Can we just take a moment to acknowledge how heartbreaking this is for his niece and nephew. Not only did they lose both parents, now their uncle, who was their legal guardian 😢

I was Karen Read's hairdresser for several years. I can not believe that she is capable of hurting anyone. She's a sweet, kind, thoughtful, and generous woman. I am shocked to find out she's going through this. Karen, I'm praying for you! Maureen ❤

Those poor kids lost their mother and father and then lost another caregiver, their uncle. So much trauma at such a young age 😢

Nice to know the feds are investigating this whole case. That speaks volumes.

Imagine finding your boyfriend on the lawn of another Boston Policeman’s and no one from inside the home comes outside to see what’s going on. No one leaving that party hours earlier noticed him either, over 6 foot tall man on top of maybe an inch or two of snow at that point.

[Fido-vmzi]

The local prosecutor in this case sounds more like a defense attorney for other parties involved that night. Totally inappropriate.

“Tell them that guy never came inside the house”

There's no way these injuries were caused by being struck by a car in a snowy driveway. She wouldn't have been able to get enough speed

There is no way in hell those injuries came from a car. That man was beaten and thrown into the snow.

[chipdiamond]

She was 100% intoxicated and definitely shouldn't have been driving but she didn't kill him...

[GrizzlyUrsusArctos]

The fact that she maybe hit him then left him there to die then came back hours later is the nail to me

9 drinks at 98 lbs. She was drunk as a skunk.

[ByronHanes]

The woman that got up early to "help Karen find John" (a family member of those involved that was in the house) submitted a google search to find out how long it takes for a human to die in the cold several hours BEFORE John was found dying in the cold. She also informed a friend about John's death prior to her "helping" Karen find John's body...

I feel so bad for the O’Keefe family. The poor kids lost their parents and than their uncle. The parents lost their daughter and than their son. That is just horrible.
The truth is coming out. Hopefully, the O’Keefe family can get justice.

Question: So this house was a cop’s house. Not just any cop. A local hero. No security cameras? I mean his job was to bust drug gang members. No security cameras on his house?

[brendaredmond]

My son was killed by a drunk driver. Since when did we start supporting and cheering for people who delibrately get behind the wheel of a car, drunk off their ass, without a care in the world. So drunk she didn't know what the hell she'd done. If she is going to lie about how many drinks she had... what else is she lying about. Drunks always lie about how much they have had to drink. God! It just makes me so mad! I miss my son. 💔

Look at autopsy photos before making a judgement. Tells entire story. Also, left out the fact Albert’s and protors are close family friends

[LDNLaura]

Lots missed. Autopsy photos showing it couldn't have happened by her car, the car in police custody with hardly a scratch on it and Jen McCabe googling "Hos long to die in cold" 4 hours before John's body was found

Good job Karen #FreeKarenRead

How is evidence of a crime on a front lawn with no motive or murder weapon NOT probable cause to search the residence? This is before Karen was even believed to be a suspect. How is a dead body on a front lawn not probable cause to search the residence?
At 9am, the crime scene was still an open and active investigation - but the house wasn't searched? What? Why? How?

[DMiller]

No way those injuries were caused by Karen's car!!!
