About

Prosecution argued the voicemails showed Read had knowledge of O'Keefe's location; defense used the chronological progression — from anger to panic to grief across 53 calls and messages — to argue Read's emotional arc was inconsistent with a perpetrator and consistent with a person who had lost someone.

Eight voicemail recordings left by Karen Read on John O'Keefe's phone from approximately 12:37 AM through 6:08 AM on January 29, 2022, including a message at 12:59 AM containing the words 'John, I'm here with you, kid. Nobody knows f---,' and a final voicemail capturing someone on a 911 call.
