Welcome everyone to Podcast 69 South, where we cuss and discuss true crime, code cases, current events, and hot topics, along with our state of society today.
00:00:11.599 --> 00:00:13.039
This is your trigger warning.
00:00:13.119 --> 00:00:18.320
Our podcast content is produced for adult listeners 18 years of age and older.
00:00:18.480 --> 00:00:22.239
We discuss situations that may be offensive and triggering to some listeners.
00:00:22.480 --> 00:00:25.199
Sit back, relax, and enjoy.
00:01:00.560 --> 00:01:04.959
She also signaled she plans to sue Canton police and state police.
00:01:05.200 --> 00:01:19.280
In a statement, Reed's defense team says, quote, our complaint lays out in stark detail the malicious prosecutions, the conspiracy, the civil rights violations, and the intentional misconduct that these defendants visited upon an innocent woman.
00:01:19.599 --> 00:01:21.840
Welcome back, everybody, to 69 South.
00:01:21.920 --> 00:01:25.040
I hope you guys had a super, super good Thanksgiving.
00:01:25.200 --> 00:01:27.439
And we're coming at you on Black Friday.
00:01:27.599 --> 00:01:33.760
I'm Chop, your host, and right next to me, my co-pilot, Julie, is right here.
00:01:34.319 --> 00:01:35.359
I'm here.
00:01:35.840 --> 00:01:39.040
First of all, we'd like to give a shout out to our new Patreon members.
00:01:39.200 --> 00:01:51.200
We got Aunt Mandy, and we got Stephen Hubbard, and he wanted us to reiterate to you guys that the fucking struggle is real, and he's going through it right now.
00:01:51.280 --> 00:01:53.439
So shout out to you, little hub.
00:01:54.159 --> 00:02:04.640
So as you could probably tell from the beginning of our intro, we're gonna talk about the Karen Reed civil case, which we've always been infatuated with this case.
00:02:04.719 --> 00:02:14.159
So and she's coming for every single one of them who she says framed her as she should.
00:02:14.560 --> 00:02:18.080
As she should, and I'm glad she is because that whole thing was a farce.
00:02:18.639 --> 00:02:19.439
Absolutely.
00:02:19.520 --> 00:02:27.599
And I want to jump into this 47-page complaint because I I think this is what everybody's really been waiting on.
00:02:27.759 --> 00:02:29.520
They want to see this go to trial.
00:02:30.000 --> 00:02:38.240
Before we get right into it, though, we have been doing a daily show called the Daily Detour, and it's available on Patreon.
00:02:38.319 --> 00:02:49.759
And if you would like to help us keep the heat and the lights on in the studio and enjoy these new episodes, these daily episodes go to www.patreon.com forward slash 69 South.
00:02:50.080 --> 00:02:55.199
We're gonna release a couple of them so you guys can get a free taste of it, but let's get on with it.
00:02:55.439 --> 00:03:00.400
So I'm gonna jump in with the introduction right here of Karen Reed's complaint.
00:03:00.479 --> 00:03:01.680
She's the plaintiff.
00:03:01.919 --> 00:03:24.080
She's suing disgraced Massachusetts state police trooper Michael Proctor, his sergeant Yuri Bukinick, Lieutenant Brian Tully, and of course the culprits in this frame job, Brian Albert, Nicole Albert, Jennifer McCabe, Matthew McCabe, and Brian Higgins.
00:03:25.280 --> 00:03:26.560
And here we go.
00:03:26.800 --> 00:04:00.479
So for three and a half years, plaintiff Karen Reed was wrongly accused of a homicide and subjected to suspicion, arrest, two prosecutions, and public condemnation, all resulting from the gross misconduct of the Massachusetts State Police and those working in tandem with the Massachusetts State Police to shield from liability the party or parties responsible for the death of Boston police officer John O'Keefe III.
00:04:00.960 --> 00:04:04.879
Now, after being acquitted of all charges relating to Mr.
