Amy and Brian Fanion Aug 12, 2024

Show notes

Amy and Brian Fanion were pillars of the Westfield, Massachusetts community. Married for over 30 years, active in their church, Amy was a beloved stay-at-home mom and Brian a well-respected police detective. When Brian called 911 shortly after noon on May 8th, 2018 to say that Amy had shot herself in the head, no one who knew the couple well doubted his story. But as investigators delved into the evidence, a different picture started to emerge. Was it possible that this highly regarded police officer killed his wife in a premeditated, cold-blooded manner?

Karen Read and John O'Keefe - Part 3 of 3 Aug 05, 2024

Show notes

The Karen Read murder trial has captivated the country. Karen is accused of hitting her boyfriend, Boston police officer John O’Keefe, in anger after a night of drinking with friends with her Lexus SUV when she dropped him off at a friend’s house, just after midnight on January 29, 2022 as a blizzard slammed the town of Canton, Massachusetts. After the alleged incident, Karen left the scene of the crime. Her defense made the bold claim that the Massachusetts State Police and the Canton Police Department conspired to cover up John’s murder to protect two law enforcement agents, Brian Higgins and Brian Albert and Brian’s 17-year-old nephew Colin Albert. They argued that the trio beat John and left him in the snow to die by planting evidence and coaching witnesses.
