Summary
In today’s explosive courtroom developments, the Karen Read murder trial took a dramatic turn — and it all centers around a single Google search. Digital forensic expert Dr. Jessica Hyde testified that Jennifer McCabe’s infamous query, “how long to die in cold,” was not made at 2:27AM as the defense has long claimed, but rather at 6:24AM — after John O’Keefe’s body was already found in the snow.
This seemingly small timestamp may prove devastating to the defense’s alternate timeline, which has relied heavily on the claim that McCabe searched those chilling words hours before John was discovered — implying foreknowledge and, possibly, a broader conspiracy. But according to Hyde’s expert analysis, what really happened is far more damning to Karen Read’s version of events.
We break down exactly what Dr. Hyde told the jury, why the 6:24AM timestamp matters, how the browser tab data works, and how the defense tried — and failed — to discredit her. You'll hear how the courtroom responded to the testimony, why Hyde’s contacts with Lt. Brian Tully were brought up, and what it all means for Karen Read’s future.
Was the digital trail the prosecution's smoking gun? Or just another twist in an already chaotic trial?
This video is a must-watch for anyone following the Karen Read case, true crime obsessives, or legal junkies trying to parse fact from fiction in one of the most talked-about trials of the year.

| 0:00.0 | This is the Hidden Killers podcast with Tony Bruske and continuing coverage of the case against Karen Reed. |
| 0:07.5 | It was a piece of red plastic that started it all, small, jagged, the kind of thing you'd barely notice in a parking lot unless someone was dead in the snow next to it. |
| 0:22.9 | That's what the prosecution opened with in the Karen Reed trial on May 7, 2025. |
| 0:29.5 | Broken shards from a taillight, a single black sneaker, and some blood that stood out bright against the fading white snow. That's the story they're |
| 0:39.5 | sticking with. The Karen Reed trial then reversed over to her boyfriend, Boston police |
| 0:46.9 | officer John O'Keefe, sometime in the early morning hours of January 29th, 2022, after netted drinking and fighting, she allegedly left him |
| 0:57.5 | there in the snow after hitting him. That the evidence speaks for itself. That is what the |
| 1:05.9 | prosecution is stating as of right now. |
| 1:16.4 | But evidence only speaks if you ask the right questions, and if the person holding it doesn't forget to put it in a bag. |
| 1:19.6 | Tripper Connor Keefe was called to the stand to walk the jury through the basics of that |
| 1:23.6 | scene. |
| 1:24.4 | He's with the Massachusetts State Police assigned to the homicide unit under the Norfolk County District Attorney's Office. He shut up at 34 Fairview Road in the morning John's body was found and like any good crime scene tack he got to work, photographing, bagging, measuring, all of it done by the book, or close enough to pass inspection at first. Keep testified about what he collected that day, the most talked about item. |
| 1:47.5 | Those tiny pieces of red plastic believed to be from the rear taillight of Karen Reed's Lexus SUV. |
| 1:55.7 | The implication from the state is clear. |
| 1:57.8 | John O'Keefe didn't just fall in the snow. |
| 2:00.1 | He was hit. |
| 2:02.1 | Those plastic bits were the breadcrumbs leading back to Karen's garage. But as the prosecution tried to build a |
| 2:08.5 | clean narrative, things did get a little bit messy. When the defense got their shot, they wasted |
| 2:13.7 | no time pointing out a pretty significant oops. There was a third taillight fragment. |
| 2:19.4 | The prosecution had it. The jury saw it, but Keefe admitted it wasn't originally |
| 2:24.1 | bagged with the others. It had been left out, just sitting there, not logged, not secured, |
| 2:30.2 | in a case that hinges on this car versus man collision theory. |
