Plastic Found on Deep In O'Keefe's Clothing Matches Karen Read's Taillight - Forensic Bombshell In this critical segment of the Karen Read trial, Massachusetts State Police Crime Lab forensic scientist Christina Hanley delivered testimony that bolsters the prosecution's narrative: that John O'Keefe was struck and left to die—while key trace evidence ties back to Read's SUV. Hanley's testimony focused on three main forensic categories: glass fragments, plastic from the taillight, and debris found in John O'Keefe's clothing. Her analysis confirmed that six out of nine pieces of broken glass recovered from the road (Item 7-12) physically matched a drinking glass (Item 3-2) found shattered at the scene. These were “jigsaw-style” physical matches—clear, visible break lines that could not be coincidental. Crucially, no glass from the bumper of Karen Read's vehicle (Item 3-3) matched the cup. That undercuts any attempt to suggest the bumper glass proves an alternate chain of events. But the prosecution's win didn't end there. Hanley's testimony also tied red and clear plastic found on John O'Keefe's shirt directly back to the passenger-side taillight of Karen Read's SUV. The plastic wasn't just “similar” in color—it was microscopically and instrumentally consistent, meaning it shared the same optical, structural, and chemical characteristics under forensic analysis (including FTIR and microspectrophotometry). Although forensic scientists stop short of declaring a definitive source, “consistency” across multiple scientific instruments is the gold standard in trace evidence—and the jury heard that loud and clear. This detailed forensic testimony is a massive problem for the defense. The physical match confirms O'Keefe was in proximity to the cup and the scene. The trace plastic suggests direct contact with Read's vehicle. And no glass evidence ties back to any other suspect. #KarenRead #JohnOKeefe #ForensicMatch #CrimeLabEvidence #ProsecutionEvidence #TaillightMatch #MassStatePolice #TrueCrime #GlassAnalysis #JusticeForOKeefe Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Glenn Langenburg and Eric Ray review two articles from Cell that focus on the genetic basis for ridge development and pattern formation. 'The developmental basis of fingerprint pattern formation and variation' by Glover, et al., and 'Limb development genes underlie variation in human fingerprint patterns' by Li, et al. Our understanding of these complex processes continues to grow, and these papers further support our field and our conclusions.
A sharp turn in the news about Jeffery Epstein certainly gives us a moment to be prepared for another gaslighting by our government. Now that they're inside the government, the Kash Patel and Dan Bongino have found that backing up their claims as private citizens is sometimes a difficult task. That was captured over the weekend, when Bongino and Patel plainly stated that notorious financier Jeffrey Epstein died by suicide in prison.

Karen Read Trial Day 19 Breakdown - Forensic Showdown As Timeline Survives Resume Attack In today's explosive session of the Karen Read murder trial, the defense launched a full-on assault—not against the timeline, not against the data, but against the man who delivered it: digital forensics expert Shanon Burgess. Defense attorney Alan Jackson hammered Burgess over old versions of his résumé, which falsely listed a bachelor's degree from the University of Alabama at Birmingham. Under oath, Burgess admitted he never earned the degree—fueling the defense's claim that his testimony shouldn't be trusted. But did the argument land? Not according to the Commonwealth. Prosecutor Hank Brennan struck back hard in redirect, pointing out that Burgess had updated his CV in 2024 to say he was “currently pursuing” the degree, and that the flawed version in question was submitted by a staffer in a completely unrelated case. More importantly, Brennan reminded the court: Burgess's credentials were not the reason he was called to testify—his evidence was. And that evidence still stands: forensic data that places Karen Read's Lexus reversing at the exact moment John O'Keefe's iPhone stopped moving. That timeline didn't change, even when the résumé drama played out. The jury also heard from Christina Hanley, a forensic scientist with the Massachusetts State Police Crime Lab. Hanley walked them through physical evidence collected from the scene and Read's SUV—glass shards, taillight fragments, and a clear drinking cup. The defense tried to poke holes by highlighting a date misstatement, but the impact was minimal. The evidence, like the timeline, was intact. This episode unpacks the resume attack, the prosecution's defense, and why, at the end of the day, you can question a man's degree—but not the truth in the data. #KarenRead #JohnOKeefe #KarenReadTrial #ShanonBurgess #ForensicEvidence #TrueCrimeCourtroom #ProsecutionStrategy #FakeDegree #CrimeSceneAnalysis #ChristinaHanley Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Summary Dr. David Rosenblum delivered a comprehensive lecture on gender differences in opiate effects and prescribing practices. He discussed several key studies examining how opiates affect males and females differently, both in animal models and humans. Dr. Rosenblum shared findings showing that morphine has stronger analgesic effects in males, while females experience longer-lasting effects. He also addressed racial disparities in opiate prescribing, noting that white patients are more likely to receive opiates. From his personal clinical experience in Brooklyn, Dr. Rosenblum observed that certain populations tend to be at higher risk for opiate abuse. The lecture covered gender-specific risk factors for opiate misuse, with women tending toward emotional/psychological factors and men showing more behavioral issues.

