Margaret O'Keefe

Margaret O’Keefe testified that after her daughter Kristen and Kristen’s husband died, John became the primary guardian of their two young children. Margaret said she now raises the children full-time in Canton. She testified that Kerry Roberts called on the morning of January 29, 2022, to say John had been found in a snowbank, then drove Margaret and her husband to the hospital. During the drive, Margaret spoke with Karen Read, who told her they had gone to a party and she had left John there. At the hospital, Margaret heard Read asking whether John was dead. Later that day, Read came to John’s home with her father and brother. Margaret testified that Read’s father asked to retrieve some of her things. Margaret heard them upstairs for about 10 to 15 minutes but did not see them go up or know what they did or took.
