Karen Read's recent federal filing (Jessica Hyde report) revealed the content of two text messages sent from Jen McCabe’s iPhone at 2:25am on January 29, 2022.
Put in context with the overall activity that night, does anyone find these curious? Can any inferences be drawn (e.g. whether Jen or Matt was operating the phone)? Do we have a better understanding of why Lally sounded like a high school basketball superfan?
Timeline that night:
2:22:35am - Call: (1 sec) Brian Albert --> Brian Higgins
2:22:52am - Call: (22 sec) Brian Higgins --> Brian Albert
2:23:31am - Jen McCabe’s iPhone unlocked
2:25:11am - Jen texts Michelle Gallery & Matt McCabe:
“I am disgusted!!! Can’t stop thinking about it!!! Ur girls should say are we trying to win games or !?!?”
2:25:56am - Jen texts Denise, Coco & Shelly:
“I called dad as well but polly was there”
2:26:37am - 2 screenshots deleted from Jen’s iPhone
2:27:40am - Search: “hos long to die in cold”
2:31:07am - Jen McCabe’s iPhone locked again
Oh well, ain’t that a bitch...
Jen McCabe also called Tom Beatty’s daughter, Erin, during the early morning hours of 1/29/22.
A screenshot from Erin’s phone shows that Colin Albert called Erin at 12:33 AM - only moments after John O’Keefe’s last known interaction with his phone. Now, in this Commonwealth report, Jessica Hyde’s extraction of Jen McCabe’s phone data includes Jen calling Erin at 5:30 AM.
That’s important because after John died, it’s been alleged Erin was pressured to delete this screenshot showing her missed call from Colin. According to prior allegations, she was threatened multiple times and even told “to put a dick in (her) mouth instead of talking so much.”
For more context, Jen called Colin’s mother (Julie Albert) immediately after Karen Read had called her in the morning looking for John. Karen called Jen at 4:53 AM and at 4:55 AM Jen called Julie.
So now we have both Colin Albert and Jen McCabe contacting Erin within 4 hours of each other during the same night. We also have Jen contacting Colin’s mother within seconds of hanging up with John’s girlfriend (who was looking for John as he did not come home).
What exactly was so vital involving the Beatty family in the early hours of January 29th?
Why did Jen McCabe also place 7 calls to Tom Beatty within roughly 30 minutes before finding John?
Why was getting in touch with Colin’s mother so urgent?
Was there originally supposed to be a different story told about what happened to John O’Keefe that night - one that required the Beatty’s involvement? Is this why their family has received such backlash from certain individuals in town? 🧐
As expected, Canton Police Chief Ken Berkowitz and Detective Kevin Albert appear to have been far more involved in the framing of Karen Read for the murder of John O’Keefe than the public was initially led to believe.
Back in 2024, when I began digging deeper into this case, I noticed a consistent pattern: their names were constantly being protected and shielded from scrutiny. Individuals such as Canton town administrator Charlie Doody openly insisted that Berkowitz not be discussed at all, claiming it was necessary to “respect the dead and his family.”
In behavioral and linguistic analysis, distancing or avoidance around a specific topic can often signal discomfort, sensitivity, or knowledge that someone is unwilling to openly discuss. Frequently, it suggests there is more beneath the surface than what is being acknowledged publicly.
Even after the revelations involving fired state trooper Michael Proctor and Kevin Albert’s drinking incident, the independent auditors investigating Canton Police conspicuously avoided naming Albert in their report and presentation. Despite the fact that Albert was disciplined, his name was omitted entirely (even when residents directly pressed for answers during the town’s police audit meeting.) Remember, this was an officer who openly laughed about losing his badge and weapon.
For years, I’ve received tips and information regarding Canton PD, and two names have repeatedly surfaced over and over again: Berkowitz and Albert. Rumors of self-dispatching, private meetings, connections to key individuals, and other concerning allegations have consistently followed them.
These newly surfaced phone logs between Berkowitz and Albert from January 29, 2022, tell a much larger story. They show these men were nowhere near as hands-off as the public was previously told.
Karen Read has officially won her motion to use fired and decertified Massachusetts State Trooper Michael Proctor’s phone extraction in her upcoming civil lawsuit against the Massachusetts State Police and the Canton Police Department.
Judge Doolin has now ruled that the contents of Proctor’s phone can be used in connection with that case, under the same confidentiality terms already in place.
This is the same extraction that defense attorneys have been describing in open court for months. We are talking about texts that include a statement about “kill an N-word in Canton day,” along with explicit images of non-consenting women, anti-LGBTQ rhetoric and messages described as misogynistic, antisemitic, and otherwise offensive.
The Commonwealth tried to prevent this material from being used even though arguments in December showed they did not consent to Canton PD or the POST Commission from obtaining this very phone extraction. That effort failed.
