INFAMOUS: The Death of John O'Keefe & The Trial of Karen Read

John O’Keefe, a 16-year veteran of the Boston Police Department, died of blunt force trauma and hypothermia on January 29, 2022, after being found on a fellow Boston Police Officer’s front lawn during a blizzard. His girlfriend, Karen Read, is charged with allegedly backing into John with her SUV, and leaving him to die in the cold after a night of drinking. But her defense team poses a different theory – a massive cover-up spanning law enforcement agencies across Massachusetts. Karen’s first case ended in a mistrial on July 1, 2024. Her second trial is set to begin in April 2025. Join us in watching the trial and get daily recaps on Crime Junkie Jury , hosted by Brandi Churchwell, only on YouTube.

IDENTIFIED: Midtown Jane Doe

In 2003, construction workers in Hell’s Kitchen, New York, discovered a concrete tomb hidden in the basement of a run-down building. Inside were the remains of a young woman, hogtied with pantyhose and electrical cords, this gruesome scene was more than shocking—it was deeply calculated. It took more than two decades for investigators to identify her as 16-year-old Patricia McGlone, who was last seen in 1969. But despite finally giving her a name, her killer remains at large. Now, police are asking for your help to find the person responsible and bring Patricia the justice she’s been denied for far too long. If you know anything about Patricia McGlone or the circumstances of her murder, please contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS. $ Patricia’s childhood home was located at 375 52nd Street in Brooklyn, New York.

MURDERED: Helen Betty Osborne

The discovery of 19-year-old Helen Betty Osborne’s body should have outraged the residents of The Pas, Manitoba. Yet, the truth of what happened to her, and who killed her, would remain an open secret for years. But, like all secrets, what happened that night eventually came to light – and upended over a decade of sinister silence. There is a memorial fund in Betty’s name through the National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation .
