Contact the showEpisode 63 is a walk through the frenzy that is called "The Canton Cover-up" by some, others see it as a national spectacle. Canton, the small town 15 miles south of the city of Boston, is no stranger to tragedy. Three and a half decades ago, sweet, trusting 14-year-old Shawn Ouillette was lured into the woods, beaten, and left for dead. His 14-year-old schoolmate and eventual killer said no one would miss him. He wanted to know what it was like. To kill. That was 1986. Shawn is still missed by all who love him. His killer, Rod Matthews, remains in prison. Fast forward to present day. The events surrounding John O'Keefe's death have split this same small town in two. The case of a 46-year-old surrogate father to his sister's orphaned kids and 16-year veteran of the Boston Police Department is a shit show to no fault of his own. Lost, as is always the case, is the victim themselves. John O'Keefe was so beloved that a GoFundMe fundraising page set up for his niece and nephew after he died, had raised more than $245,000 within its first 24 hours. Karen Read, 44, who was John O'Keefe's longtime girlfriend, was arrested within days of his death and charged with drunkenly backing into him in her SUV in a snowstorm and leaving him to bleed out and freeze to death. Read has amassed a group of supporters in what some locals refer to as a "frame job" against her by a bunch of dirty townie cops, staties, FBI agents, and DAs. The cases I refer to in this episode include: Jeffrey Curley, Cambridge, Mass, he was 10 when he was taken by a neighbor with the promise of a bike, abused and killed in 1997, his murderers were put away by then-prosecutor, David Yannetti, who is now defending Read.Beth Brodie, Groveland, Mass, 1992, she was 15 when a boy who demanded her affection planned an attack with a bat and killed her in a neighbor's bedroom. Visit JusticeforBethBrodie.com - her killer is up for parole, the hearing is Thurs, May 16 in Natick. Write the parole board and tell them No Parole for Richard Baldwin, W56202 Molly Bish, Warren, Mass, 2000 - she was 16 when she disappeared from her lifeguard job at Comins Pond. Her remains were found 3 years later in nearby Palmer. The Bishes began Missing Children's Day to honor Molly and other missing kids. We meet on Fri, May 17 at Massachusetts State House in Boston.

Due to technical difficulties, I am unable to release a new episode. It's been a week, ya'll! But I thought I'd take this opportunity to re-release arguably the most important episode I've ever recorded. Every episode is important but, in this case, we have the chance to make a huge difference. To this day, the Judge Rotenberg Center is still using electric shock therapy on 53 autistic and/or disabled human beings. I covered the history of the Judge Rotenberg Center from it's beginning to current day in a seven-part mini-series (episodes 27-34 -originally released 8/5/21). You can binge them or listen to this episode as a stand-alone. This is my interview with the incredible Jen Msumba. Everyone should hear and know her story. Jennifer Msumba: https://www.jennifermsumba.com/ Employee X, Lemonade, and a survivor. Judge Rotenberg Center in Canton, Massachusetts is a day and residential school treating children from as young as five, all the way through adulthood with intellectual disabilities, psychiatric issues and those on the autism spectrum since 1971. JRC has been surrounded in controversy with allegations of abuse since it was founded by Matthew Israel. Something that experts and the United Nations deem as torture. Something the FDA banned but is still being used as a treatment today, the Graduated Electronic Decelerator.

This week, Stacey welcomes back Ivan Soto to discuss how the pandemic has impacted all businesses in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry across every functional area including validation. Downtime due to social distancing requirements, employee illness, and the close of many departments for on-site purposes have had a major impact on productivity and production. Although most companies in the industry have Business Continuity Plans, most of them were not detailed or inclusive enough to provide contingencies for all impacted functional areas. Today we will highlight strategies that enable validation leadership and teams to keep validation activities functional and productive not only throughout but following the pandemic.

Shaun was the new kid at Canton High looking to make friends. He was an easy going boy whose only mistake was trusting the one kid in town with violent intentions. Part two delves into the the many warning signs given off by his teenaged killer, Rod Matthews, and how an entire town seemed to miss every single one of them.

This week, Stacey welcomes back Ivan Soto, to discuss strategies that enable the implementation of a risk-based change management process. Utilizing a risk-based lifecycle approach to manufacturing allows us to identify, analyze, understand, manage and report any risk, or potential risk throughout the lifecycle. When it comes to change control, it can be much more challenging to apply risk-based methods. Ivan Soto is the Director CQV at Emergent BioSolutions, he is responsible for leading the commissioning, qualification, and validation activities at the Canton Massachusetts manufacturing facility. He has been in the industry for over 20 years and held several technical and management positions at different biotech and pharmaceutical companies in the areas of Validation, IT Compliance, Quality Control, and Quality Assurance, Manufacturing, and Business Strategy.

In the fall of 1986, Shaun Ouillette was the new kid at Canton High in Canton, Massachusetts. The friendly, easy going 14 year old freshman had been having trouble making friends in his new school. Hoping to strike up a new friendship, he took the bus after school on November 20 to another 14 year old's house to buy some fireworks and hang out. What almost everyone else didn't know is that Shaun was the target of Rod Matthews' murder plan to "see what it feels like". The details of the planning and execution of are stunning, knowing that 14 year old kids are involved. Crime of the Truest KindHosted by Anngelle WoodOnline: CrimeoftheTruestKind.comMerch!
