.
00:16:02Hi, Dad.
00:16:05I got here as quick as I could.
00:16:11They won't let me see him.
00:16:16They, uh, I mean, honey, they, uh, they did what they could do.
00:16:22Did you see him?
00:16:23Is he okay?
00:16:25Oh, sweetheart.
00:16:30He's, uh, he's gone.
00:16:33No, no, no.
00:16:36No.
00:16:40Please don't tell me that.
00:16:42No.
00:16:43No, no.
00:16:44Oh, he hit me.
00:16:46They did everything that could have been done.
00:16:54How did it happen?
00:16:56What, I mean, did I hit him?
00:16:59Did...
00:17:01Could I?
00:17:02Could I have hit him?
00:17:20John, where are you?
00:17:24John, pick up.
00:17:25Come on, where are you?
00:17:28Call me.
00:17:30John, would you pick up your phone?
00:17:32Really?
00:17:33You're a goddamn loser, you know that?
00:17:35You are a goddamn loser.
00:17:37Call me back.
00:17:38I goddamn hate you.
00:17:41I goddamn hate you.
00:17:43Do you hear me?
00:17:44I goddamn hate you.
00:18:05Doctor, they put you on this?
00:18:06Lead investigator.
00:18:07What are we looking at?
00:18:09A foot of snow and a vague hope we'll find anything important underneath.
00:18:12Why can't these things only happen in the spring?
00:18:16What are you doing?
00:18:17That's a solo cup.
00:18:18That's all we got right now.
00:18:20Just trying to beat the snow mill.
00:18:27Uh, how you holding up?
00:18:36Not good.
00:18:37How can he be gone?
00:18:42How can I never, ever see him again?
00:18:47I need to see the kids.
00:18:49Will you take me?
00:18:50I think that's a good idea.
00:19:21I wasn't expecting.
00:19:29I'm so sorry.
00:19:40Nobody told me that everybody was getting together here.
00:19:45That we all wanted to be with the kids.
00:19:48Yeah, yeah, me too.
00:19:51How are they?
00:19:55I mean, you know what happened.
00:19:57They're taking it pretty hard.
00:20:01Where are they?
00:20:03Upstairs.
00:20:07You saw him?
00:20:10John?
00:20:12Yeah, I saw him.
00:20:15They didn't let me see him.
00:20:17They put me in a different room.
00:20:19What did he...
00:20:22What did he look like?
00:20:24He's pretty banged up.
00:20:27Looked to me like he got hit by a car.
00:20:34Excuse me.
00:20:48What the hell is going on here?
00:20:51They're upset.
00:20:52I'm upset.
00:20:54I loved this man.
00:20:56You want to spend five nights a week in this house?
00:21:00This is more in my home than it is theirs.
00:21:01And they think they can just come right in.
00:21:04Well, you understand why they want to be here.
00:21:07And I took care of those kids like a mother.
00:21:10I mean, there was...
00:21:12There was like this bond, you know?
00:21:18What the hell is going on here, Dad?
00:21:20Did you see the way that they were looking at me?
00:21:24Everybody's just confused.
00:21:26Nobody knows what happened.
00:21:31Neither do I.
00:21:34But everybody seems to only be looking at me.
00:21:38And even what?
00:21:41Let them.
00:21:44Because if I did anything in any way,
00:21:47then I will pay my dues.
00:21:50And this is how it should be.