00:04:04.960 --> 00:04:14.560
O'Keefe's death, Miss Reed brings this action to recover for and address the actions of those actually involved in Mr.
00:04:14.639 --> 00:04:27.680
O'Keeffe's death and the law enforcement officers who failed to ensure that justice was sought and served in the aftermath of January 29th, 2022.
00:04:28.000 --> 00:04:31.199
See, Karen Reed did not kill her then boyfriend, Mr.
00:04:31.360 --> 00:04:32.079
O'Keefe.
00:04:32.319 --> 00:04:35.839
Rather, in the early morning hours of January 29th, Mr.
00:04:35.920 --> 00:04:53.120
O'Keefe was killed in the defendants Brian and Nicole Albert's home on 34 Fairview Road in Canton in an altercation during a late night house party with other defendants, collectively called the quote unquote house defendants after a night of heavy drinking.
00:04:53.279 --> 00:04:55.519
The house defendants responsible for Mr.
00:04:55.600 --> 00:05:08.319
O'Keefe's death, some of whom had professional experience with police investigations, concocted a plan immediately after the altercation to avoid culpability and to frame Karen Reed.
00:05:08.639 --> 00:05:22.480
Rather than call first responders for help, among other actions, the house defendants concocted a Google conducted, sorry, a Google search for information about House Long to Die in Cold.
00:05:22.720 --> 00:05:23.600
That was in quotes.
00:05:24.079 --> 00:05:26.399
That was Jen McCabe at 227.
00:05:26.879 --> 00:05:35.600
Yeah, and she must have been fucking freezing to death because instead of HOW, she put HOS, and that's been a meme and a fucking joke to everybody.
00:05:35.839 --> 00:05:37.839
House Long to Die in Code.
00:05:38.079 --> 00:05:38.800
Moved Mr.
00:05:38.959 --> 00:05:44.959
O'Keeffe's body outside and placed him on the Albert's front lawn near the road to make it look like Mr.
00:05:45.040 --> 00:05:51.360
O'Keefe was hit by a vehicle and that he died in the snow without ever coming into the house that night.
00:05:51.519 --> 00:05:51.839
Mr.
00:05:51.920 --> 00:05:57.360
O'Keeffe's body remained on the Albert's lawn until Karen Reed found him later that morning.
00:05:57.680 --> 00:05:59.199
And I want to say this real quick.
00:06:06.560 --> 00:06:07.439
Go back and check it out.
00:06:07.759 --> 00:06:08.959
A bunch of our episodes.
00:06:09.120 --> 00:06:12.399
It's like in the early episodes of ours that we did this.
00:06:12.560 --> 00:06:17.439
You have to go listen to it before you listen to this so you can understand everything that's going on.
00:06:17.839 --> 00:06:21.839
So And we're not we're not saying what we're reading here is facts.
00:06:21.920 --> 00:06:24.399
We are literally just reading from the lawsuit.
00:06:24.480 --> 00:06:28.160
So all this is alleged and what she claims.
00:06:28.319 --> 00:06:29.839
What she's claiming, yes, absolutely.
00:06:30.160 --> 00:06:41.839
So from the beginning, investigators from the Massachusetts State Police allowed the House defendants to direct the investigation away from themselves and towards Miss Reed.
00:06:42.000 --> 00:06:49.120
The House defendants were a well-connected and close social group with a strong ties to law enforcement.
00:06:49.360 --> 00:06:56.240
The Alberts are a prominent family in Canton, and the investigating police officers knew them well.
00:06:56.560 --> 00:07:04.879
The lead investigator for MSP, Michael Proctor, grew up in Canton and resides there to this day.
00:07:05.199 --> 00:07:10.319
He has been and remains close personal friends with the Albert family.
00:07:10.639 --> 00:07:24.560
House defendant Brian Albert was a longtime Boston police officer, and House Defendant Brian Higgins was an agent with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms and Explosives.
