Michael Proctor's Career of Alleged Cover-Ups In Memoriam Michael Proctor had everything a cop could want—respect, power, and a reputation that, for years, seemed untouchable. But by March 2025, he wasn't just out of a job—he was a liability. Fired. Disgraced. Publicly humiliated in a way few law enforcement officers ever are. And it all comes back to one thing: the way he handled the Karen Read case. Or rather, how spectacularly he mishandled it. Proctor's downfall wasn't a quick and clean dismissal. This wasn't one of those “effective immediately” situations where a cop gets caught doing something catastrophic and is gone by the next morning. No, this was a slow-motion train wreck. A case study in watching someone who thought they were untouchable get tangled in their own arrogance, their own bias, and their own mistakes. It started with a mistrial in July 2024—a high-profile, publicly scrutinized moment where Proctor didn't just look bad on the stand, he became the story. His testimony wasn't just shaky; it was an unmitigated disaster. Prosecutors must have known it was coming because the moment his text messages came out, it was game over. These weren't just any texts. Proctor, the lead investigator in the Karen Read case, the man responsible for gathering evidence and ensuring a fair and unbiased investigation, repeatedly called the defendant a "wack-job ct," openly mocked her, laughed about digging through her phone for nude photos, and, in one of the most damning moments, said he hoped she would kill herself.** Think about that for a second. The guy responsible for finding out what actually happened had already made up his mind before the investigation even started. And he wasn't keeping that bias to himself—he was texting it to people. Joking about it. Making it impossible to argue that he had conducted an objective investigation. And that wasn't even the worst of it. Proctor had undisclosed personal connections to key people involved in the case. His own sister was friends with members of the Albert family—the same family that owned the house where John O'Keefe was last seen alive. His family knew them socially. And yet, he never disclosed this. He took the case, took control of the evidence, and built a case against Karen Read while having direct ties to the very people who could have been alternative suspects. Then there was the taillight evidence. The prosecution's whole theory hinged on the idea that Karen Read backed into John O'Keefe with her SUV, breaking her taillight and leaving him outside to die in the snow. But the glass fragments that allegedly proved this theory didn't make it to the crime lab for six weeks. Six weeks. And guess who was in charge of that evidence? Michael Proctor. When asked about the delay, there was no good answer. No chain of custody explanation that made sense. No reasonable justification for why a critical piece of forensic evidence in a high-profile murder case sat around for over a month before it was analyzed. The defense didn't even need to prove that the evidence had been planted—they just had to point out how incompetent and sloppy the investigation was. And Proctor had done all of their work for them. The mistrial was a disaster. But the fallout was worse. Within hours of the decision, Proctor was suspended. That was the first clue that even his own department knew he was a problem. The Massachusetts State Police don't just throw their own under the bus. It takes serious misconduct for them to cut someone loose. And by this point, they had no choice. Because once Proctor went down, he took a whole lot of other cases with him. One of the first dominoes to fall? The Ana Walshe murder trial. This was another major case where Proctor had been deeply involved—investigating the disappearance and presumed murder of Walshe by her husband, Brian. But after the Read mistrial, prosecutors dropped Proctor from their witness list. They weren't even willing to put him on the stand. Think about what that means. Prosecutors, who normally go to great lengths to protect their investigators, decided it was better to move forward without their lead detective rather than risk having him testify. Then came the defense attorneys lining up to challenge other convictions. Proctor had worked on multiple murder cases, and now, anyone convicted in those cases had a potential argument for appeal. If Proctor had lied, manipulated evidence, or acted with bias in the Read case, who's to say he hadn't done it before? By late 2024, the Massachusetts State Police were scrambling. They launched internal investigations not just into Proctor, but **into his superiors—**the people who had allowed him to operate without oversight. They needed to figure out who knew what and when. And once they started digging, it became clear that Proctor wasn't the only problem. The truth is, he was never operating alone. And that brings us back to Sandra Birchmore. Sandra Birchmore was 23 years old, pregnant, and terrified. She had been manipulated for years by a man with a badge—Officer Matthew Farwell, a cop she had known since she was a teenager, a man who had groomed her since she was 13 or 14 years old under the guise of a police mentorship program. By 2021, she was pregnant with Farwell's child. Days later, she was found dead in her apartment. The official cause? Suicide. The police wasted no time shutting the case down. No suspicious circumstances. No deep dive into her relationship with Farwell. Just a quick, convenient conclusion that kept everything under wraps. And guess who oversaw that investigation? The same Massachusetts State Police unit that Michael Proctor worked for. It would take three years for the truth to come out. When federal investigators finally stepped in, they re-examined the crime scene, the autopsy, and Birchmore's relationship with Farwell. What they found contradicted the original ruling completely. Sandra Birchmore hadn't died by suicide. She had been strangled. Her death had been staged. The scene manipulated to look like something it wasn't. And when that became undeniable, Matthew Farwell was arrested and charged with murder in August 2024. This should have been the moment when the Massachusetts State Police admitted failure. But instead, they scrambled to explain how they had gotten it so wrong. And that's where things start to look uncomfortably familiar. The same people involved in burying the Birchmore case had direct ties to the Read investigation. Lieutenant John Fanning, Detective Brian Tully, and Sergeant Yuri Bukhenik—all senior officers **in Proctor's chain of command during the Read case—**had connections to the Stoughton Police Department, the same department where Farwell worked. This wasn't a coincidence. By the time Proctor was fired in March 2025, it wasn't about just him anymore. It was about all the people who had allowed him to operate unchecked for years. And the fallout was just beginning. Because once people started asking who had protected Proctor, they started realizing he was just one piece of a much bigger problem.

