Watch the full coverage of the live stream on The Emily D Baker YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/live/P_Lo2vXvHyMDay 17 of the Karen Read Retrial happened on May 16, 2025. The court addressed juror conduct issues, with a jurors making facial expressions and muttering. A stipulation was read regarding State Police troopers present at the autopsy, specifically noting Troopers Keefe and Watson were present, not Former Trooper Michael Proctor.Andre Porto, the Forensic Scientist, testimony revolved around DNA evidence found on a piece of glass and the tail light, with John O'Keefe's DNA and DNA from two unknown individuals being present. The defense strategy focused on questioning the thoroughness of the investigation and emphasizing that unknown DNA samples were not tested against other individuals of interest like Brian Higgins. Legal arguments arose regarding the chain of custody of evidence and delays in its submission. The judge ruled on objections and addressed issues related to rebuttal witnesses and ARCA expert testimony. There were discussions about new information and reports from experts causing potential time shifts and debates over whether this information was truly new or if it was previously disclosed.The day ended with testimony from Ash Vallier, a Forensic Scientist who pieced together the tail light, with discussions about which pieces fit and which did not. Some items from evidence bags were not fitting together mechanically and other items from different bags were fitting together. Defense Attorney, David Yannetti, crossed Vallier, highlighting potential issues with the chain of custody and who had access to evidence, particularly with Trooper Proctor. Trooper Michael Proctor was identified as submitting clothing evidence to the lab six weeks after the incident and the person who brought in the all of the pieces in the dash 7 series that fit together. Judge Cannone addressed concerns about new expert reports from Aperture, ruling that they were not grounds for undue surprise or prejudice but were ample ground for cross-examination by the defense. The Judge also addressed the ARCCA expert issue, allowing limited rebuttal testimony of Aperture only as to the new opinions by ARCCA from their May 7th report. The Judge stated the defense could recall witnesses under certain circumstances and addressed the long weekend break, stating it would give the defense the time they had requested.

Sgt. Yuri Bukhenik  – Cross-Examination & Redirect: Investigative Scrutiny Intensifies Part 2 In this pivotal segment from Day 14 of the Karen Read retrial (May 12, 2025), Massachusetts State Police Sgt. Yuri Bukhenik returns to the stand for continued cross-examination by defense attorney Alan Jackson, followed by redirect examination by special prosecutor Hank Brennan. Key Highlights: Surveillance Footage Analysis: The defense challenges the integrity of sallyport surveillance footage, pointing out that the video was mirrored, potentially obscuring actions related to the SUV's taillight. Sgt. Bukhenik acknowledges the inversion but maintains that the footage accurately represents the events.  Text Message Controversy: Bukhenik faces intense questioning regarding inappropriate text messages sent by former Trooper Michael Proctor, including derogatory remarks about Karen Read. The defense scrutinizes Bukhenik's supervision and response to these messages. Brian Higgins' Involvement: The defense explores the nature of the relationship between Karen Read and ATF agent Brian Higgins, examining flirtatious text exchanges and suggesting potential motives rooted in jealousy. Bukhenik testifies that he found no evidence indicating animosity between Higgins and John O'Keefe. Evidence Handling and Timeline Discrepancies: Questions arise about the timing and documentation of evidence collection, including the seizure of Read's SUV and the discovery of taillight fragments. The defense highlights inconsistencies in reports and timestamps.  Redirect Examination: Prosecutor Hank Brennan seeks to reinforce the integrity of the investigation, addressing the defense's claims and emphasizing the procedures followed during evidence collection and analysis.

