During the trial concerning the death of John O'Keefe, multiple testimonies revealed key details about the events on January 29, 2022. Matthew McCabe testified that he saw Karen Read's car parked outside the house and noticed it moving to different locations. He also mentioned that his wife, Jennifer McCabe, received calls from Karen Read, who admitted to breaking her taillight. On the morning of the incident, Matthew was awoken by Jennifer's screams. When he arrived at 34 Fairview, he found Jennifer, Brian Albert, and Nicole Albert in shock, along with first responders and Officer Lank. Jennifer McCabe testified that she saw a dark SUV outside and texted John O'Keefe, who did not respond. She also mentioned that Karen Read showed up at her house screaming and later admitted to hitting O'Keefe. Jennifer further testified that Karen was distraught and repeatedly asked if O'Keefe could be at a former girlfriend's house. Upon arriving back at 34 Fairview, Karen screamed upon seeing O'Keefe's body buried in the snow. Matthew McCabe also referenced Trooper Proctor in his testimony and mentioned a text about 'Ch 4' and Brian Albert's response. The trial continues to uncover more details about the night of O'Keefe's death, including a fiercely debated Google search.