The Fall of Trooper Michael Proctor: A Trail of Misconduct and Broken Trust

The Fall of Trooper Michael Proctor: A Trail of Misconduct and Broken Trust On January 15, 2025, Massachusetts State Trooper Michael Proctor will face a disciplinary hearing that could mark the end of his career. The hearing follows a cascade of controversies involving Proctor's investigative conduct in several high-profile cases, each raising serious questions about the integrity of law enforcement practices in Massachusetts. From the Karen Read murder trial to the disturbing death of Sandra Birchmore, Proctor's involvement has been marred by allegations of misconduct, mishandled evidence, and professional impropriety. As the public watches closely, the hearing promises to be a pivotal moment for the Massachusetts State Police. The Karen Read Case: A Mistrial and Questions of Bias In January 2022, Karen Read was accused of killing her boyfriend, Boston Police Officer John O'Keefe, by allegedly backing her SUV into him during a snowstorm. Trooper Michael Proctor was assigned as the lead investigator in the case, a role that would later become a focal point of controversy. During the trial, Proctor's conduct came under fire when defense attorneys revealed unprofessional and derogatory text messages he had sent regarding Read. In one particularly damning message, Proctor expressed hope that Read would harm herself, a sentiment he later admitted to under cross-examination. The defense alleged that Proctor's investigative methods were not only biased but also aimed at confirming Read's guilt rather than pursuing an impartial search for the truth. Questions were raised about the handling of physical evidence, including the broken taillight from Read's SUV and the analysis of O'Keefe's injuries. In July 2024, the case ended in a mistrial, further eroding public confidence in the investigation. Read's retrial is now scheduled for April 2025, but the shadow of Proctor's alleged misconduct continues to loom large. The Brian Walshe Case: Doubts About Credibility Proctor's troubles did not end with the Karen Read case. In early 2023, he was assigned as the lead investigator in another high-profile case: the murder of Ana Walshe. Her husband, Brian Walshe, was accused of killing and dismembering her in one of the most shocking domestic violence cases in recent memory. Despite the gravity of the allegations, prosecutors announced in September 2024 that Proctor would not be called to testify during Walshe's trial. The decision was widely interpreted as an acknowledgment of the credibility issues stemming from Proctor's prior conduct in the Read case. Defense attorneys in the Walshe case seized upon Proctor's tarnished reputation, questioning whether his investigative methods could be trusted. While the details of his involvement remain limited due to the decision to sideline him as a witness, the controversy surrounding Proctor has undoubtedly impacted public perception of the case, which is set to go to trial later in 2025. The Myles King and Shawn Johnson Cases: A Pattern of Concern Proctor's involvement in other cases has also come under scrutiny. In the case of Myles King, accused of killing Marquis Simmons in Milton in 2021, defense attorneys expressed concerns about Proctor's role in the investigation. Similar concerns arose in the case of Shawn Johnson, who faces murder charges related to a deadly shooting outside a Randolph country club on July 4, 2022. In both instances, defense teams highlighted Proctor's alleged misconduct in the Read and Walshe cases as a basis for questioning the integrity of the investigations. The Sandra Birchmore Case: A Tragic Loss and a Broken System Perhaps the most harrowing of all is the case of Sandra Birchmore, a 23-year-old woman whose death was initially ruled a suicide. Birchmore was found dead in her Canton, Massachusetts apartment in February 2021. The initial investigation by local authorities concluded that she had taken her own life, but federal investigators later determined that her death was a homicide. Former Stoughton Police Officer Matthew Farwell was indicted in August 2024 for Birchmore's murder. Farwell, who allegedly groomed Birchmore from the time she was a teenager, was accused of maintaining a years-long inappropriate relationship with her. When Birchmore became pregnant, Farwell allegedly staged her death to appear as a suicide, a revelation that sent shockwaves through the community. While Proctor was not directly involved in the Birchmore investigation, the case has drawn parallels to others he handled, particularly in the context of law enforcement misconduct. The Birchmore tragedy underscores systemic failures within Massachusetts' law enforcement agencies and has intensified calls for comprehensive reforms. Implications for Massachusetts State Police The upcoming disciplinary hearing for Michael Proctor is more than just a review of one officer's conduct; it is a litmus test for the Massachusetts State Police's commitment to accountability and reform. Proctor's suspension without pay since July 2024, following an internal affairs investigation, has already signaled the department's willingness to address serious allegations. However, public trust in the force remains precarious. The Massachusetts State Police have stated that the trial board's recommendations will be reviewed by the Superintendent, who will determine the final outcome. This process is being closely watched by advocacy groups, legal experts, and the families of those affected by the cases Proctor investigated. The results of the hearing could have far-reaching implications, not only for Proctor's career but also for the integrity of the Massachusetts State Police as a whole. Public and Media Reaction The media has extensively covered the controversies surrounding Proctor, painting a picture of a deeply troubled investigator whose alleged misconduct has jeopardized multiple cases. Public response has been equally intense, with many calling for greater transparency and accountability in law enforcement. Advocacy groups have emphasized the need for systemic reforms, including improved oversight mechanisms and stricter standards for investigative practices. The cases involving Karen Read, Brian Walshe, and Sandra Birchmore have become rallying points for those demanding justice and institutional change. As public pressure mounts, the Massachusetts State Police face a critical juncture: Will they take decisive action to restore trust, or will they allow the shadow of these controversies to linger? Conclusion and Anticipated Developments The disciplinary hearing on January 15, 2025, is expected to be a watershed moment. Whether Michael Proctor faces permanent disciplinary action or is allowed to continue his career will depend on the findings of the trial board and the Superintendent's decision. Meanwhile, the Karen Read retrial, the Brian Walshe trial, and the legal proceedings in the Sandra Birchmore case will continue to unfold, each carrying the weight of Proctor's controversial legacy. As Massachusetts grapples with these complex and emotionally charged cases, one thing is clear: The pursuit of justice demands more than just individual accountability. It requires a commitment to systemic change, ensuring that tragedies like those of Sandra Birchmore and John O'Keefe are never repeated. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Meister Eckhart's Christmas Sermon One. Where is the Word born and how?

