BRAINTREE (CBS) - Hundreds of people lined up for hours on a frigid Sunday afternoon to attend the wake of Officer John O'Keefe in Braintree. The wake was held at St. Francis of Assisi Church.

Officer O'Keefe was 46 years old and a 16-year veteran of the Boston Police Department.

On Sunday, many of his fellow officers, along with Boston Mayor Michelle Wu, were in attendance for the wake.

"I have never seen so many people, I'm going to start crying, pay their respects," said longtime Braintree resident Grace Walling. "He was well-loved, well-liked, by all."

O'Keefe was found dead on the morning of January 29, just as the blizzard was moving through the area. Investigators said he was laying in the snow in front of a home in Canton.

Massachusetts University Lecturer Indicted on Second-Degree Murder Charge After Allegedly Hitting Her Cop Boyfriend with Car, Leaving Him to Die in Snow

A Massachusetts grand jury has indicted a woman on second-degree murder and other charges after her police officer boyfriend turned up dead in the snow earlier this year.

“John’s dead; I wonder if he’s dead,” Read allegedly told one of her friends during a 5 a.m. call, according to WBTS. “It’s snowing; he got hit by a plow.”

The friend referenced by WCVB reportedly offered to drive Read to look for O’Keefe because Read was “too hysterical to drive.” The friend, a woman, drove Read using Read’s own car. During the trip, Read allegedly said, “Could I have hit him? Did I hit him?” according to WCVB’s accounts of previous court proceedings and court paperwork.

...


When speaking in court during an earlier stage of the proceedings, prosecutors characterized Read’s comments to a paramedic who responded to the scene as some form of an admission: “I hit him, I hit him, I hit him, I hit him,” Read allegedly said, as Lally put it.

Read’s lawyer said his client was in shock and distraught over O’Keefe’s death, which he said was an accident. Defense attorney David Yannetti told the newspaper he thought prosecutors had rushed to charge Read because the victim was a politically connected cop.

“Manslaughter is a tremendous reach in this case,” Yannetti reportedly said in court. “I don’t see any criminal intent … this was my client’s boyfriend, somebody with whom she was in love.”

William Read says his daughter told him she thought she “struck something” while she was at Good Samaritan Hospital in Brockton, where O’Keefe was pronounced dead.

The father denied that Karen Read thought she struck O’Keefe.

“No, no, no,” William Read said. “She felt she struck something. She said: ‘Dad, I think I struck something.’ I said, ‘What do you mean?’ This was in the hospital, she says, ‘I remember backing up and hitting something, but I can’t say what it was’ and at this point, she’s frantic.”

Karen Read Murder Trial: Victim's Orphaned Niece and Nephew Testify

Read woke the niece on the night O’Keefe died and asked that she contact people to inquire about O’Keefe’s whereabouts. In an interview with Norfolk Advocates for Children, the niece "indicated ... that the defendant changed her story several times while speaking to Ms. McCabe on the phone, with initially the defendant stating that she and the victim got into an argument and she dropped him off," said a statement of case filed in the case and obtained by Inside Edition Digital. The niece also said Read was “screaming and acting frantic” that morning.

On the stand Tuesday, the niece said she saw Read when she came to pick up some things after O’Keefe’s body had been discovered. The niece testified that Read said "she was living a nightmare." Read then left the home and never saw or contacted the nephew or niece ever again, both testified on Tuesday.

1:06 p.m. update: Guarino says defense analysis of phone data is incorrect​

Prosecutor Adam Lally asked Trooper Nicholas Guarino who in his office was able to perform cellphone extractions and he said some were able to but usually he is the only one that does them. He said it was not possible for other officers to have deleted data from the Cellebrite reports, as the defense has suggested.



Guarino said when defense investigator Rick Green performed an extraction on Jennifer McCabe’s cellphone in April 2023 and found the 2:27 a.m. Google search for “hos long to die in cold,” he went back to the extraction he had performed to determine why it hadn’t shown up.



“I didn’t really go through the phones much when we first got them. I don’t know everything about the case, the investigators do,” he said. “When I got his report I went through it. I went step by step. He said this happened, I went to confirm it. If it didn’t, I needed to figure out what happened.”



He said he determined, with the help of digital forensics experts, that Green was using an updated version of Cellebrite and that was why the artifact from 2:27 a.m. had shown up for Green, but not in the original extraction.



However, he said, he determined that this was not the accurate time of the search, and that it had been performed at 6:23 a.m. as McCabe had told police.



“It’s physically impossible to search two things at once, and she’s searching for her daughter’s basketball at 2:27,” he said.

Massachusetts State Police Detective Nicholas Guarino returned to the stand shortly before 9:30 a.m. On Monday, Guarino testified about text messages between Karen Read and John O’Keefe.



Prosecutor Adam Lally introduced new exhibits for Guarino’s testimony Thursday, a call log between Read and witness Kerry Roberts, a chat log between O’Keefe and Chris Albert, a full chat report for Read’s cellphone with all of the witnesses in the case from Jan. 29, 2022 onward and a call log from O’Keefe’s cell phone.



Guarino read messages between Read and Laura Sullivan just after 1 p.m. on Jan. 29, after Sullivan texted Read asking her to call her. Read told Sullivan O’Keefe was dead, and that he had been found outside in the snow at 5 a.m.

January 29, 2022 – the night John O'Keefe died​

Shortly after midnight: Karen Read, John O'Keefe and a group of friends went to the Waterfall Bar and Grill in Canton on the night of January 28, 2022. According to prosecutors, Read consumed several alcoholic beverages. Read drove O'Keefe to the home of Boston police officer Brian Albert. That is where police said people from the bar were meeting back up.

1 a.m.: Court documents later revealed that in the weeks before and even the hours leading up to the night out, text messages between Read and O'Keefe as well as voicemails showed a strained relationship. Investigators said that around 1 a.m. on January 29, Read allegedly left O'Keefe a voicemail that said "...you are a f------ loser, f--- yourself" and "John, I f------ hate you."

4-5 a.m. – At 4:23 a.m. while heavy snow was falling, O'Keefe's niece called Jennifer McCabe, Brian Albert's sister-in-law and a friend of O'Keefe's. She said Read was "distraught" because O'Keefe had not come home and was not answering his cellphone. According to court documents, McCabe said she heard Read screaming "John didn't come home. We had a fight." Around 5 a.m. Read called another woman whose husband was friends with O'Keefe. Prosecutors alleged that Read said while they searched "What if he's dead? What if a plow hit him? … I don't remember anything from last night, we drank so much I don't remember anything."
