John O'Keefe was a veteran Boston Police Officer, he went to a party at a fellow cop's house and ended up dead on the front lawn, how could this happen? May 01, 2023

Show notes

John O'Keefe was found during the early morning hours of January 29, 2022 in the snow, outside a Boston Police Officers's home. Police alleged that he was intentionally run over by his girlfriend. But his injuries and cell phone data suggest something much more sinister may have occurred. John's injuries are much more intense that one would suspect from a very low speed impact. He had several scratches and what appear to be bite marks on his extremities. Karen Read, John's girlfriend was arrested shortly after his death. Cell phone data seems to indicate that John had left the car and made it into the party, while Karen returned home. The party was hosted by another Boston cop and attended by at least one other law enforcement agent. The State Police allege that John was killed before entering the party, his cell phone data suggests he entered the home and even climbed stairs within the house. John was later found dead in the snow, the homeowner never even exited the home, when the police and ambulance arrived. The State Police never even entered the house or questioned the home owner. The trooper who investigated the incident, was close friends with witnesses and probable-possible suspects. One of the witnesses was found to have googled "how long to die in the snow?" During a time when she reportedly thought John was home in bed. The wheels are falling off this case!

Show notes

She stopped at a Burger King located in a rest stop on Route 24. Ally ran into a vile, convicted sex offender-rapist. Paul Leahy was 39yrs old and had 24 convictions on his record, including rape. Leahy cornered Ally in the ladies room and over nine minutes, he stabbed her countless times, as she begged, repeatedly for her life. Ally died in that Burger King bathroom, however an alert Mass State Trooper Lt. Stephen O'Reilly heard the commotion and entered the bathroom and arrested Leahy at gun point. Why was Leahy out of jail with no supervision? Because, Massachusetts, that's why!

Albert DeSalvo was forced to watch his mother have her fingers broken one at a time. His father beat his children frequently and had prostitutes at the house. Albert never had a chance and he transferred his violence to female victims. Albert never served a day for the strangler murders, he was convicted of a string of rapes in the area. Desalvo was a stone killer and Boston would suffer because of his madness.

Craig Price-Dubbed the Warwick slasher in the late 1980's, He appeared affable, however he'd go on to butcher four innocents Mar 27, 2023

Show notes

Craig Price IS the bogeyman, he stabbed a neighbor fifty-eight times, after breaking into her house in 1987, Craig was thirteen years old at the time. Seemingly, he got away with this vicious homicide. Two years later he'd strike again, savaging more neighbors and their children. He went on to kill Joan Heaton 39, her daughter Jennifer age 10 and Melissa age 7. He butchered this family stabbing them in excess of 126 times, between the three of them. He then picked up a kitchen stool and split Melissa's skull open, before skulking off into the night. Craig was soon a suspect as he had stabbed himself during his murderous spree. He would soon confess to the four murders. He thought he'd serve three years, until he reached the age of 18, Craig Price was wrong, thankfully he is still in prison today.

Esteban Carpio- In 2005 Carpio, was in the midst of a five year crime spree, it culminated in the senseless murder of Providence Det. James Allen Mar 19, 2023

Show notes

Esteban Carpio was being sought for the attempted purse snatching and stabbing of an 84 year old woman in Providence, Rhode Island. The police caught up to Carpio and were in the process of interviewing the subject, when he assaulted Det. Jimmy Allen and shot him twice, killing him, within the Providence Police Department. Carpio escaped the station and a manhunt ensued. He was captured and the pursuit of justice began. An attempt at an insanity defense was initiated, however it was unsuccessful. It was soon learned that Esteban Carpio had been on a five year crime spree, racking up 15 arrests in five years. In a sane society Carpio would have been behind bars and Det. Allen, would likely be enjoying his hard earned retirement.

(Replay) The Boston Strangler 1962 part 1- 13 victims, the police were stymied, until a local sex fiend confessed Mar 13, 2023

Show notes

A severely abused child, raised in the depths of the great depression grows into a depraved sadist, that terrorized Boston in the early 1960's. The Boston Police were nowhere near finding the Boston Strangler, until he confessed. A sting of rapes conducted prior to the thirteen murders should have tripped Albert DeSalvo up, however his murderous rampage would not be prevented. There is so much more to the story, in fact did you know that the Boston Strangler escaped from prison and also sold woman's "chokers" from his jail cell? A remake of the movie "The Boston Strangler" originally starring Tony Curtis is beginning filming December 2021. The new movie reportedly stars Keira Knightly.