One of the most enduring mysteries of all time is what happened on Oak Island in Nova Scotia? Was there treasure buried there and is it still there? One of the most popular cable television shows ever, The Curse of Oak Island on History Channel, investigated the mystery spending millions of dollars over ten seasons and could not find the treasure. Both Don Ruh and Scott Wolter have had firsthand involvement with the island and its mysteries over the years, Don sharing two maps with Rick and Marty Lagina via his friend and co-researcher Zena Halpern, and Scott with his multiple visits to the island. However, they had little interest in the mystery until early in 2023 when a trove of encrypted documents came to Don as part of their research of the Knights' Templar Cremona Document materials. Once decoded, the five messages and three sketches and one new map of the island revealed shockingly detailed information about who constructed, “ The Underground Project,” put treasure there and what happened to it. Finally, the over six-centuries-long mystery has been solved. Incredibly, the documents also provide new insight into the fabled Holy Grail.Forensic geologist Scott Wolter was host of History Channel' s hit show, America Unearthed, which followed him on his quest to uncover the truth behind controversial historic artifacts and sites found throughout North America and beyond. Scott is the author of three books about the Templars and Freemasons, including the wildly controversial, The Hooked X: Key to the Secret History of North America. Scott is a 32nd degree Freemason and Templar Knight, and is married to author and co-researcher, Janet Wolter. They have two adult children and two grandchildren. Donald Ruh, author of The Scrolls of Onteora: The Cremona Document, was born and raised in Mount Vernon, N.Y. and worked as an electronics technician in the manufacturing process of medical equipment, retiring in 2008. He is an honorary member of the New York State Archaeological Association, and a member of the New England Antiquities Association (NEARA) since 1998. He has worked with Scott Wolter since 2006 to decode and understand the complex historic maps and other materials contained in the Cremona Document.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/earth-ancients--2790919/support.
Today Nancy Grace and Sheryl McCollum dissect the incredible testimony of Cassie Ventura in the case of Sean Diddy Combs. The duo take listeners inside the courtroom, explaining how victim testimony works and why it’s so hard for prosecutors to prove abuse - especially when power, money, and influence are at play. Sheryl explains why Cassie Ventura’s hotel video is a “money tree” for the case - legal gold when it comes to proving the power dynamics and abuse. They explain what happens when a victim has to live under the intense control of an abusive partner - and how that control becomes a tumultuous abuse cycle. Nancy shares her own experience of this power play in the legal system to give the example of how a person in the situation of a power play has to weigh the choices of exposure.

The trade in shark liver oil is an invisible threat to sharks. Not only is there limited research on the topic, but liver oil is notoriously difficult to track and trace. Enter Dr Madeline Green, molecular fisheries ecologist and Principle Investigator of the Forensic Fisheries Lab at the University of Tasmania.

The arrest of a well-known Winona resident in the 2011 cold case death of a newborn baby found floating in the Mississippi River stunned the community. Jennifer Baechle is a pillar in the local arts and music scene. She's a wife and mother of two, who volunteers with nonprofits and cooks for church fundraisers, including one benefiting the Winona Immigration Network. She's an English instructor at Winona State University, her alma mater. Forensic geneology led investigators to Baechle's door, with concrete DNA evidence indicating Baechle is the mother. Yet the community is still left with one big question: Why did she wrap her baby in a tote bag and send her down the Mississippi River? In this episode, we speak with John Molseed, a Rochester Post Bulletin reporter who has been covering the story -- and has insight into the small city's reaction to it all. Press conference audio was provided by the Rochester Post Bulletin, a Forum Commnications newspaper. If you have any questions or comments, email Trisha Taurinskas at ttaurinskas@forumcomm.com.

