Summary

Poor Judgement Or Intent To Destroy Detractors, What Karen Read's Actions Reveal
What kind of person allegedly leaks autopsy photos, doxxes witnesses, and then wonders why people aren't lining up to buy her a sympathy card?

In this deep dive into the twisted saga surrounding Karen Read, retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke unpacks the bizarre and allegedly self-destructive relationship between Read and blogger "Turtleboy." With over 40 hours of recorded calls between them, it's less “strategic defense” and more “public therapy session meets content goldmine.” Dreeke offers psychological insight into how Read’s apparent need for external validation may have collided head-on with Turtleboy’s thirst for attention—resulting in a partnership that could be doing more harm than help.

From the rabid loyalty of Read’s core followers (who apparently treat due process like an optional side dish) to the prosecution’s tightening strategy now that Proctor is offstage, we explore how all this could play with a jury already bombarded by chaos. And let’s not forget the bigger question: when does poor judgment stop being poor and start looking a lot like guilty?

Is Karen Read’s alleged pattern of behavior simply a personality in free fall—or the roadmap to a conviction?

This is Hidden Killers with Tony Bruske. Here now, Tony Bruske.

0:06.5

What do you think it says about what the heck was going on here? This is just complete opinion and conjecture with Reed and the blogger where you have 40 plus hours of calls, at least of what we know of allegedly.

0:22.0

Does that suggest something strategic that's going on there?

0:25.4

Does that suggest, you know, she certainly seems to be someone who likes attention.

0:31.1

And if you got someone that's given you a ton of attention, like the blogger been, or has been, you may lead into that.

0:40.7

You may feed into that, especially when you have a lot of people that are going, I think you

0:44.1

may have killed someone.

0:47.0

What is that, is that just as simple as that is?

0:49.4

It's just, it kept feeding her ego and feeding a narrative that she wanted to believe and he was more

0:55.0

than willing to be that voice and to be that guy that was going to keep given that to her.

1:01.7

Yeah, I think, I always think and try to go for the lowest common denominator and keep things

1:07.1

simple. And I think the blogger saw an opportunity to have a case that could bring

1:13.4

some attention to him as a writer, as a blogger, or whatever attention he's speaking. And again,

1:18.9

not saying it wasn't for the right purpose or anything like that, definitely not going against

1:23.8

motives here at all, but it's just the behaviors that say this is an opportunity to, to partner with someone, granted. Now, here's the other thing, too, is like, you know, all people that produce social content like we do, we're looking for people to look at our content. And so we try to grab big cases like this to try to, you know, add some value, add some narrative, add some thoughts and opinions that people want to

1:44.5

look at. So obviously this is what the blogger is going to do. But what happens next is,

1:49.3

is that you're now going to, you need content to talk about. And so he actually was able to latch

1:53.7

on to her and she was talking to him. And so he's feeding that need for validation, that need

2:00.2

for non-judgmental validation and seeking

2:03.8

those thoughts and opinions and making it about her. And I'm going to throw on another conjecture on top of this.

2:09.3

She appears to me to have what's someone called that do personality typing, you know, an extroverted

2:15.1

thinking function. In other words, she thinks out loud