At the same time, Proctor attempted to go through federal court to get early access to investigative materials so he could prepare for his June 8 deposition in the O’Keefe vs Read/Canton bars civil case. He admitted in that filing that he no longer has access to his own case files and that he lost possession of his phone after it was extracted and returned to him. That request for early discovery was denied.
So this is where things stand right now:
Karen Read is allowed to use the phone extraction in her upcoming lawsuit against MSP and Canton PD.
The only known copy of that extraction remains with the Commonwealth.
And Proctor’s own attorney has stated on the record that he has not seen the full contents of it.
Read’s lawsuit against MSP and the town of Canton is expected to be filed as early as May 21, 2026. 🫶
Wait a second 😳 For YEARS you assholes have regurgitated there was no conspiracy & Proctor was “on call ” and assigned to investigate the death of Officer John O’Keefe on the early morning hours of 1/29/22.
The cover up began HERE 🤯

One revelation about Kash Patel that is not getting enough attention is he flies the FBI Jet to Las Vegas most every weekend to “drink to excess” at a private Vegas Club called ’The Poodle Room’.
It would interesting to see if Kash stops in Nashville to pick up his girlfriend in the FBI’s $15,000 an hour Gulfstream 550 V on his way to Vegas. But that is impossible to find out since Kash Patel blocked the FBI G5 from publicly available aircraft tracking sites like FlightAware last November.
What else is Kash Patel hiding? How many times has a drunk Kash Patel spilled his guts about classified information while drunk as a cross eyed skunk at The Poodle Room?
Kash Patel is a clear national security risk who should be fired immediately

Brian Tully has decided to retire from the Massachusetts State Police one day after federal documents dropped in the Sandra Birchmore case.
Those filings allege that Norfolk County homicide investigators withheld critical evidence from the medical examiner, including DNA tied to the murder weapon, biological evidence from Sandra’s clothing, and data from her phone.
Evidence that could have provided a clearer understanding of the circumstances surrounding her death was never presented. Instead, Sandra’s death was ruled a suicide, a conclusion the office still stands by to this day.
Tully was promoted to detective lieutenant just months into the Birchmore investigation, after nearly a decade working within the Norfolk County DA’s homicide unit. His name, along with John Fanning and Matthew Dunne, appears throughout internal emails tied to the case.
During the first Karen Read trial, Tully testified that detectives do not influence a medical examiner’s ruling. However, he emphasized that investigators are responsible for presenting all relevant evidence and maintaining consistent communication with the ME’s office, both of which directly inform that final determination.
Now, 24 hours after federal investigators allege that critical evidence was withheld, Brian Tully files for retirement.
🗣 If that timing does not raise questions, it should. 🗣
There is clear instability building within the county, including among both past and present leadership. Tully’s abrupt exit does not read like a routine retirement. It reads like someone choosing to step away before the ground shifts further.
Because when things are steady, people do not leave like this. They leave when they know what is coming.
I said it in an interview the other night with @DoctorTurtleboy regarding exactly where I was shot and what I have endured this past year.
Since the NAPD wants to make their first public and also heartless statements tonight:
This is my exit wound.
An inch from my spine.
A bullet went through my chest and came out through my back.
I agree, with most of this. The more likely option was that Higgins jeep was in T. Kellehers driveway. That is why no one saw it, and why if we are to believe the kids testimony, that higgins and Collin never saw each other, and that Caitlan said higgins came in a couple minutes after Brian Coco and caitlan.
Karen Read's taillight was in tact at 5:42am on 1/29/22. New video from Pequitside Farm in Canton shows Karen's SUV being followed by Kerry Robert's vehicle. Jen McCabe is driving Karen's Lexus which is confirmed via John O'Keefe's surveillance footage mere minutes later.
For time reference, they are driving from Jen's house back to John's. This was 20 minutes before pulling up to 34 Fairview Rd.
The footage shows the very taillight that was later seen obliterated in photographs at the Canton Sallyport.
The damage sustained would create a much different light pattern than what's shown in this video.
A reminder:
John's last steps occurred at 12:31am. If the Commonwealth's theory was correct, the taillight would've been damaged at that time..
and that is not what is seen via this footage 5 hours later.
Nothing like the tea being poured directly from the source. ☕️
In this Rotten Mango sneak peek, Karen Read says she made nothing from the ID documentary, "A Body In The Snow" and actually lost money fighting it.
No one on her team was paid. She calls the experience invasive, says she gave full access, and now feels used by the documentarian.
Friends of Karen's, Bentley students, colleagues, and people from her parish (some who traveled on their own dime) were interviewed.. then subsequently were cut.
Meanwhile, interviews made it in from people she says John barely had relationships with, including a sister-in-law he wasn’t close to and individuals Karen never even met during their two-year relationship.
The Rotten Mango Podcast will be out in full on January 12th! 🫶
I’m thrilled to introduce my “Accountability Agenda” to restore trust and confidence in the Norfolk County District Attorney’s Office — and to build an office defined by fairness, competence, trust, and professionalism.