Karen Read Trial Day 14 Breakdown & The 6 MAJOR Moments As Sgt. Bukhenik Testifies In this deep-dive episode of Hidden Killers, Tony breaks down the courtroom fireworks from May 12, 2025, when Massachusetts State Police Sgt. Yuri Bukhenik took the stand in the Karen Read trial. While earlier testimony raised serious questions about investigator bias, this chapter of the trial was about evidence—cold, hard, and forensic. The prosecution worked to reestablish control with redirect testimony, where Bukhenik stated firmly that Karen Read's Lexus was towed directly to the Canton Police garage—disputing the defense's implication that evidence was tampered with en route. We examine the newly introduced surveillance footage from inside the garage, the timeline of the SUV's arrival, and the mirrored security camera feed that had briefly caused confusion. Tony unpacks what was found at the crime scene: John O'Keefe's sneaker, his phone under his body, a broken cocktail glass—and what those pieces suggest about what happened on the snowy lawn outside 34 Fairview Road. Sgt. Bukhenik explained why he believed the injuries pointed to a vehicle impact, not a fight. Plus, the state introduced video showing the Lexus' taillight already broken before police had custody of the car. But the defense didn't sit quietly. They showed surveillance footage of Brian Higgins at the Canton station at 1:28AM—despite his earlier denial of late-night activity. He's seen walking, on the phone, moving between vehicles, carrying what looked like a shovel. Why was that important? It contradicted previous claims and raised new timeline questions. This episode lays it all out—no speculation, just facts. We take you frame-by-frame through a day of testimony that could reshape the outcome of this entire case. #KarenReadTrial #JohnOKeefe #BrianHiggins #ForensicEvidence #HiddenKillers #YuriBukhenik #TrueCrimeCommunity #JusticeForJohn #CourtroomDrama #CantonGarageVideo    Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?  Check out our YouTube Channel. https://www.youtube.com/@hiddenkillerspod Instagram https://www.instagram.com/hiddenkillerspod/ Facebook https://www.facebook.com/hiddenkillerspod/ Tik-Tok https://www.tiktok.com/@hiddenkillerspod X Twitter https://x.com/tonybpod Listen Ad-Free On Apple Podcasts Here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/true-crime-today-premium-plus-ad-free-advance-episode/id1705422872

20 Texts That Could Destroy Karen Read's Defense | Full Breakdown In the Karen Read trial, one of the most disturbing pieces of evidence comes not from blood or broken glass—but from her own fingertips. Newly revealed text messages between Karen Read and ATF agent Brian Higgins expose a web of flirtation, deception, and full-blown narcissistic manipulation. In these texts, Read falsely claims that her boyfriend, Boston Police Officer John O'Keefe, cheated on her during a New Year's vacation. The truth? He was talking to a friend of his niece—no romantic involvement, no betrayal. But Read took that innocent moment and twisted it into a full-blown accusation. Why? Because she wanted to justify her own attempt to hook up with Higgins. This video breaks down the full timeline of messages presented in court. From casual vacation banter to the chilling “John died” text sent just hours after O'Keefe's body was found, we dive deep into every message—and what it reveals about Read's mental state.

20 Texts That Could Destroy Karen Read's Defense | Full Breakdown In the Karen Read trial, one of the most disturbing pieces of evidence comes not from blood or broken glass—but from her own fingertips. Newly revealed text messages between Karen Read and ATF agent Brian Higgins expose a web of flirtation, deception, and full-blown narcissistic manipulation. In these texts, Read falsely claims that her boyfriend, Boston Police Officer John O'Keefe, cheated on her during a New Year's vacation. The truth? He was talking to a friend of his niece—no romantic involvement, no betrayal. But Read took that innocent moment and twisted it into a full-blown accusation. Why? Because she wanted to justify her own attempt to hook up with Higgins. This video breaks down the full timeline of messages presented in court. From casual vacation banter to the chilling “John died” text sent just hours after O'Keefe's body was found, we dive deep into every message—and what it reveals about Read's mental state. This is more than a salacious side plot. This may be the key to understanding motive, intent, and Karen's psychological profile as the prosecution paints her as someone capable of cruel deception to preserve her own image. Watch as we dissect these messages line by line and explore how narcissists rewrite reality, weaponize sympathy, and paint themselves as victims—all while leaving destruction in their path. #KarenRead #TrueCrime #Gaslighting #JohnOKeefe #NarcissisticAbuse #BrianHiggins #MurderTrial #KarenReadTrial #ManipulationTactics #HiddenKillers Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

