John O'Keefe was found during the early morning hours of January 29, 2022 in the snow, outside a Boston Police Officers's home. Police alleged that he was intentionally run over by his girlfriend. But his injuries and cell phone data suggest something much more sinister may have occurred. John's injuries are much more intense that one would suspect from a very low speed impact. He had several scratches and what appear to be bite marks on his extremities. Karen Read, John's girlfriend was arrested shortly after his death. Cell phone data seems to indicate that John had left the car and made it into the party, while Karen returned home. The party was hosted by another Boston cop and attended by at least one other law enforcement agent. The State Police allege that John was killed before entering the party, his cell phone data suggests he entered the home and even climbed stairs within the house. John was later found dead in the snow, the homeowner never even exited the home, when the police and ambulance arrived. The State Police never even entered the house or questioned the home owner. The trooper who investigated the incident, was close friends with witnesses and probable-possible suspects. One of the witnesses was found to have googled "how long to die in the snow?" During a time when she reportedly thought John was home in bed. The wheels are falling off this case!

Bella Bond age 2, living in a cornucopia of abuse, she soon washed up on Deer Island

REPLAY:Bella Bond age 2, living in a cornucopia of disfunction, she soon washed up on Deer Island
Boston Confidential Beantown's True Crime Podcast
06/06/21 • 27 min
Hello all, we are on vacation this week, please review Bella's story, its a replay from earlier in the year. We'll be back at it next week!
One of New England's most heart wrenching homicides. Bella's mother already had two children taken by child services due to severe abuse and neglect, how did the Commonwealth conclude that she was fit to care for another baby? Bella's mother was a lifelong hard core drug addict and petty criminal, her live in boyfriend was worse, if that is even possible.
A great article on the Bond tragedy by Beverly Beckham of the Boston Globe (linked below)
This is what haunts me. That Bella Bond's horrific murder was not a single act of violence, an aberration in an up-to-then perfect, storybook life. But that this little girl suffered every day.
Conceived in a drug-induced haze in an Occupy Boston tent, she never met her father. Prosecutors say she was murdered on a mattress on a cluttered floor, allegedly by her mother's boyfriend, stuffed in a trash bag, shoved in a refrigerator, thrown into a duffel bag with a couple of weights so she wouldn't float up, then tossed into the sea.
This is what we know about Bella Bond. And what we know is sickening.
But what we don't know may be even worse.

(Replay) 5 takeaways from the Karen Read Trial to date:Lemme tell ya a couple a three things (or so)
Boston Confidential Beantown's True Crime Podcast
06/03/24 • 57 min
Some new revelations and some old "gems". The newly revealed 2:22am phone conversations between Brian Albert and Brian Higgins occurred was revealed, what was the topic of conversation? Because no one knew that John O'Keefe was injured / dead.
The condition of the body. A six thousand pound SUV struck John going twenty-four miles an hour, yet there is no bruising, no broken bones. Does that make actual sense?
The taillights. Karen leaves John's house at 5:08am, she departed, striking John's vehicle as she does so. At that time you can see the light is mostly intact, if your eyes aren't lying, then how could the taillights already be on the lawn at Fairview at 12:30-1:00pm?

Update-Karen Read Nov 2024-It's been revealed that the elected DA, was using a burner account to direct JUDGES!
Boston Confidential Beantown's True Crime Podcast
11/25/24 • 33 min
How do citizens defend against a powerful DA, who uses a "burner"account to direct judges and court administrators? You can't. As Turtrleboy prepared for trial it was revealed that District Attorney Micheal Morrissey, had been using an email that was not subject to public records law. The Karen Read defense team has also filed a motion to investigate this burner account, it's unlikely that the email, voicing the DA's displeasure in Chris Albert being denied a harassment order, was the first usage of this secret email account.
The motion pertaining to Karen's double jeopardy, is now a month old, this decision will likely be returned in the next few weeks, will they conclude that the jury voted not guilty on murder? if so that makes the Commonwealth's decision for them...interesting

Sandra Birchmore-A tangled web of police initiated, grooming, statutory rape, and perhaps murder
Boston Confidential Beantown's True Crime Podcast
08/26/24 • 63 min
One of the saddest cases in recent memory. Sandra Birchmore joined the Stoughton, Mass police explorers program at 13-14. Sandra's family had been looking for a positive male role model, for thirteen year old Sandra. She had a difficult home life and the family thought they had found, that role model, with the leader of the explorers program. Sgt. William Devine had been tasked with making the program work for local kids. Reportedly, the explorers went off the rails quickly. Sandra developed an infatuation with first responders. Before long it appeared grooming type activities allegedly began. She'd be found dead in her apartment in 2021.
Three police officials have been the recent focus of a variety of investigations, by the FBI, the Massachusetts Attorney General's office and the Mass state police. No charges have been filed to date, however a civil suit may bring new light to this case. Officer Matthew Farwell, his twin brother Officer William Farwell and Deputy Chief Robert Devine are accused of inappropriate sexual contact, including statutory rape of Sandra Birchmore.
Sandra was admittedly raped, as she was too young to consent to sex, during an affair with a married cop, for whom she provided child care. She was apparently pregnant with Officer Matt Farwell's baby. He was the last person to see Sandra alive, before he went to deliver his baby with his wife, at a nearby hospital. His brother had also had an affair with Sandra, when she was young. Deputy Chief Devine is also credibly, accused of having a physical affair with Sandra. This story is completely rancid.