00:21:55I want to know the truth, Dad.
00:21:59Good, bad, or ugly.
00:22:21I want to know the truth.
00:22:22Hi, Mr. Reed.
00:22:23Yes?
00:22:24I'm Michael Proctor with Massachusetts State Police.
00:22:27I understand your daughter's here?
00:22:29Come in.
00:22:38We got in an argument that day.
00:22:41Sort of ongoing thing.
00:22:43About what?
00:22:45Just, you know, relationship stuff.
00:22:48Nothing new.
00:22:50But by the time we met up, we were all good.
00:22:55You know, we were, we were kissing and laughing.
00:22:59We were with our friends.
00:23:01And then he got out of the car.
00:23:03And I left.
00:23:05And that was, that was the last time I ever saw him.
00:23:08That was outside the Albert's house around 12.30 a.m.
00:23:13Yeah.
00:23:15Yeah, he, he got out of my car.
00:23:18I had a stomachache, so I just went back to his house.
00:23:21We got your blood results back from the hospital.
00:23:23You had a .093% at nine this morning.
00:23:28That's still over the legal limit.
00:23:31Guess you guys were tying one on pretty good last night.
00:23:34Everybody was drinking.
00:23:37I mean, I had a couple drinks at McCarthy's.
00:23:40A couple more at the waterfall.
00:23:41I, I felt fine.
00:23:44Fine enough to get behind the wheel.
00:23:46Yeah, well, I got home in one piece.
00:23:49I noticed on the way in you got a bus to tell.
00:23:52Yeah, that, um, that happened this morning.
00:23:56I backed into John's car.
00:24:00He's missing.
00:24:02I, I was frantic.
00:24:04Well, since the car's the last place anyone saw John,
00:24:06I'm afraid I'm gonna have to take that in to be investigated.
00:24:10Are you serious?
00:24:12You're gonna take my car?
00:24:14Well, how am I supposed to get to work?
00:24:18Can you work from home?
00:24:20I mean, I, I'm a financial analyst.
00:24:23I can do that work from home, but I also teach finance at the university.
00:24:27Sorry, the car's evidence.
00:24:28I'm afraid we're all seconded to ask for your phone.
00:24:31What?
00:24:49I think I'm gonna need a lawyer.
00:24:54So, the first thing that we can expect, most likely, is a no-contact order.
00:24:59No contact?
00:25:01What does that even...
00:25:03With who?
00:25:04With anyone in John's family.
00:25:08And I'm afraid that means that you won't be able to attend John's funeral.
00:25:12What?
00:25:14No contact with his family at all.
00:25:16I'm really sorry.
00:25:18They all have their minds made up.
00:25:21You know, three days ago, I was like family to them.
00:25:24And all of a sudden, no contact?
00:25:27I mean, is that even necessary?
00:25:29No one's speaking to me anyway.
00:25:30They're almost certainly gonna put a warrant out for your arrest.
00:25:33My arrest?
00:25:36I didn't do anything.
00:25:37I didn't do anything.
00:25:37This is insane.
00:25:47Look, that night...
00:25:53I had been drinking.
00:25:58It was late.
00:26:01And I mean, I don't know what could have happened.
00:26:08Did he try to get to me while I was leaving and I just didn't... I didn't know it?