On Day 13 of Karen Read's retrial, Massachusetts State Police Sgt. Yuri Bukhenik resumed his testimony, facing rigorous cross-examination by defense attorney Alan Jackson. Bukhenik, who supervised the investigation into the death of Boston police officer John O'Keefe, was questioned about the conduct of former Trooper Michael Proctor, who was dismissed for sending derogatory texts about Read during the investigation. Jackson challenged Bukhenik on his oversight responsibilities, highlighting that Bukhenik had not reprimanded Proctor at the time. Bukhenik defended the investigation's integrity, asserting that all evidence pointed in one direction, but acknowledged that failure to supervise could lead to investigative errors.The court also delved into the nature of Read's relationship with ATF agent Brian Higgins. Sgt. Bukhenik read aloud flirtatious text messages exchanged between Read and Higgins, which the defense presented to suggest a motive for a potential third-party culprit. The prosecution, however, argued that these messages indicated a strained relationship between Read and O'Keefe, supporting their theory that Read acted out of jealousy. Additionally, the defense questioned the timeline and discovery of taillight fragments from Read's SUV, suggesting they were found only after the vehicle was impounded and snow had melted, casting doubt on the thoroughness of the initial investigation.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:The complete texts between Karen Read and Brian Higgins

Oh my bird! Karen Read has been caught on camera giving the middle finger to Sgt. Yuri Bukhenik as he testified most notably when her own defense lawyer, Alan Jackson had “Ironman” Bukhenik read out the flirtatious text message between Read and JohnO'Keefe friend and fellow officer Brian Higgins. Will Judge Cannone ever get control over her courtroom? Also, new testimony about another missing piece of footage from John O'Keefe's ring camera.

Read's attorney questioned Bukhenik about "flirtatious" text exchanges between Read and Brian Higgins, an agent with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, who was present at a restaurant where the couple drank the night before O’Keefe's demise and at the location where O’Keefe was later found in the snow.

Watch the full coverage of the live stream on The Emily D Baker YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/live/Fpf2EGgVDzgDay 13 of the Karen Read Retrial happened on May 9, 2025. Sgt. Yuri Bukhenik is back on the stand with Cross Examination and Defense Attorney Alan Jackson keeps cornering him about Proctor's true involvements. At one point he says that he gave evidence bag to someone but didn't know who. A significant portion of the day involved reading text messages between Brian Higgins and Karen Read into evidence. These texts were described as potentially "flirtatious" and revealed details about Karen's relationship with John O'Keefe, her feelings about children, and the presence of ring cameras at O'Keefe's house. The defense aimed to highlight these texts to suggest the investigation should have looked more closely at Higgins. Trooper Bukhenik was assigned to find the location of the Albert's dog, Chole, who was shortly rehomed after John O'Keefe's death. Chloe is supposed now named Cora but we are not sure if that is the same dog because they were rehomed twice after the Albert's. There were not transfer records, rehoming records, purchase records and the validity of the veterinary records are questioned because the dog's name and current owner were not on the document.Alan Jackson asked if he was aware that there were more than 20 official police reports were not recorded for more than 100 days from the time of the event in question? There were 11 reports that were more than 300 days from the time of the event? Three reports were more than 400 days from the time of the event? Four reports were more than 500 days from the time of the event? The longest delay of any report in this investigation was 581 days? Bukhenik acknowledged that he was not aware of the exact dates and delays. He tried to explain that in a perfect world, reports would be written as events happen but implied there were reasons for the delays.It was revealed during the cross-examination of Sergeant Yuri Bukhenik that there were significant delays in interviewing witnesses from Ricky D'Antuono's truck. While Ryan Nagle, who was also in the truck, was interviewed in February 2022, Ricky D'Antuono, who drove the truck, were not interviewed until September 2023. This is approximately a year and a half later!The defense appears to be anticipating that the Commonwealth will not call certain witnesses (Brian Albert, Brian Higgins, Ricky D'Antuono, and potentially Trooper Proctor), and they are trying to introduce their desired information through Sergeant Bukhenik's testimony. Cross Examination continues on Monday.RESOURCESWhat You Need to Know About the Retrial - https://youtu.be/89Jpa8vz1RQ Karen Read Retrial Playlist - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsbUyvZas7gKOJlfL__9F027hlETVU-vo Karen Read Trial - 2024 - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsbUyvZas7gKUeCUzApgsEuQRXu5IXeTSThis podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Spotify Ad Analytics - https://www.spotify.com/us/legal/ad-analytics-privacy-policy/Podscribe - https://podscribe.com/privacy