Mark Vernon - Talks and Thoughts

Play Episode Listen Later Dec 14, 2024 33:23

Sermon One (in Walshe, Complete Mystical Works) has become known as capturing the essence of Meister Eckhart's thought. “Here, in time, we are celebrating the eternal birth which God the Father bore and bears unceasingly in eternity, because this same birth is now born in time, in human nature.” And why does this lofty thought matter? “What does it avail me that this birth is happening, if it does not happen in me? That it should happen in me is what matters.”Eckhart, therefore, offers a corrective to the way Christianity and indeed Christmas is usually articulated today. Where does this birth take place? Not in Bethlehem, not in a stable, not around 4BC, not even from Mary, but primarily “in the very purest, loftiest, subtlest part that the soul is capable of”.Only, is this itself not only too rarefied a form of Christianity, but one inadequate to our times, in denial of moral imperatives or simply a gospel of spiritual bypassing?In fact, precisely the opposite is the case. Without that birth of the Word in the soul, Christianity's moral meaning is lost, its injunctions become pathways to demoralisation, with the happiness promised transitory or elusive.Eckhart, therefore, has crucial things to say to a church dedicated to filling people up with experiences and demands, as well as a time keen on practices that miss the stillness and silence he argues is fundamental.Rather, alongside the author of The Cloud of Unknowing and Mother Julian, Eckhart preaches the direct and easy path, that depends not on our efforts but on a capacity to not know and stay before the ground from which the Word is born.Unity with God is the purpose and promise of life - the secret that I feel is regularly absent in presentations of Christianity, though so much sought and needed.

New judge, new urgency in Walshe case: Legal expert explains the latest

There's a new judge overseeing the Ana Walshe murder case, and she's pushing to get it moving along faster — in fact, she set a trial date before the end of 2025. To better understand Judge Diane Freniere's approach to the Walshe case, we sat down with NBC10 legal analyst Michael Coyne, who pointed out that "time is a real thief" when it comes to testimony in murder trials. He also shared what he thinks is the most damning evidence presented so far (it's not the infamous Google searches), and what the hold-up has been in the defense's request for evidence on the lead investigator that's tied to the Karen Read case.For updates to the case as they happen, visit nbcboston.com/tag/ana-walshe.