00:07:24.879 --> 00:07:36.560
Now adhering to the unwritten rule of protecting their own, Proctor and his MSP colleagues intentionally disregarded the obvious and compelling evidence tying the House defendants to Mr.
00:07:36.639 --> 00:07:37.839
O'Keeffe's murder.
00:07:38.000 --> 00:07:39.199
Specifically, Mr.
00:07:39.360 --> 00:07:43.759
O'Keefe's injury were consistent with a physical altercation.
00:07:43.920 --> 00:07:54.399
He had bruises and lacerations on his face and a deep gash in the back of his head, suggesting that he was punched and fell backwards, hitting his head on a rigid surface.
00:07:54.720 --> 00:08:00.160
He also had a dog bite wounds and scratches on his right arm and forearm.
00:08:00.399 --> 00:08:01.600
Equally evident, Mr.
00:08:01.759 --> 00:08:06.560
O'Keefe did not have a single injury consistent with being struck by a vehicle.
00:08:06.800 --> 00:08:25.839
He did not have any broken bones or even a bruise on his legs, feet, arms, shoulders, torso, back, ribs, or anywhere below his neck that a medical examiner would otherwise expect to find on a person struck and killed by an impact from a three-ton vehicle.
00:08:26.160 --> 00:08:35.279
And to erase any doubt, the Commonwealth's own medical examiner, the pathologist who conducted the autopsy for the Commonwealth, concluded that Mr.
00:08:35.440 --> 00:08:39.440
O'Keeffe's body showed no signs of a vehicular strike.
00:08:39.679 --> 00:08:44.639
I have to agree with that because many of you have studied this case extensively.
00:08:45.039 --> 00:08:46.480
For like three years.
00:08:46.720 --> 00:09:00.080
Yeah, I mean, she would have literally had uh it just didn't fucking happen the way the Commonwealth and the MSP and the fucking Albert said it did, because dude got his ass whooped and fucking beat to death.
00:09:00.240 --> 00:09:08.240
I mean, it would have had to take surgical precision and he would have had to have been run over two or three times.
00:09:08.399 --> 00:09:11.759
It just none of it makes fucking any sense at all in my mind.
00:09:12.000 --> 00:09:12.639
In my mind.
00:09:13.120 --> 00:09:31.120
Now, despite that, Proctor and others shielded the House defendants by intentionally sidestepping fundamental investigation procedures propelled by the House defendants, false statements, including that Mr.
00:09:31.279 --> 00:09:33.440
O'Keefe never went into the House.
00:09:33.840 --> 00:09:49.919
Proctor reported in text messages just hours into the investigation that the House defendants weren't going to get any shit for this because he's meaning Brian Albert is a Boston cop.
00:09:50.320 --> 00:10:00.639
And that Proctor was determined to make the investigation cut and dry by bringing charges against the girl.
00:10:01.039 --> 00:10:05.279
Indeed, Proctor made his intentions clear in writing.
00:10:05.600 --> 00:10:09.440
Karen Reed had zero chance of skating.
00:10:09.600 --> 00:10:10.639
She's fucked.
00:10:10.879 --> 00:10:14.799
These are quotes from his text messages, actual quotes, by the way.
00:10:15.120 --> 00:10:18.879
This pronouncement was a mere 16 hours after Mr.
00:10:19.039 --> 00:10:30.240
O'Keeffe's body was discovered on the lawn of Brian and Nicole Albert, and Proctor had not even walked into their home.
00:10:30.639 --> 00:10:32.720
Take a second for that to sink in.
00:10:33.120 --> 00:10:36.240
He's a state police detective investigator.
00:10:36.480 --> 00:10:37.120
Friends.
00:10:37.360 --> 00:10:49.679
Friends with the cops, and 16 hours without even going into the house where the crime scene was located, literally said he's gonna bring charges against a girl and she's fucked.