Yuri Bukhenik - Mass State Police is still on cross examination. Mr Jackson starts questioning the integrity of the searches done at 34 Fairview that produced broken tail light pieces. It was never specified exactly where each piece was found. He also points out large pieces were missed when the witness last visited on Feb 10th, but Trooper Proctor found one the very next day and more later. He also questions who wrote the details on the evidence bags Before lunch the defense has the witness read through flirty texts between Karen and Brian Higgins. Towards the end of the day, they revisit the Waterfall surveillance and end the day questioning the witness about Chloe and her rehoming. Donate: (Thank you for your support!

What Surprises Could Be In Store At Karen Read's Re-Trial, Attorney Eric Faddis Gives The Preview What happens when a murder trial starts to look more like a Netflix drama than a courtroom proceeding? Welcome to the Karen Read case—where dogs are suspects, mystery men emerge from the shadows, and legal arguments sound like rejected Law & Order scripts. With former prosecutor Eric Faddis at the table, Tony Brueski dives into the latest twists of the alleged hit-and-run retrial. The judge is letting the defense point fingers at Brian Albert and Brian Higgins again, but only after a dramatic narrowing of who they can actually blame. The infamous third-party theory still lives, even if it's being propped up by little more than a shadowy “guy in the night” and a dog named Chloe with questionable bite marks. Is this a strategic push to confuse the jury just enough to squeeze out another mistrial? Or is the defense throwing spaghetti at the wall and hoping something sticks? Either way, it's not just a trial—it's a full-blown credibility war. Why does this case feel less like justice and more like improv night at a true crime convention? #KarenRead #TrueCrimeToday #HiddenKillers #TonyBrueski #EricFaddis #CourtroomDrama #MurderMystery Want to listen to ALL our podcasts AD-FREE?

Will The Jury Believe Karen Read's Conspiracy Claims In Her Second Trial, Attorney Eric Faddis Gives Insight Did a dog, a disgraced cop, and a shadowy man from the night all somehow collide to create the perfect storm in the Karen Read case—or is this just a courtroom fever dream on steroids? As jury selection looms for Karen Read's retrial, the legal circus is in full swing. Former felony prosecutor Eric Faddis joins Tony Brueski to dissect a case that's less about facts and more about wild theories and eyebrow-raising legal maneuvers. The judge has thrown some curveballs: third-party culprits are back on the table—but only some of them—and the defense is stuck playing legal Twister trying to connect Brian Albert, Brian Higgins, a mysterious night-walker, and an alleged dog attack into one coherent story. Spoiler alert: it's not coherent. Meanwhile, an investigator who's been fired is still being called to testify, and the defense seems to be playing the old “throw everything at the wall” game, hoping something—anything—sticks. But is confusion a strategy, or just chaos dressed in a suit? Is the defense actually building reasonable doubt, or just burning time until they can hope for another mistrial? #KarenRead #TrueCrimeToday #HiddenKillersPodcast #JohnOKeefe #EricFaddis #LegalDrama #CourtroomCircus Want to listen to ALL our podcasts AD-FREE?

Send us a textIt begins! The retrial of Karen Read is underway, approximately 9-10 jurors have been seated so far. A full jury is likely to be seated this week. Judge Bev denied the defense motion for a police policy and procedure expert Mike Easter. The judge says that normal police procedure is within the common knowledge of laypersons? The third party culprit defense has been winnowed down to two potential culprits. Brian Albert and Brian Higgins. Colin Albert can no longer be considered with this dynamic duo. Judge Bev seemingly believed testimony that Colin left Fairview, prior to John's arrival.