Trial Date Set for Brian Walshe in Wife's Disappearance and Murder Case

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary

A trial date has been set for Brian Walshe, the 48-year-old man accused of killing his wife, Ana, and dismembering her body in early 2023. Judge Diana Freniere, newly assigned to oversee the case, confirmed that jury selection will begin on October 20, 2025, and the trial will last approximately three to four weeks. Brian Walshe has been in custody without bail since January 18, 2023, when he was arrested following the disappearance of his wife. Ana Walshe, a 39-year-old mother of three, was last seen leaving their Cohasset, Massachusetts, home on New Year's Day in 2023. Although her body has never been recovered, prosecutors allege that Brian killed Ana, dismembered her body, and discarded her remains in a trash dump. During a recent motion hearing in Norfolk Superior Court, Judge Freniere expressed her belief that the case could be expedited to trial sooner than anticipated. “I think that it's reasonable that a case such as this one will be tried within two years from indictment. On the present schedule you suggest, I think it's looking closer to the three-year mark. And I think that's a little unnecessary,” the judge remarked, pushing for a more efficient process. The trial is now set to begin in 2025. The prosecution's case hinges heavily on digital evidence. Investigators revealed that Brian Walshe made a series of suspicious Google searches on their son's iPad, including inquiries about how to dispose of a body. Prosecutors are also relying on physical evidence, including a hacksaw found in a dumpster near Brian's mother's house, which contained a bone fragment. Additionally, pieces of clothing and jewelry, which prosecutors say were worn by Ana when she left her home, were discovered in the same location. However, the case has faced significant delays due to legal disputes over evidence. At the heart of these delays is a request from Walshe's defense team for documents related to Trooper Michael Proctor, the lead investigator on both the Walshe case and the high-profile Karen Read murder investigation. Walshe's attorneys have requested email and text message correspondence from Proctor, hoping to find any communications that might suggest bias or unprofessional behavior in the investigation. Proctor, who has been suspended without pay after admitting to unprofessional conduct in the Read case, is under scrutiny for his involvement in both investigations. “There are concerns about the integrity of the investigation,” said Walshe's attorney during the hearing. “We need to know whether any records exist that could suggest bias or lost information.” In addition to the legal wrangling over evidence, the prosecution has indicated that they are still awaiting DNA testing results from a private lab. These tests are crucial as they could provide critical evidence to link Walshe to the crime, but the results have been delayed due to disputes over the costs of testing and concerns about the potential destruction of key evidence. Throughout the proceedings, the prosecution has made it clear that the absence of Ana's body will not undermine their case. “The digital evidence, along with physical findings like the hacksaw and the clothing, are critical components of the investigation,” said a prosecutor following the hearing. “This case is not just about finding the body. It's about connecting the dots through the evidence we have.” As the legal battle over evidence continues, Brian Walshe's defense team remains adamant that the charges against him are baseless, pleading not guilty to all charges, including murder, obstruction of justice, and improper conveyance of a human body. Despite the lack of a body, prosecutors are confident that they have a strong case to secure a conviction. The trial, which is expected to draw significant attention given its high-profile nature, will focus on the digital and physical evidence that ties Brian Walshe to the alleged crime. While the road to trial has been long and fraught with legal hurdles, both sides are preparing for what is expected to be a highly scrutinized and lengthy trial in 2025. #BrianWalshe #AnaWalshe #TrialDate #Cohasset #MurderCase #MissingWife #KarenRead #DigitalEvidence #Prosecutor #Defense Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Brian Walshe, accused of killing and dismembering his wife, Ana Walshe, is facing new developments in his murder trial as his defense team raises concerns about the impartiality of the investigation. Walshe's attorneys are demanding access to documents from two other high-profile Massachusetts murder cases, citing potential bias from former Massachusetts State Trooper Michael Proctor, who led the investigation into both Walshe's and Karen Read's cases. Walshe, 48, was arrested in January 2023 and indicted on multiple charges, including murder, misleading a police investigation, and improper conveyance of a human body. He remains in custody without bail as his legal team works to challenge aspects of the investigation. The defense team is particularly focused on Michael Proctor, the former state trooper who led the inquiry into Walshe's case. Proctor's involvement in another high-profile case—the investigation into Karen Read—has come under scrutiny. Read is accused of striking her boyfriend, John O'Keefe, with her SUV and leaving him to die in a snowstorm. Proctor's conduct in Read's case, which ended in a mistrial, led to his suspension following testimony that revealed unprofessional behavior, including disparaging text messages about Read. During her trial, Proctor referred to Read as a “whack job” and used an expletive, later apologizing to the jury for his comments. Citing this behavior, Walshe's defense team is questioning whether Proctor may have held a similar bias against their client. “Proctor's text messages about Karen Read reveal bias,” Walshe's attorney, Larry Tipton, said during a recent hearing. “We want to ensure there was no bias in Brian Walshe's case, and that's why we're requesting access to these documents.” The defense has asked for a comprehensive list of records related to Proctor's work, including his cellphone data, internet account details, and more than 3,000 pages from an ongoing federal investigation. Walshe's team is also seeking documents tied to Proctor's role in the investigation of Sandra Birchmore, another case where Proctor's actions have come under scrutiny. While Walshe's lawyers have not found concrete evidence of police or prosecutorial misconduct so far, they are pushing for transparency. “And I was going to explain why we filed such a detailed memorandum of law,” Tipton stated, “but I don't think I need to waste the court's time with that.” The Norfolk County district attorney's office, which is prosecuting Walshe, has stated that it will share any information relevant to the case, but they will not turn over sensitive information from other ongoing investigations. In a filing, the office noted that releasing Proctor's phone and work cloud data could expose criminal offender records, confidential informant information, and private data from grand jury proceedings. Prosecutors have made it clear that they do not plan to call Proctor as a witness in Walshe's trial. Instead, Cohasset Police Sgt. Harrison Schmidt has taken on Proctor's role in the investigation. "Dozens" of officers from the Massachusetts State Police and Cohasset Police Department were involved in the case, according to the district attorney's office, which argues that Proctor's absence will not impact the trial. The defense and prosecution are expected to reconvene in December after Walshe's legal team has reviewed the documents provided by the prosecution. As the trial approaches, the defense is continuing to build its case, hoping to uncover any signs of bias or misconduct that could impact the outcome of this highly publicized murder case.