00:10:49.840 --> 00:10:51.440
Zero chance of her skating.
00:10:51.600 --> 00:10:57.679
I mean, this dude's either fucking psychic or it's the blue wall that they talk about.
00:10:58.159 --> 00:11:05.279
Now true to his promise, Proctor and his colleagues did not search the house for blood evidence resulting from the gash to the back of Mr.
00:11:05.440 --> 00:11:09.759
O'Keeffe's head or for fingerprints or for DNA evidence.
00:11:10.000 --> 00:11:12.960
Proctor did not search the house despite the fact that Mr.
00:11:13.120 --> 00:11:23.120
O'Keeffe was discovered without a winter coat, without the hat that several witnesses said that he had been wearing on that night, and without his left shoe.
00:11:23.279 --> 00:11:29.600
At Proctor's direction, the house was never processed by a criminalist or even photographed.
00:11:29.919 --> 00:11:37.360
No member of the MSP, including Proctor, set foot inside Thor 34 Fairview for nearly a week.
00:11:37.519 --> 00:11:44.960
The police did not examine or take evidence from the Alberts German Shepherd that was in the house on January 29th.
00:11:45.120 --> 00:11:50.639
That's a dog that had a long history of attacking other dogs and people.
00:11:51.120 --> 00:12:07.840
Neither Proctor nor any of the MSP troopers conducted physical examinations of the house defendants for evidence of involvement in the altercation, such as marks on their hands, knuckles, or face, or bruises on their bodies.
00:12:08.080 --> 00:12:12.559
They did not seize or search the house defendants' phones.
00:12:12.799 --> 00:12:24.960
They conducted only perfunctory, unrecorded conversation with Proctor's friends and acquaintances without any attempt to corroborate their stories.
00:12:25.279 --> 00:12:33.919
They permitted would-be witnesses to communicate with each other and coordinate their stories before any formal interviews.
00:12:34.080 --> 00:12:41.200
They allowed critical evidence to be manipulated in some instances and outright destroyed in others.
00:12:41.440 --> 00:13:07.600
In short, by focusing the investigation solely on Miss Reed as implicitly directed by the House defendants through the misrepresentations they made to police, Proctor and his colleagues disregarded and failed to obtain pertinent interviews and other critical evidence from the House defendants that cannot now be recovered or recreated.
00:13:08.080 --> 00:13:09.440
And I'm sorry, man.
00:13:09.519 --> 00:13:12.799
I'm just saying, now if it wasn't a cop.
00:13:13.039 --> 00:13:25.360
If they would have pulled up to my house in the early morning and found a dude, the back of his head gashed open, looked like he'd went two or three rounds with Mike Tyson, his eyes fucking swelled up.
00:13:25.519 --> 00:13:28.080
Um They'd have put him putting you in a handcuff.
00:13:28.320 --> 00:13:30.240
Fuck, yeah, they'd have put me in a handcuffs.
00:13:30.320 --> 00:13:34.559
Search warrants would have been served on the house, they would have dumped my dresser drawers out.
00:13:34.799 --> 00:13:36.480
It would have been a fucking mess.
00:13:36.639 --> 00:13:37.200
No way.
00:13:37.360 --> 00:13:40.480
I mean, it's just it's it's almost comical.
00:13:40.720 --> 00:13:41.759
It's almost comical.
00:13:41.840 --> 00:13:42.159
It is.
00:13:42.240 --> 00:13:45.919
It's fucking disgusting, really, what they've put this woman through.
00:13:46.559 --> 00:14:01.600
Detective Proctor also secretly communicated with the Alberts on his personal phone, deliberately back channeling those communications to circumvent his state-issued device and used his sister as a conduit.
00:14:01.840 --> 00:14:17.600
For instance, on multiple occasions, Proctor disclosed critical and confidential information about the investigation to his sister, who then passed on the information to her close friend, guess Julie Albert, Brian Albert's sister-in-law.
