About

Connor Keefe, a Massachusetts State Police trooper assigned to the Norfolk District Attorney’s Office, testified that he extracted data from phones obtained from Jennifer McCabe and Kerry Roberts but did not analyze either phone. He described bagging items found by a search team at 34 Fairview Road, including a black Nike shoe. He explained that the time written on an evidence bag could mark when it was sealed rather than when the item was found. Under defense questioning, Keefe identified Michael Proctor as the lead investigator. He said Proctor wrote a report after an interview with Sarah Levinson and analyzed surveillance videos that Keefe and Sergeant Yuri Bukhenik had retrieved. Keefe also testified that he attended John O’Keefe’s autopsy, observed injuries to his arm, and spoke with Dr. Irini Scordi-Bello about facts known to investigators.