In this episode, Glenn and Eric start with a quick game of “A Truth, A Lie, and a Mandella Effect”. Then they pose a question from a listener regarding interest in a forum where listeners can go and discuss the episodes of the show, ask questions, and chat “amongst themselves”. Finally they get to the long awaited Noblis/FBI study “Black Box 2” latent fingerprint error rate study. This is a re-do of the 2011 black box study for latent fingerprint performance. This study “Accuracy and reproducibility of latent print decisions on comparisons from searches of an automated fingerprint identification system” by Hicklin, Richetelli, Taylor and Buscaglia (For Sci Intl, 370 (2025), 112457), reported the performance of 156 U.S. latent print examiner participants each reviewing about 100 latent prints/comparisons resulting in over 14,000 trials. The study reports numerous statistics of performance such as sensitivity (63%), specificity (70%), false positive error rate (0.2%), and false negative error rate (4.2%). The guys also discuss some important study design differences, plus there are a lot of data in the appendices. Finally they talk about the number of false positives made in the study (n=23) and the fact that 13 of those 23 were made by one participant and how that impacted the results.

On Day 11 of Karen Read's murder retrial, the courtroom focused on digital forensic evidence, particularly the timing of a controversial Google search made by Jennifer McCabe, a key prosecution witness and former friend of Read. Digital forensics expert Jessica Hyde testified that the search query, “hos long to die in cold,” was conducted at approximately 6:24 a.m. on January 29, 2022. This timing aligns with the prosecution's timeline, suggesting the search occurred after John O'Keefe's body was discovered. Hyde clarified that earlier timestamps on McCabe's phone, such as 2:27 a.m., indicated when a browser tab was opened or moved to the background, not when the search was executed. The defense had previously argued that the search occurred earlier, implying foreknowledge of O'Keefe's death.Additionally, Massachusetts State Trooper Connor Keefe testified about evidence collected from the scene, including red plastic shards believed to be from Read's SUV taillight and a black Nike sneaker. Keefe's testimony aimed to support the prosecution's claim that Read struck O'Keefe with her vehicle. The defense questioned the integrity of the evidence collection process, noting inconsistencies such as the late discovery of taillight fragments and the lack of a thorough search of the house where O'Keefe was found. The day's proceedings highlighted the ongoing debate over digital evidence interpretation and the handling of physical evidence at the crime scene.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Forensic expert Jessica Hyde testifies at Karen Read trial about Jennifer McCabe's disputed Google search - CBS Boston

Often in true crime spaces we come across cases where a murder is never solved, where a murdered person's family never finds justice, where a body is never properly laid to rest. Sometimes we get one of these things, or two, and, more rarely than it SHOULD happen, sometimes we get all three. Today's case is all 3: a body found, a murder solved, and justice served. This is the case of April Tinsley.Sources: 1) https://archives.fbi.gov/archives/news/stories/2009/may/april-tinsley-murder-pt.-3/tinsley-killer-profile2) https://archives.fbi.gov/archives/news/stories/2009/april/tinsley_0403093) https://theburr.com/3058/blogs/season-of-justice/season-of-justice-april-tinsley/4) https://www.insideedition.com/april-tinsley-case-man-tied-8-year-olds-1988-murder-through-genealogy-website-dna-technology-cops5) https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2018/07/16/i-been-watching-you-a-child-killer-taunted-little-girls-with-terrifying-notes-police-say-after-30-years-dna-led-to-an-arrest/6) https://www.wfyi.org/news/articles/arrest-made-in-april-tinsley-homicide-case7) https://www.wane.com/news/local-news/tinsley-detectives-reveal-new-details-about-case-suspect/1724738759/8) https://www.cnn.com/2009/CRIME/06/04/indiana.fbi.cold.case/9) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_April_Tinsley Support the show

Every festering remnant of the people no one cared about in life, much less death. All the broken children who will never know that I grieved for them, take it all.