00:14:17.759 --> 00:14:25.679
Julie Albert then passed the same information on to the rest of her family and the house defendants.
00:14:25.840 --> 00:14:43.919
Part of these communications included Julie Albert's promise to buy Procter a quote unquote thank you gift for handling this investigation in a manner that intentionally avoided implication of the house defendants and singularly focused on Miss Reed.
00:14:44.240 --> 00:14:56.879
Proctor then went so far as to manufacture evidence to ensure that Miss Reed, not his friends and fellow law enforcement officers, was blamed for Mr.
00:14:56.960 --> 00:14:58.480
O'Keeffe's death.
00:14:59.679 --> 00:15:03.519
This included planting evidence at the scene on Mr.
00:15:03.679 --> 00:15:10.879
O'Keefe's clothes and on Miss Reed's vehicle to support the false narrative that Miss Reed hit Mr.
00:15:10.960 --> 00:15:14.480
O'Keeffe with her car, even though he knew Mr.
00:15:14.639 --> 00:15:24.159
O'Keeffe's injuries were inconsistent with a motor vehicle strike and consistent with a physical altercation and dog attack.
00:16:07.720 --> 00:16:19.480
Far from conducting an objective investigation with integrity, Proctor personally sexualized and dehumanized Miss Reed throughout his investigation.
00:16:19.720 --> 00:16:36.759
Specifically, Proctor's private communication to his high school buddies, sister, and Massachusetts state police colleagues that he believed would never be discovered exposed the corruption and bias at the core of MSP's entire investigation.
00:16:37.000 --> 00:16:55.080
Specifically, only hours into the investigation, in a text chain with eight of his high school buddies, Proctor stated that Miss Reed is a and I quote whack job cunt, retarded, a nutbag, and a babe with no ass.
00:16:55.320 --> 00:17:05.240
Proctor further ridiculed and derided Miss Reed for her serious medical condition, stating that, quote, her balloon knot leaked poo.
00:17:05.639 --> 00:17:17.000
In other private messages to his MSP supervisors and colleagues, Proctor bragged that while conducting a search of Miss Reed's phone, he was looking for naked pictures of Miss Reed.
00:17:17.240 --> 00:17:22.119
Disappointed, he reported that there were, quote, no nudes so far.
00:17:22.359 --> 00:17:28.279
In an unfiltered utterance, Proctor revealed to his mindset, hopefully she kills herself.
00:17:28.680 --> 00:17:29.240
Wow.
00:17:29.480 --> 00:17:30.759
What a motherfucker, man.
00:17:31.000 --> 00:17:46.680
Can you imagine how humiliated and embarrassed his wife is knowing that he's supposed to be this detective with all this integrity and looking through her phone and he's really looking for nudes and thinking that she's hot even if her asshole leaks.
00:17:46.919 --> 00:17:48.279
And it's a flat ass.
00:17:48.519 --> 00:17:52.439
I'd punch you right in your mouth if you ever did some shit like that to me.
00:17:52.679 --> 00:17:54.839
I wouldn't do no shit like that for one.
00:17:55.480 --> 00:18:00.519
But and then to say hopefully she kills herself, I bet he about fucking shit.
00:18:00.839 --> 00:18:02.039
When they got these messages.
00:18:02.199 --> 00:18:04.279
Oh man, you could just see the look on his face.
00:18:04.359 --> 00:18:05.559
Because we watched this trial.
00:18:05.720 --> 00:18:08.919
You could just see the look on his his oh fuck look on his face.
00:18:09.000 --> 00:18:10.679
Like he wanted to fucking puke.
00:18:10.919 --> 00:18:13.399
And in the trial, they made him repeat his face.
00:18:13.639 --> 00:18:14.759
Absolutely, man.
00:18:15.159 --> 00:18:27.240
So indeed, Proctor's supervisors and the Massachusetts state police knew about the condemn knew about and condoned Proctor's unlawful contact conduct.