Michael Proctor-The Investigator on Trial Former Massachusetts State Trooper Michael Proctor is out of a job—and headed back to court. Not as a defendant, but as a witness. Again. It's been less than a month since Proctor was fired for misconduct tied directly to the Karen Read investigation, and now his name is back in the headlines, sitting squarely on the witness list for Read's second murder trial. You know, the one where she's accused of killing her Boston Police Officer boyfriend, John O'Keefe. Now, if you remember the first trial—and the jurors certainly do—Proctor didn't exactly win hearts or instill trust when he took the stand. Jurors were seen literally shaking their heads during his testimony. And that wasn't because of some complicated forensic data or technical jargon. No, it was the texts. Texts where he called the defendant a “wack job,” a “babe with no a--,” and, just to round things out, a “c---.” If that wasn't enough, he added that he hoped she'd kill herself. This wasn't locker room talk caught off-hand—it was in writing, and it was read aloud in court. Then there was the part where he joked about finding nude selfies while combing through her phone. This is the guy who was in charge of the investigation. The lead. The point man. That display helped sink the prosecution's momentum and, according to legal analysts, played no small role in the trial ending in a mistrial. That mistrial reset everything. And now, here we are again—same case, new trial, with Proctor's career already in the rearview mirror, but his actions still very much in play. Despite the messages and his dismissal from the State Police, Proctor's camp hasn't wavered. His wife and sister, who—surprise—are also on the witness list, say the messages didn't compromise the investigation. His wife, Elizabeth Proctor, told reporters that this is all just courtroom misdirection. In her words: “At the end of the day, a beloved police officer and honorable man was killed.” Her take? The prosecution has the facts, and the defense is simply turning the spotlight on her husband to muddy the waters. Texts to friends and family on his personal phone, she says, aren't enough to derail a murder case. But they already did. Let's not forget, those same texts sparked an internal investigation and got Proctor canned. That fallout, in the eyes of many, tainted the trial beyond repair. And when your lead investigator's credibility is in the gutter, so is your case's foundation. And speaking of shaky foundations—Aidan Kearney, a local blogger who was charged with harassing and intimidating witnesses during the first trial, is also on the witness list. He's not alone. There's Brian Higgins, the ATF agent reportedly inside the same house where O'Keefe ended up dead outside. The homeowner, Brian Albert, and his family? Also on the list. And then there's Dr. Daniel Wolfe, an accident reconstruction expert, lined up to re-analyze the physical evidence. Basically, if you had anything to do with the first trial—whether you were inside the house, near the driveway, or scrolling Twitter too loudly—you're probably on this witness list. One name that won't be testifying this time? Michael Easter. He's a retired FBI agent who was expected to dismantle the original investigation piece by piece. But on Monday, Judge Beverly Cannone granted the prosecution's motion to block his testimony. His expert breakdown of how the police allegedly fumbled the case? Not coming to a courtroom near you. So, here's where we land. The person who was supposed to bring clarity and leadership to this investigation—Michael Proctor—ended up bringing chaos and controversy. And now, in round two, he's back under oath, minus the badge, with a reputation already in flames. #KarenReadTrial #MichaelProctor #TrueCrime #JusticeOrJustDrama Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Former Massachusetts State Trooper Michael Proctor is out of a job—and headed back to court. Not as a defendant, but as a witness. Again. It's been less than a month since Proctor was fired for misconduct tied directly to the Karen Read investigation, and now his name is back in the headlines, sitting squarely on the witness list for Read's second murder trial. You know, the one where she's accused of killing her Boston Police Officer boyfriend, John O'Keefe. Now, if you remember the first trial—and the jurors certainly do—Proctor didn't exactly win hearts or instill trust when he took the stand. Jurors were seen literally shaking their heads during his testimony. And that wasn't because of some complicated forensic data or technical jargon. No, it was the texts. Texts where he called the defendant a “wack job,” a “babe with no a--,” and, just to round things out, a “c---.” If that wasn't enough, he added that he hoped she'd kill herself.