In a filing, the office noted that releasing Proctor's phone and work cloud data could expose criminal offender records, confidential informant information, and private data from grand jury proceedings. Prosecutors have made it clear that they do not plan to call Proctor as a witness in Walshe's trial. Instead, Cohasset Police Sgt. Harrison Schmidt has taken on Proctor's role in the investigation. "Dozens" of officers from the Massachusetts State Police and Cohasset Police Department were involved in the case, according to the district attorney's office, which argues that Proctor's absence will not impact the trial. The defense and prosecution are expected to reconvene in December after Walshe's legal team has reviewed the documents provided by the prosecution. As the trial approaches, the defense is continuing to build its case, hoping to uncover any signs of bias or misconduct that could impact the outcome of this highly publicized murder case.

Man Sentenced to 37 Months for Fake Andy Warhol Paintings as Murder Case Looms

Brian Walshe, a 49-year-old Massachusetts man, has been sentenced to 37 months in prison for his involvement in a fraudulent art scheme selling counterfeit Andy Warhol paintings, announced the U.S. Attorney's Office in Boston. The sentencing comes amidst pending state charges against Walshe, including first-degree murder, related to the disappearance of his wife, Ana Walshe. In a federal case, Walshe pleaded guilty in 2021 to charges of wire fraud, interstate transportation for a scheme to defraud, and unlawful monetary transaction. These charges stem from what prosecutors described as "a years-long, multi-faceted art fraud scheme," wherein Walshe advertised and sold fake Andy Warhol "Shadows" paintings. Ana Walshe was last seen on New Year's Day 2023 at her home in Cohasset, according to police reports. While her body has never been found, Brian Walshe faces allegations of her murder, with a criminal complaint suggesting he killed her that day and disposed of her remains. The fraudulent art scheme centered around two abstract paintings that Walshe claimed to be authentic Warhol "Shadows," which he sold for $80,000 outside of eBay in 2016. Court documents reveal that the genuine Warhol paintings belonged to the family of a former classmate of Walshe's from Carnegie Mellon University in the 1990s. Prosecutors allege that Walshe never intended to return the authentic Warhol pieces to their rightful owners, as evidenced by excerpts from his diary at the time. Entries suggest a premeditated intent to defraud, with statements indicating a callous disregard for the victims. Despite the federal sentencing, Walshe's legal troubles are far from over. He awaits trial on state charges related to his wife's disappearance and alleged murder. Prosecutors have pointed to disturbing internet search history, including inquiries about disposing of a body and stopping decomposition, as evidence against him. Walshe's attorneys sought a more lenient sentence of time served and three years of supervised release, but prosecutors pushed for the 37-month term, which the judge ultimately imposed. Meanwhile, Walshe maintains his innocence in the state murder case and remains in custody without bail. As the legal proceedings unfold, the fate of Ana Walshe and the true extent of Brian Walshe's alleged crimes continue to hang in the balance, leaving both law enforcement and the community eagerly awaiting justice and closure.

Brian Walshe, who is facing charges related to the alleged murder of his wife Ana Walshe, is scheduled to be sentenced next month in a federal art fraud case. The decision comes as a result of an agreement reached between his defense lawyer and the prosecutor, aimed at resolving the impact of accusations regarding his theft from his father's estate on his federal sentence. Walshe, a resident of Cohasset, was charged with the sale of two counterfeit Andy Warhol paintings in 2016. Investigators believe that he obtained authentic paintings from a friend and attempted to sell replicas on eBay using photographs. He entered a guilty plea in 2021 in connection with this case. However, the sentencing process was delayed due to allegations that he had embezzled over $100,000 from his father's bank accounts approximately three months after his father's demise in 2018, as previously reported by Boston.com. During a recent brief hearing, Walshe's criminal lawyer, Tracy Miner, and prosecutor Timothy Moran informed the judge of their intention to present facts related to the probate issue. They sought a decision from the judge regarding whether these actions amounted to obstruction of justice in connection with the federal case. Brian Walshe's final sentencing in the federal art fraud case is currently scheduled for February 22. However, he was not present in court during the recent hearing. Walshe remains in custody, facing charges related to the alleged murder of his wife and the disposal of her body. The case continues to garner attention as it combines allegations of art fraud with more serious charges related to the suspected murder of Ana Walshe. The legal proceedings will determine the outcome of both cases, shedding light on the extent of his involvement in the alleged art fraud and the circumstances surrounding his wife's tragic death.