00:18:28.039 --> 00:18:34.599
And in some instances, expressly encouraged this flagrant abuse of power.
00:18:34.919 --> 00:18:49.079
For example, on one occasion, Proctor's immediate supervisor, Yuri Bukinick, responded with a thumbs up emoji to a text calling Miss Reed retarded.
00:18:50.039 --> 00:19:05.159
Proctor's supervisors in the MSP knew Proctor had a close relationship with the Alberts, and that he made no secret of his bias against Miss Reed, demonstrating a clear prejudice against her from the outset.
00:19:05.639 --> 00:19:29.000
Relying on manufactured evidence, actively ignoring exculpatory evidence, and without investigation, obvious signs pointing to the House defendants, the Commonwealth secured two separate arrest warrants for Miss Reed and a knowingly biased indictment against her, and then wrongfully prosecuted her for murder, not once, but twice.
00:19:29.639 --> 00:19:42.199
As alleged below, these unlawful acts not only underlie plaintiff's meritless wrongful death claim against Miss Reed, but they also formed the foundation for Miss Reed's claims against the House defendants.
00:19:42.439 --> 00:19:44.039
These acts violated Mrs.
00:19:44.119 --> 00:19:53.720
Reed's state and federal constitutional rights, the Massachusetts Civil Right Act, and well established Massachusetts Tort for Principles.
00:19:53.959 --> 00:20:11.559
On June 18, 2025, after a two-month trial, a jury rejected the Commonwealth's theory, in part because of the overwhelming physical, scientific, and medical evidence established that Miss Reed's vehicle did not strike Mr.
00:20:11.720 --> 00:20:13.240
O'Keefe and that Mr.
00:20:13.319 --> 00:20:17.079
O'Keeffe's injuries did not come from a vehicle strike.
00:20:17.319 --> 00:20:23.559
Although Miss Reed was ultimately and finally acquitted of all charges related to the death of Mr.
00:20:23.720 --> 00:20:35.959
O'Keefe, Proctor was fired, and nearly every MSP officer in Procter's chain of command was disciplined for their egregious abuses and misdeed.
00:20:36.599 --> 00:20:47.559
The Commonwealth still has not sought or provided justice, not to the O'Keefe family, not to the community at large, and certainly not to Miss Reed.
00:20:47.879 --> 00:20:53.480
In response, the Commonwealth has offered only empty platitudes instead of solutions.
00:20:53.720 --> 00:21:12.919
The head of MSP, Colonel Jeffrey Noble, stated the events of the last three years have challenged our department to thoroughly review our actions and take concrete steps to deliver advanced investigative training, ensure appropriate oversight, and enhance accountability.
00:21:13.159 --> 00:21:20.279
Under my direction as Colonel, the state police has and will continue to improve in these regards.
00:21:20.519 --> 00:21:36.839
In an interview with the Boston Herald, Noble acknowledgment the systematic nature of MSP's conduct in Miss Reed's case, quote, I'm eyes wide open to a culture issue that I have concerns with as it relates to Trooper Proctor.
00:21:37.000 --> 00:21:43.879
These hollow words do nothing to right the devastating wrongs that have been visited on Miss Reed.
00:21:44.119 --> 00:21:56.359
Colonel Noble's words confess a sickness deep in the marrow of MSP, but offer no remedy, no medicine, no relief to someone so brutally victimized by it.
00:21:56.679 --> 00:22:27.399
On Wednesday, March 19, 2025, following the public disclosure of Proctor's illegal and unethical conduct related to the Reed investigation, the MSP's trial board found Michael Proctor guilty of a Class A violation, which included that he was biased in his dealings with a homicide suspect and or brought otherwise himself and the Massachusetts State Police into disrepute.
00:22:27.959 --> 00:22:39.159
Miss Reed's life was not merely turned upside down by the MSP and the House defendant's misconduct, it was forever changed by the defendant's transgressions and wrongdoing.
