Almost exactly a year before John O’Keefe is found in the snow outside of Boston detective Brian Albert’s home, Sandra Birchmore is found dead in her apartment in the middle of a blizzard.

In her phone are thousands of messages between her and a police detective that indicate he is the father of her unborn child. But of course, it’s never that simple.

For one, he’s married and his wife is about to give birth to their third child.

And two, he legally, shouldn’t be in a relationship with Sandra.

Nobody was supposed to find out that he had been grooming and assaulting her since she was 15 years old, a grade school cadet apart of his police explorer’s program.

Now that she’s dead - everything’s about to come out into the open right? Not exactly.

When Canton PD and Massachusetts State Police investigate Sandra’s suspicious death, they rule her manner of death as a self exit. It would take the FBI 4 years to get involved and make an arrest.

From first glance, it appeared Sandra Birchmore’s connection to Karen Read ended with the fact that both crimes took place in the same town. But when Karen Read’s defense team requests unredacted files from Sandra Birchmore’s investigation…netizens begin digging.

Many of the same exact officers that are going after Karen Read are the same ones saying Sandra Birchmore did this to herself.

What are they all hiding?

Karen Read claims she did not kill her boyfriend. She dropped him off at a friend’s house for a party and he was found the next morning, deceased on the front lawn.

The party goers say that he never came inside which has everyone believing Karen Read ran him over with her car.

But she says that never happened.

Then how do you explain the 40+ pieces of HER car tail light that were found at the scene?

Well, it’s simple.

She says she was framed. For murder.

Those tail light pieces were allegedly planted by shady cops that want her to go down.

Law enforcement disagree, providing video evidence that nobody touched her car and nobody could have ever placed tail light pieces at the scene. Nobody believes Karen Read.

Until it’s revealed that the so called CCTV footage from inside the police station… is altered.

Colin Albert is the son of one of the most powerful families in town. And he was supposed to be anywhere but 34 Fairview, the night John O’Keefe died.

For months, not a single witness that spoke with authorities ever stated Colin Albert was at the house that night.

Until, John’s girlfriend, Karen Read, gets charged with his death. She knows she didn’t do it and is ready to prove her innocence. She hires a private investigator who uncovers that Colin was there the night of the party. So why is everyone lying to cover for him?

Why does it seem like everyone is trying to protect him?

Why is it so important to hide the fact that he was at the house that night?

Could it be related to the fact that, just weeks after John O'Keefe’s death, Colin Albert was photographed with scraped and injured knuckles?

Or perhaps it has something to do with his Snapchat videos, which reveal that this popular high school football player may have violent tendencies?
