Prime Crime: Boston Cop Found Dead Outside Sergeant’s Home After Night of Partying

Boston police officer John O’Keefe spent a cold Winter night out having a good time at bars with his girlfriend, Karen Read, and fellow cops in January 2022. Shortly after midnight, a sergeant invited O’Keefe and Read back to his Canton home with the rest of the group for an after-party. Read said she dropped O’Keefe off and went home. The next morning, a concerned Read began searching for her boyfriend after he never came home and found him unresponsive, lying in the snow near the sergeant’s home. O’Keefe was later pronounced dead from blunt force trauma and hypothermia. Find out what happened to John O’Keefe on this episode of “Prime Crime with Jesse Weber.”

5:27 How did karen read know where to look for john ? Jen Mccabe testimony : While Jen was driving kerry and karen back to the alberts house after looking for john at johns house. Jen mccabe told kerry and Karen to look for the trees which will show up at the start of the alberts house. Jen testified the reason why she told kerry and karren to "look for the trees it was so that kerry and karen would know how far they are to the alberts house as jen was driving closer to the house" Those trees that jen mccabe was reffering to are the trees on the left side of fair view house right near the flag pole where johns body was. So karen and kerry were looking out the window , looking for the trees , where jen knew john body was , pointed and hinted to look at the trees , so karen would find john quickly.

The angry phone messages she left him make me think she's not guilty. Whenever someone that's guilty starts leaving "concerned" voicemails on the victim's phone after they've committed the crime, they're pretty much always nice and jokey and then later worried in tone because they know cops will hear them. They feel acted/fake. Jodi Arias, for example. This woman just seemed upset and didn't seem like she was putting on a show for police.

[@Charmcity199]

She’s not guilty and I dare anyone in the DAs office to share some of the voicemails and texts they themselves have received from a significant other when upset. Because I guarantee there are some.

I truly believe he was planted their even with the amount of blood on the snow it's too little. He was killed and planted their left to die. The defense has no strong evidence or alibi Karen didn't do it. How do we know the dog didn't try to help him or drag him to safety and that's why he got puncture wounds?

If you’re going to make a video at least post the facts. The tail light pieces were not found till after Proctor had the car. When Jon was found NO pieces were found not a single piece.

[@stevenprice6957]

That’s because they are covered in snow. It’s easy to go back. We have vision of Karen at 5;07am. Her car taillight is busted. Huge hole. Zoom it. So what you say after this is irrelevant. The damage was done.

[@ayannatorres257]

This case hits so different being born & raised, partying, working, etc in the Boston area. Makes me so sad. But I still don’t believe Karen Reed is guilty I SWEAR I even server her several times back at my bar in Norwood I live and work in Foxboro now, if I’m not mistaken & she’s the woman who use to come into my bar, she was such a kind person. This forever breaks my heart

@@bumblingbe I’m not going into the conspiracy theory. The FBI upon a lengthy investigation (even calling on a Federal Grand Jury, found no evidence of any “alleged” third-party culprit, frame job and conspiracy, I therefore trust those findings of the FBI.

If she hit him at 12.30 and he wasn't found until 6am he was left out in the snow for 5.5 hours. There's no way he was out there for that long!!

[@E3kTheCat]

She hit him at 12:30pm, his body was found at 6am next day, that's 17.5 hours according to the prosecution. And somehow no one driving by or leaving the party saw a body splayed out on the lawn for that long.

There is so much wrong with this case as well as the investigation. Something that has bothered me is that the Alberts never went outside that morning. There's a dead man in your front yard and you don't go outside to see what is going on? Especially because it's not just some random man out there, it's someone you know. No curiousity? I'm nosy AF. But if it's someone you know, aren't you going to show some concern?

[@VivRich-zp7lm]

Going out and getting liquored up and then getting behind the wheel of a vehicle is never smart. Cops should know better. We all know they get protected from the law.

As an impartial observer, I think Jenn McCabe played a crucial part in this crime. The Google search hours before the body is discovered implies knowledge of his location.

Experts never agrees on anything because the money comes from opposing sides.Clearly the defence will not hire an expert that agrees with the prosecution point of view.

I would be infuriated if i was on Karen's situation, the cops at the afterparty framed her. Its so obvious john died in the basement of the macalbert. They rehomed their dog they had for many years when they found out there's bite mark on John's arm, re did the basement floor and sold the house. The attorney said "i hit him, i hit him" when the truth is somebody told her she hit him and then questioned it with a surprised tone karen ask "i hit him? I hit him?". They twisted her words to make her look guilty.

Great recap of KR case, but there was even more to this with theories of the nephew, know to be a punk and had issues with TO, is the one who “allegedly” fought Okeefe in the basement and the dog probably attacked at that point. The flooring and carpet were supposedly removed from basement, the dog rehoused, and house sold all within months.