00:22:39.399 --> 00:22:47.639
The years of uncertainty and unimaginable emotional distress have left lasting scars that will never be healed.
00:22:47.799 --> 00:22:49.879
At the same time, neither Mr.
00:22:50.119 --> 00:22:53.399
O'Keefe nor his family have received justice.
00:22:53.559 --> 00:22:56.439
His killer or killers still walk free.
00:22:56.599 --> 00:23:11.799
By asserting her claims against MSP, Proctor, his supervisors, and the town of Canton and the House defendants, Miss Reed seeks at the minimum to confront and redress these wrongs and others.
00:23:12.039 --> 00:23:21.959
More importantly, she seeks to force the Commonwealth to fulfill its duty to stop law enforcement from trampling the innocent to protect their own.
00:23:22.439 --> 00:23:26.919
The next part of the lawsuit is section two, and it talks about the parties.
00:23:27.000 --> 00:23:32.439
It talks about plaintiff Karen Reed, reads resides in North Dynamic, Massachusetts.
00:23:32.519 --> 00:23:37.399
Then it goes down to list Michael Proctor, the former MSP trooper.
00:23:37.720 --> 00:24:44.569
He resides in Canton, Massachusetts, and he's being sued in his personal capacity.
00:24:44.890 --> 00:24:51.529
Then it goes to Defendant Sergeant Yuri Bukinick, also an MSP trooper.
00:24:52.009 --> 00:24:56.890
He resides in Staughton, Massachusetts, being sued in his personal capacity.
00:24:57.130 --> 00:25:01.849
Then we go to defendant Lieutenant Brian Tully, an MSP trooper.
00:25:02.329 --> 00:25:09.769
He lives in Hingham, Massachusetts, being sued in his personal capac or personal capacity.
00:25:10.089 --> 00:25:15.130
And then we have defendants Brian and Nicole Albert out of Norwood, Massachusetts.
00:25:15.370 --> 00:25:25.210
Jennifer and Matthew McCabe, they reside in Canton, Massachusetts, and defendant Brigan Higgins, and he lives in Sandwich, Massachusetts.
00:25:26.089 --> 00:25:54.730
Miss Reed filed this um court case in Bristol, Massachusetts, where she resides, and the court has determined that they do have jurisdiction over all claims in this case pursuant to GL twelve, blah blah blah, and with regards to the federal claims pursuant to Resnesnik versus the chief of police, 374 Mass 475, blah blah blah.
00:25:54.970 --> 00:26:00.490
And then we move on to part four of this complaint, which is facts common to all accounts.
00:26:00.730 --> 00:26:03.210
And this is where we get into talking about Mr.
00:26:03.289 --> 00:26:04.970
O'Keefe's death.
00:26:05.609 --> 00:26:07.289
Before his death, Mr.
00:26:07.370 --> 00:26:09.609
O'Keeffe and Miss Reed were dating.
00:26:09.769 --> 00:26:13.210
On the evening of January 28, 2022, Mr.
00:26:13.289 --> 00:26:16.490
O'Keeffe and Miss Reed went out for the night.
00:26:16.730 --> 00:26:17.849
They first went to C.
00:26:18.009 --> 00:26:18.089
F.
00:26:18.250 --> 00:26:21.849
McCarthy's in Canton, Massachusetts, where they had several drinks.
00:26:22.089 --> 00:26:25.769
Then they went to the Waterfall Bar and Grill in Canton.
00:26:26.569 --> 00:26:36.650
There they met with a group of acquaintances, including Brian Albert, his wife Nicole Albert, Brian's brother, Chris Albert, and his wife Julie.
00:26:36.890 --> 00:26:45.609
They then met with Jennifer McCabe, Nicole's sister and Brian's sister-in-law, her husband Matthew McCabe, and Brian Higgins.