00:26:12I mean, I always have the music blasting.
00:26:15It was snowing.
00:26:16I had the wipers going.
00:26:17I had the heater blasting.
00:26:19I mean...
00:26:21What if...
00:26:25I don't even know.
00:26:26What if I ran over his foot?
00:26:30Or what if I clipped him in the knee and he just passed out?
00:26:36Then you would have some element of culpability.
00:26:40They took your phone.
00:26:41They took your car.
00:26:44You need to prepare yourself.
00:26:47How is anybody supposed to prepare themselves for something like this?
00:26:51You can also expect some fairly invasive discovery.
00:26:54Subpoenas for your texts, your emails, your financial records.
00:26:59I'll talk to the DA and arrange for you to voluntarily surrender.
00:27:04Everybody's so damn sure.
00:27:06Burned me at the stake already.
00:27:08Listen, Karen.
00:27:11I'm going to be with you for the whole thing.
00:27:14I've been practicing law for 30 plus years.
00:27:18They're going to take your picture.
00:27:20They'll take your prints.
00:27:21You post bail, you go home.
00:27:30I think closer to the room.
00:27:33I'm going to check that over there.
00:27:36Yeah, yeah, I'll grab one for a minute.
00:28:06Just behind me is the location of the tragic death of Boston Police Officer John O'Peath, where investigations have
00:28:12intensified.
00:28:22More taillight pieces over here.
00:28:28Family friends and fellow officers gathered today at the St. Francis of Assisi Church in Braintree
00:28:34for the funeral of Boston Police Officer John O'Keefe.
00:28:37O'Keefe was pronounced dead Saturday in the early morning hours after being found in the snow outside a home
00:28:42in Canton.
00:28:43His brother Paul remembered John as someone who showed what determination could be.
00:28:48Moving forward, I will do my best to continue my brother's legacy of caring and supporting others,
00:28:54even though I know I can never come close to the way he did.
00:28:59Nor can I come close to expressing the admiration I have for John,
00:29:05who after our sister Christy died, took her two children into his home to raise as his.
00:29:13But I can repeat the same words that John used at Christy's funeral.
00:29:21We'll take it from here.
00:29:23John O'Keefe will be laid to rest at Blue Hill Cemetery in Braintree.
00:29:30David, hi.
00:29:32Hey, listen, I've got some bad news.
00:29:35Terrific.
00:29:35I talked to the DA, and they're not going for it.
00:29:38They won't let you voluntarily surrender.
00:29:41What?
00:29:43Why?
00:29:44Well, they're not telling me anything, but the Boston cop is dead.
00:29:48We knew there was a heightened sense of importance to it.
00:29:51They're playing their cards very close.
00:29:53So they're insisting on arresting me.
00:29:57David, how am I supposed to go to jail?
00:29:59I mean, I've got Crohn's, I've got MS, I've got all these meds I have to take.
00:30:03Okay, you can bring them with you.
00:30:07All right, when?
00:30:09Well, that's why I'm calling.

