Summary

Five Reasons Why Karen Reads 'House Attack' Defies Logic And ALL Odds, With Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott
Could Karen Read really not remember that night—or was she trying to rewrite it? From her frantic “Did I hit him?” phone calls to the eerie detail of a cracked taillight, this episode dives into the unraveling narrative at the heart of the John O’Keefe case. Psychotherapist and author Shavaun Scott joins us to explore how memory, guilt, and self-preservation collide when trauma meets possible criminal intent. Why did Karen seem ready to accept blame—until she wasn’t? And what happens when a close-knit group of friends suddenly becomes a cast of potential suspects? With new testimony, bizarre shifts in story, and a growing body of doubt, this episode pulls you into the psychological undercurrents of one of the most confounding murder cases in recent memory.