Judge Cannone denied Karen Read's motion to bring in an expert on police procedure to support their "Bowden Defense" (claiming law enforcement didn't properly investigate). The judge stated she hadn't seen this type of expert used in Massachusetts cases. The defense can still use the Bowden Defense, but through questioning witnesses.The court denied the defense's motion regarding a third-party culprit defense for Colin Albert but allowed it for Brian Albert and Brian Higgins. The judge expressed strong reservations about the Third-Party Culprit Defense, requiring more than "mere or rank speculation." I breakdown the threshold of evidence needed.Watch the full coverage of the live stream on The Emily D Baker YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/live/An_t-g5WueoThis podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Spotify Ad Analytics - https://www.spotify.com/us/legal/ad-analytics-privacy-policy/Podscribe - https://podscribe.com/privacy

​Brian Albert, a former Boston Police officer and owner of the Canton home where Officer John O'Keefe was found deceased, testified in the Karen Read murder trial. He recounted that on the night of January 28, 2022, he, along with Read, O'Keefe, and others, were at the Waterfall Bar & Grille in Canton. Albert stated that after leaving the bar, several individuals returned to his residence at 34 Fairview Road for an informal gathering. He testified that neither O'Keefe nor Read entered his home that night and that he was unaware of their presence outside his residence. Albert also mentioned that he did not hear any disturbances or notice any unusual activity during the early morning hours.During cross-examination, Albert faced questions regarding the timing of his cellphone upgrade, which occurred around September 22, 2022—just before he was informed of a preservation order for his phone data. He explained that his previous phone was malfunctioning, prompting the upgrade. Additionally, Albert addressed an inadvertent call made to fellow witness Brian Higgins early on January 29, 2022, attributing it to accidental dialing. The defense scrutinized these points, suggesting potential issues with evidence preservation and communication between witnesses.​In the Karen Read murder trial, defense attorney David Yannetti accused Canton firefighter and paramedic Katie McLaughlin of perjury during her testimony. McLaughlin had described her relationship with Caitlin Albert, daughter of Brian and Nicole Albert—whose home was central to the case—as distant, stating they were merely high school acquaintances who hadn't discussed the case. However, Yannetti presented new evidence, including photographs from a June 2021 baby shower, suggesting a closer relationship between McLaughlin and Albert than previously indicated. Yannetti asserted, "It's very clear to us that Katie McLaughlin perjured herself," highlighting the significance of these social connections to the defense's argument that Read was being framed to protect others involved in the incident.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

​In the trial of Karen Read, ATF Special Agent Brian Higgins testified about his interactions with both Read and her boyfriend, Boston Police Officer John O'Keefe, prior to O'Keefe's death. Higgins recounted that he had known O'Keefe for about a year and considered both him and Read as friends. He detailed a series of flirtatious text messages exchanged with Read in January 2022, initiated by her, which included messages where Read complimented Higgins's appearance and invited him to her house. Higgins also testified that during a visit to O'Keefe's home to watch a Patriots game, Read "planted a kiss" on him, describing it as "lip to lip." These interactions were presented to suggest potential tensions in Read and O'Keefe's relationship.During cross-examination, the defense questioned Higgins about his actions following O'Keefe's death, particularly focusing on his disposal of his personal cellphone. Higgins admitted to discarding his phone at a military base after discovering that his personal number had been exposed online, which he claimed was unrelated to the case. The defense suggested that this action could indicate an attempt to eliminate potentially incriminating evidence. Additionally, Higgins testified about his movements on the night of O'Keefe's death, stating that after leaving a gathering at Brian Albert's home, he went to the Canton Police Department to move vehicles for snow plowing, then returned home. He maintained that he did not see O'Keefe or Read at the gathering and was surprised to learn of O'Keefe's death the following morning.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com