00:31:38Police have arrested a Mansfield woman in connection with the death of Boston Police Officer John O'Keefe,
00:31:44who was found in a snowbank on a Canton street over the weekend.
00:31:50Investigators allege that Reed struck O'Keefe with her black Lexus SUV
00:31:55and left him to die in the snow outside a Canton home in the frigid blizzard conditions.
00:32:02Manslaughter, motor vehicle homicide, and leaving the scene of a motor vehicle collision causing death.

00:32:08Yes.

00:35:05Are you coming?
00:35:15Hey.
00:35:17Well, thank God.
00:35:18You have to get me out of this cell.
00:35:20Well, they're going to be here in a minute
00:35:21to bring you over to your arraignment.
00:35:22Well, are they going to let me get cleaned up a bit?
00:35:25I mean, look at me.
00:35:27No one's going to care about that.
00:35:28Listen, I've been going through your arrest record, and there are a few things that we're
00:35:33going to need to address going forward.
00:35:34What are they saying?
00:35:35Well, first, your blood alcohol level that morning was 0.09.
00:35:40Yeah, I already know that.
00:35:42What else?
00:35:43Okay.
00:35:44Evidence.
00:35:45There were pieces of a broken taillight close to John's body, consistent with the broken
00:35:50taillight of your Lexus SUV.
00:35:52There were pieces of broken glass embedded in your bumper that they say came from a glass
00:35:57that John took from the waterfall.
00:35:59There were scratches, dents, and chipped paint all around that same back area of your car.
00:36:05Shit.
00:36:05Basically, they are saying that you drove to the Alberts' house, John got out, you backed
00:36:10up, slamming into him.
00:36:12After which you drove to his place where you fell asleep, leaving him, laying there overnight
00:36:18to freeze to death.
00:36:22He got out of the car.
00:36:25I watched him head over to the house.
00:36:28That was the last time I ever saw him.
00:36:30Then they have people on the scene that morning that swear that they heard you say,
00:36:36I hit him.
00:36:37I hit him.
00:36:38I hit him.
00:36:39David, I never said those words.
00:36:42Ever.
00:36:44There are people on the scene that morning that say you did.
00:36:59What the hell?
00:37:01Am I...
00:37:02Am I news now?
00:37:13How does the defendant plead?
00:37:15Not guilty, Your Honor.
00:37:19The court sets bail in the amount of $50,000 and reiterates Ms. Reith that you will order
00:37:25to stay away from the victim of residence and have no contact with her.
00:37:38Karen Reith, the girlfriend of John O'Keefe, was released on bail today, shortly after she
00:37:46appeared in court to face charges related to his death.
00:37:49She's pleaded not guilty to manslaughter, motor vehicular homicide, and leaving the scene
00:37:55of a collision causing death.
00:37:57The victim, Officer John O'Keefe, 46, was a 16-year veteran of the Boston Police Department.
00:38:04Karen Reith has denied all the allegations and maintains her innocence.
00:38:11There goes my health insurance.
00:38:13You know, I have surgery follow-ups.
00:38:16How am I supposed to pay for my meds if I don't have a job?
00:38:19We'll figure it out.
00:38:21You know you always say that.
00:38:23But how?
00:38:24How are we gonna figure it out?
00:38:27Look, you're not gonna be alone through this.
00:38:30I'm not at work anymore.
00:38:32I can be there for you through the whole thing.
00:38:35Yeah, but you love your job.
00:38:36Not more than I love you.
00:38:39No.
00:38:41I'm gonna be put in the poorhouse for something I didn't do, Dad.
00:38:46I mean, my God, I had to cash out my 401K.
00:38:50Probably gonna have to sell this house.
00:38:53Honey, you've got your mom.
00:38:55You've got me.
00:38:56We're totally behind you, and we're gonna help whatever it takes.
00:39:01But how?
00:39:04By doing whatever we need to do.
00:39:08This fight, it's not just you.
00:39:10It's us, too.
00:39:12And we're not gonna stop till we make this right.
00:39:19It just feels like this whole town is turning on me.
00:39:25They're telling the cops I said I hit them.
00:39:28Why?
00:39:29Why would I say that?
00:39:31I thought these people were supposed to be my friends.
00:39:33I didn't want to be my friends.
00:39:34Why would I say that?
00:39:48Why would I say that?
00:39:52Yeah.
00:39:59Never mind.
00:40:02I thought these people were supposed to be my friends.
00:40:03I'm supposed to be the yeah-
00:40:17what what now i have an arrest warrant again who am i supposed to have killed now same person

