Summary

Did Karen Read’s own words do more harm than good?

The countdown to Karen Read’s trial is on, and things are getting messy. With the HBO Max and Investigation Discovery docuseries Body in the Snow breaking down the case, the narrative around Read’s alleged involvement in Boston police officer John O’Keefe’s death takes some unexpected turns. Psychotherapist and author Shavaun Scott joins Tony Brueski to sift through the contradictions in Read’s statements, her evolving portrayal of the relationship, and the bizarre dynamics at play. Was it just a tumultuous romance, or is there something more sinister lurking beneath? And most importantly—how does this all stack up in the courtroom?

0:00.0	This is Hidden Killers with Tony Brewski.
0:04.8	We are diving back into the roller coaster that is the Karen Reed case, as her trial is veering ever closer as of right now.
0:15.9	About two, about a week out is really what we are looking at.
0:21.9	The documentary that came out just the other day on HBO Max and investigation discovery,
0:29.0	Body in the Snow, the Trial of Karen Reid, really goes through in great detail and is,
0:34.8	I'm going to be honest here, I think fairly unbiased. I was really thinking this
0:39.6	thing was going to be kind of biased going in on her side, but I think actually more damage
0:44.6	has been done on her side after watching at least the four parts of this. Joining me to discuss
0:49.6	and to break all this down, Chavon Scott, psychotherapist and author, we're going to go through
0:53.5	a lot of clips here from this documentary, Chavon Scott, psychotherapist and author. We're going to go through a lot of clips here from this documentary,
0:57.0	specifically Karen and some of her contradictions, some of her just statements, her mindset at various stages.
1:03.0	Before we do that though, Chavon, overall, I know you've seen this. What's been your reaction so far?
1:09.0	Yeah, I agree with you. She says in the beginning of the
1:12.2	documentary, her reason for doing this was to give her version of the story. I think she used the terms
1:17.2	this is my testimony. And so I expected that it would be very much colored in her favor. And it really
1:23.9	wasn't. They had so many great guests participating. And it really seemed like they were trying to give us all the information in a very clear manner. So I felt it was very fair.
1:35.9	Good producers. It's the ones that do Unsolved Mysteries, the modern day version of Unsolved Mysteries today. And when I first heard, I heard, oh, it's going to be really slanted towards
1:44.8	Karen. I'm like, they don't really produce things like that that are super slanted. So it's turning
1:50.7	out to be very, very compelling. Let's just start here at the beginning with some of these
1:56.1	clips, because, again, there's a lot of them. I've been just kind of going through this and
1:59.9	blowing my mind a little bit as you, when you have lot of them. I've been just kind of going through this and blowing my mind a little bit
2:03.3	when you have some of these pieces in context together, you have so many pieces that she says one