00:26:45.769 --> 00:26:54.170
The group of acquaintances had several drinks and planned to continue the party back at the Albert's home in Canton at 34 Fairview Road.
00:26:54.410 --> 00:27:00.569
The house defendant Jennifer McCabe told John O'Keefe that he should come to the house.
00:27:14.329 --> 00:27:17.849
Brian Albert and Brian Higgins, now they were close friends.
00:27:18.089 --> 00:27:20.730
Higgins was an officer with the ATF.
00:27:21.529 --> 00:27:31.529
He also was permitted to keep an office at the Canton Police Department alongside Brian Albert's brother, Canton police detective Kevin Albert.
00:27:31.690 --> 00:27:36.809
Kevin Albert had a professional and social relationship with Michael Proctor.
00:27:36.970 --> 00:27:38.730
They were all buddies, basically.
00:27:39.049 --> 00:27:39.609
Absolutely.
00:27:39.849 --> 00:27:42.009
And a lot of them had grew up together.
00:27:42.329 --> 00:27:46.410
Brian and Nicole Albert's son, Brian Albert Jr.
00:27:46.650 --> 00:27:50.490
and his friends were already at the house for Brian Jr.'s birthday.
00:27:50.730 --> 00:27:55.450
In addition, Colin Albert, Brian Albert's nephew, was present.
00:27:55.769 --> 00:27:57.049
Miss Reed and Mr.
00:27:57.210 --> 00:28:02.730
O'Keefe had never been to the house before January 29, 2022.
00:28:03.049 --> 00:28:07.049
They arrived in front of the Albert's home around 1220 AM.
00:28:07.769 --> 00:28:22.250
Miss Reed was reluctant to attend the party for several reasons, including that she was unsure whether they were at the correct location and whether they were even welcome to the late night party.
00:28:22.650 --> 00:28:29.690
mister O'Keefe got out of Miss Reed's SUV and indicated that he would check out the party and report back to her.
00:28:29.930 --> 00:28:38.410
mister O'Keefe walked toward the front door slash garage door area of the house and entered one of the two doors.
00:28:38.650 --> 00:28:42.650
A period of time passed without any word from mister O'Keeffe.
00:28:42.970 --> 00:28:46.890
Miss Reed, who was still hesitant to join, presumed that Mr.
00:28:47.049 --> 00:28:53.609
O'Keeffe intended to stay and therefore she left to go to his house without him.
00:29:03.690 --> 00:29:08.250
During that altercation, the Alberts German Shepherd attacked him, and Mr.
00:29:08.410 --> 00:29:12.410
O'Keeffe sustained multiple dog bites and scratches on his right arm.
00:29:12.569 --> 00:29:17.289
He also suffered an incapacitating gash wound on the back of his head.
00:29:17.529 --> 00:29:17.769
Mr.
00:29:17.930 --> 00:29:22.650
O'Keeffe's head wound was caused by falling backward and striking a rigid surface.
00:29:22.809 --> 00:29:26.490
The Albert's garage contains such surfaces.
00:29:26.809 --> 00:29:35.849
By contrast, the head wound could not have been caused by a vehicle strike or falling backwards onto a flat, cold lawn like the Alberts.
00:29:36.329 --> 00:29:47.769
Because of their knowledge of criminal investigations, the Alberts, the McCaves, and Higgins knew that calling for medical care to help save Mr.
00:29:47.930 --> 00:29:55.609
O'Keefe's life would trigger immediate and irreversible risk of their own criminal exposure.
00:29:56.170 --> 00:30:05.289
Therefore, at least the five of them agreed on a simple plan to exonerate themselves and implicate Miss Reed.
00:30:06.009 --> 00:30:09.210
They would tell anyone who inquired, Mr.
00:30:09.370 --> 00:30:16.569
O'Keefe never entered the house and hide evidence that he was there, including his body.
00:30:17.049 --> 00:30:21.690
This literally sounds like pretty much what fucking happened in my mind.