00:41:22turtle boy let's take a call hey steve from southie what's on your mind hey man you've been following
00:41:28this karen reed case sounds like something uh right up your alley yeah a woman who hit her cop
00:41:33boyfriend with her car yeah what's your take on that what sucks huh you know i mean you got this
00:41:37woman who's got it all together and um she just got drunk one night and appears to have not even
00:41:42known that she backed this guy over i'm sure she didn't mean to kill him and i'm sure it's eating
00:41:46her up inside well it seems like a story you should cover i mean uh it's sad yeah but i
00:41:52don't know
00:41:52if there's a story there you know i'm a back the blue guy so uh i don't really have a
00:41:56strong opinion
00:41:57on it it's a tragedy yeah it's a real tragedy for her she's not on bail now but they're charging
00:42:02with murder murder hold them a sec
00:42:39look at this proctor knows everybody he's the lead investigator on this case and i'm there
00:42:45scrolling through all these pictures and it's like he pretty much knows everybody who's in that house
00:42:49that night everyone well not everyone but isn't it kind of a conflict of interest
00:42:59john's a cop they're not gonna let this go and now it's my ass that's on the line
00:43:08we're gonna need a bigger team
00:43:39are they kidding these injuries are from a car hitting them that's their story i'm not buying
00:43:46it maybe someone just needed a scapegoat yeah well that's why i'm here i mean come on you mean
00:43:53to tell me they're not seeing what we're seeing exactly our question and did anybody else have
00:43:57their vehicle and cell phone taken from them i mean it's like i was the only suspect well you're
00:44:02the odd one out they're circling their wagons everybody and his mother putting only you on
00:44:08the chopping block this is intentional this slow drip of discovery from the prosecution it's
00:44:14well they're certainly taking their time it's been months they've got a game plan
00:44:19they're not a fishing expedition trying to fit the evidence to the narrative they already decided
00:44:23on you have a fundamental right to see the evidence against you and they're taking their
00:44:27sweet time about it they didn't waste any time taking my car or my phone did they let's just drill
00:44:33down on this for just 10 seconds in terms of the taillight material the glass the plastic john's
00:44:38shirt the jeans the belt the shoes the underwear the hat whatever well none of it was booked
00:44:42into evidence until march 14th 2022 so they just sat on it for a month and a half what the
00:44:49hell is
00:44:49that standard no no no we don't know whose possession they were in i mean where were the
00:44:54circumstances were they properly handled we have no guarantee they weren't compromised
00:44:58holy shit turtle riders this is story of the century stuff i mean my job is currently on the floor
00:45:05remember the headlines that a boston police officer was backed over by his girlfriend in a snowstorm after
00:45:09a fight on a night they were both drinking that was a narrative that was put out there but i
00:45:13have
00:45:13been getting more and more information on this and it's outrageous and what we know for damn sure is
00:45:18she did not run him over no karen reed is a completely innocent woman he is something else
00:45:25we couldn't get better pr if we were paying him it's because he's a 100 sincere the force to be
00:45:31wrecking with where to believe that karen was at least 62 feet away before she decided to gun it
00:45:37reverse and john just stood there right just waited to get run over is he dead carry john is he
00:45:46dead
00:45:46he's dead oh my god i didn't hear you say it at all if i was running around saying i
00:45:54hit him i hit him
00:45:55you'd think it would be picked up by the dash cam mics you'd also be arrested on the spot i
00:46:00mean we
00:46:00can clearly hear you say he's dead he's dead but not i hit him yeah you don't hear it because
00:46:06i never
00:46:06said it it's all an elaborate plot to frame karen reed now when i believe in something i don't just
00:46:12say
00:46:12oh here's the facts no i go out and i hold protests and i'm looking for other people to do
00:46:17the same
00:46:25well we always knew the key to this case was seeing people's phones you can ask all the
00:46:31questions you want but the hard data right is where you find the really critical stuff in the 21st
00:46:37century proctor's phone records are coming in very soon or i'm going to be breathing fire
00:46:42uh carrie roberts and jen mccabe's confirmed the timing of those calls you made to them that
00:46:48morning we have records of other investigators we have the 911 records
00:46:54well that can't be right did jen mccabe make a google search at 227 that morning
00:47:01how long to die in cold
00:47:05actually she typed in hos but but it's
00:47:09it's clear what she meant
00:47:23karen reed had nothing to do with it this is an innocent woman okay she is the victim of a
00:47:30conspiracy we won't rest until we get to the bottom of exactly who killed john o'keefe
00:47:34not only karen reed deserves this john o'keefe deserves this and has deserved this from moment
00:47:40one it feels like we're the only ones who are fighting for the truth of what happened to john
00:47:46o'keefe and me and my family and my attorneys we've marshaled every resource to get to the truth
00:47:56we know who spearheaded it you all know i tried to save his life at 6 a.m in the

