Welcome to the global phenomenon, Surviving the Survivor,

where we bring you the best guests in all of true crime.

Here's your host, Emmy Award-winning journalist Joel Waldman.

This is a Best Yes Nation.

Welcome to another episode of Surviving the Survivor,

the podcast that promises to bring you the very best guests

in all of true crime and I say on so many shows but this one I mean it

You're gonna be in for a treat with this panel that I'm about to introduce but first on to the story to let you know what

we are breaking down tonight it is the trial for Karen Reed day two in earnest here day two of testimony of the Massachusetts woman.

She's accused in the 2022 death of her Boston police officer

boyfriend John O'Keefe.

Man, that family has had so much tragedy.

His sister died of Gleeo Blasoma back in 2013.

Then his brother-in-law, her husband passed away from a massive heart attack just two months after that,

leaving their kids in the care of John O'Keefe, who also met his own demise on that snowy night in January of 2022.

So no matter which way you slice it,

let's think about the O'Keefe's tonight.

You can see the pain in the parents' faces when you are watching the trial who are ironically sitting

literally an arm's distance away from Karen Reed and her defense.

Karen Reed meanwhile has pleaded not guilty to charges of second degree murder,

motor vehicle manslaughter, and leaving the scene of a collision in connection with John O'Keefe's death.

And now on to the best guests.
