    Retired DEA Agent and Aidan Kearney aka Turtleboy join us as guests on this episode. Sean McDonough AKA Sean Onthegulf was born in Boston with Canton roots. He's a 1975 Canton High School graduate and also a retired Supervisory Agent with the DEA. His last DEA assignment was in Bogota, Colombia where he supervised all money laundering investigations for the DEA, which he says was one of his best assignments. He retired with the DEA after 28 years with previous assignments in Washington DC, Massachusetts, Texas, Peru, Florida, and Venezuela. Sean also worked for the US Capitol Police, in DC and with the Arlington County Police Department in Arlington, VA where he was assigned as a CSI Agent. McDonough has noted that with the John O'Keefe/Karen Read investigation, all the (law enforcement) protocols were flat-out ignored and deviated from. He posted a viral social media letter to Canton Police Chief Rafferty asking her 17 questions with his name and law enforcement bonafides. He's still waiting for a response. He firmly believes that Karen Read is innocent based on all the reports he's read and questions how the evidence was found, collected, and processed. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/theyoungjurks/support