00:49:28and leaving him lying there to die in a blizzard karen reed was framed her car never struck john o

01:01:36before the defendant moved onto the waterfall where she kept drinking
01:01:41and then she got behind the wheel
01:01:44and drove to 34 fairview with john o'keefe
01:02:06i don't think anybody would be paying attention when i said my favorite color was pink
01:02:16i'm handing you a document do you recognize it
01:02:20yes
01:02:21and what do you recognize it to be
01:02:25it's a text message thread labeled proctor's friends
01:02:29so these all came from me
01:02:31from all accounts he didn't do anything wrong
01:02:34she's a whack job
01:02:36see you
01:02:38objection
01:02:39so don't spell it
01:02:41you have to
01:02:42this is
01:02:43these are your words
01:02:45trooper proctor
01:02:46yes john
01:02:48so go ahead and say them
01:02:51she's a whack job
01:02:55she's a babe
01:02:57weird follower of accent though
01:02:59no s
01:02:59these are unprofessional comments
01:03:02but they absolutely do not detract from the integrity of the investigation
01:03:06or the facts and the evidence
01:03:08of it
01:03:09sir
01:03:11how did you refer to miss reed in your text exchange when you informed them that you were
01:03:15going through her phone
01:03:17i used regrettable language
01:03:19i said that i was going through his retarded client's phone
01:03:23and who were you referring to as retarded
01:03:26miss reed so the person that you were investigating you referred to to your bosses as retarded correct
01:03:31again poor language on my part
01:03:33poor language is one way to put it completely offensive is another way to put it
01:03:36then what did you write after you talked about going through her phone
01:03:42no nudes so far
01:03:43so you were looking for naked photographs of miss reed correct
01:03:47no not correct
01:03:48let me ask you a question
01:03:49have you ever looked for naked photographs of male suspects you were investigating
01:03:54i don't look for naked photos on anyone's phones
01:03:57well you you just said you were looking for nudes of miss reed
01:04:00like i said mr jackson it was an inappropriate joke
01:04:04so you weren't so much objectively investigating karen reed as objectifying correct
01:04:12before you even went into the house having interviewed only three folks
01:04:15you had this case nice and wrapped up didn't you
01:04:18yes
01:04:19based on the evidence uncovered by my office that day
01:04:22the one shoe discovered at the scene
01:04:25the one shoe at the hospital
01:04:26mr o'keefe's injuries
01:04:28the broken tailpiece underneath the snow
01:04:30no it's a true doctor
01:04:31i didn't ask for your explanation
01:04:33i asked
01:04:34did you in your mind have this case wrapped up
01:04:38was it cut and dry in your mind
01:04:40yes
01:04:41then you indicated we're going to put serious charges on the girl
01:04:44who were you referring to as the girl
01:04:47the defendant
01:04:48the way you were going to make it
01:04:50cut and dry right
01:04:51pretty simple just pin it on the girl
01:04:54absolutely not
01:04:55then what did you write
01:05:00she's screwed
01:05:01she's screwed
01:05:02you decided
01:05:04individually trooper proctor
01:05:06that you were not only going to put it on the girl
01:05:09you decided
01:05:10you were going to make sure this case was cut and dried
01:05:12and the way you were going to do it
01:05:14is to make sure she's screwed
01:05:16i mean that's what you were saying
01:05:17no no absolutely not
01:05:19you responded to a text message from your sister
01:05:22hopefully she kills herself
01:05:23correct
01:05:24except
01:05:25it was a figure of speech
01:05:26you believed
01:05:27trooper proctor
01:05:28that your life would be much easier
01:05:30if karen reed was just dead
01:05:32no no um
01:05:34like i said it was a figure of speech
01:05:35my emotions got the best of me
01:05:37based on you know
01:05:38the fact that ms reed
01:05:39hit mr o'keefe with her vehicle
01:05:41and left him to die
01:05:42on the side of the road
01:05:43so my emotions got the best of me
01:05:45with
01:05:45that figure of speech
01:05:47well let's talk about that figure of speech
01:05:50during the course of your investigation
01:05:52your figures of speech include the following
01:05:56she's a bitch
01:05:57a whack job

01:06:05correct
01:06:06correct
01:06:10do you agree
01:06:11trooper proctor
01:06:12that you have dehumanized karen reed
01:06:15during the course of your investigation
01:06:16with comments and words like this
01:06:19i would say that
01:06:22based off of that language
01:06:26um
01:06:28yes
01:06:29because you were going to make sure
01:06:30this case was cut and dry
01:06:32those were your words right

01:07:17an argument
01:07:18or points of contention
01:07:21he didn't like it if you know
01:07:23she spent a lot of money
01:07:24on the kids for gifts
01:07:26i know there was some arguments
01:07:28about what she fed him
01:07:29whether it was dunkin donuts
01:07:30or what have you
01:07:31things along those lines
01:07:33and what if any
01:07:34occasions
01:07:36as far as
01:07:37their arguments or anything like that

01:07:42i witnessed
01:07:44so they had rented a house
01:07:46down in cape cod
01:07:47i witnessed
01:07:48you know
01:07:49one intense fight
01:07:51between the two of them
01:07:52um it was a verbal argument
01:07:55you know
01:07:56typical couples fighting
01:07:57there was alcohol
01:07:59uh involved

