| 0:00.0 | This is Hidden Killers Week in review. |
| 0:02.4 | I look back at the most prolific stories of the week. |
| 0:05.2 | This is Hidden Killers with Tony Bruske. |
| 0:08.3 | Here now, Tony Bruske. |
| 0:11.0 | Do you think she's starting to feel the writing on the wall here? |
| 0:14.6 | Do you think she herself is feeling like she's being backed into the corner? |
| 0:18.3 | And do you think the defense team is starting to feel |
| 0:21.1 | that way, too? You know, yes, and I think leading up to this retrial, some would say Carrie Reid was |
| 0:29.8 | kind of brazen. She was kind of audacious. She was kind of out there. You know, she's talking, |

| 1:28.5 | One was the digital forensics expert who did a locational analysis of John O'Keefe's phone, |
| 1:36.2 | and at least for the most part, said that it was very likely to be outside of the home, |
| 1:41.0 | well, there was some cross-examination. |
| 1:42.4 | And then on top of that, I think Burgess's |
| 1:44.4 | testimony was problematic for the defense. There was a recent forensic criminalists on the stand |
| 1:50.8 | who purported to match up some of the plastic debris found on John O'Keefe with the |
| 1:57.8 | broken taillight from Karen Reed's vehicle. |