01:08:06something to that effect
01:08:07i was
01:08:08kind of the
01:08:09referee in that
01:08:10entire situation
01:08:11when you make reference
01:08:13to the alcohol involved

01:08:16both
01:08:17so both your brother
01:08:19and the defendant
01:08:21correct
01:08:23do you think it's standard practice
01:08:24to borrow solo cups
01:08:26from a neighbor
01:08:26to gather evidence
01:08:27of course not
01:08:30nothing about this scene
01:08:31was standard
01:08:33so after 8 a.m
01:08:34the crime scene
01:08:35was completely open
01:08:36unsecured
01:08:37available to anybody
01:08:39correct
01:08:43uh
01:08:44so your expert testimony
01:08:46is that
01:08:47john o'keefe
01:08:47was hit by the suv
01:08:49and
01:08:49flew 30 feet
01:08:51would you define
01:08:52flying as being
01:08:53literally in the air
01:08:54the whole time
01:08:55i don't know
01:08:56you tell me
01:08:56you're the expert
01:08:57well
01:08:59he was
01:09:00when we say
01:09:01projected
01:09:02we mean
01:09:03he gets projected
01:09:04and then they
01:09:05they usually
01:09:06have a landing phase
01:09:07and
01:09:08then they land
01:09:09or they usually roll
01:09:10or tumble
01:09:11to final rest
01:09:14if
01:09:14struck by a vehicle
01:09:15going 24 miles per hour
01:09:16i'd expect to see
01:09:17fractures
01:09:18and
01:09:19deep contusions
01:09:20not just the abrasions
01:09:21found in the victim's arm
01:09:22red plastic
01:09:23found in the debris
01:09:24scraped from
01:09:25john o'keefe's clothing
01:09:26were a match
01:09:27to the defendant's
01:09:28damaged taillight
01:09:28the victim's injuries
01:09:30don't look remotely
01:09:31consistent
01:09:31with being struck
01:09:32by a vehicle
01:09:33we are here for justice
01:09:35for john o'keefe
01:09:36and justice
01:09:37for karen reed
01:09:38because there is no justice
01:09:40for john o'keefe
01:09:42without justice

01:20:22well justice is what we need
01:20:24and justice is not you walking out of that courtroom
01:20:27it's you not being charged anymore

01:21:03do you think she'll get an acquittal this go around
01:21:04no doubt in my mind karen reed is innocent

01:21:10there was no collision
01:21:13stare down injustice
01:21:16you are the last line of defense
01:21:18between an innocent woman
01:21:21and a system that tried mightily to bury the truth
01:21:25the commonwealth has to prove
01:21:27every charge beyond a reasonable doubt
01:21:30to an unshakable moral certainty
01:21:32no officer ever heard karen reed say
01:21:35i hit him
01:21:36it's not in a single police report
01:21:38nowhere
01:21:38the fact is
01:21:39there was no collision
01:21:41a car didn't kill
01:21:42john o'keefe
01:21:43and karen reed is an innocent woman
01:21:45find karen reed not guilty
01:21:47not guilty
01:21:50not guilty
01:21:54karen reed was drunk

01:22:15she left him to die
01:22:17simple as that
01:22:18john o'keefe was murdered by karen reed
01:22:23on day four of jury deliberations
01:22:26in the retrial of karen reed
01:22:28the mood here is of increasing concern
01:22:30that this trial
01:22:31may end up just like the last one
01:22:33with a mistrial
01:22:47hello
01:22:48hello
01:22:56all right i appreciate you all getting back here
01:23:01during the luncheon break
01:23:03i received word that the jury knocked on the door indicating that they had a verdict
01:23:07but shortly thereafter they knocked again
01:23:10and said that they do not have a verdict
01:23:14so i would ask everyone remain in the building
01:23:18until the end of the day
01:23:30we're close
01:23:30it's coming

01:25:11in a statement john o'keefe's family called the verdict a devastating miscarriage of justice
01:25:19you know i've been preparing for this for a long time both the worst and the best
