True crime

Dan Markel, a brilliant legal scholar, was brutally murdered in a carefully orchestrated hit amid a nasty custody battle with his ex-wife's family. The investigation unraveled a twisted plot involving his ex-brother-in-law, Charlie Adelson, who was eventually convicted, and other family members caught in the sinister scheme. Donna Adelson was nabbed at the airport trying to flee to Vietnam, showing just how desperate the family was to dodge justice. Despite the tragic loss, Dan's legacy shines on through laws protecting grandparents' rights. This case is a haunting reminder of the extreme lengths people will go to out of greed and betrayal.

Ep 169 : Karen Read Pt 2

Right now, there is a huge case creating a stir within the true crime space and followers of this story are somewhat divided on what they believe happened on the night of January 29, 2022 outside of a home in Canton, Massachusetts.  A man named John O’Keefe, a Boston police officer, was found dead in a blizzard outside of a house in the Boston suburb.  Just six hours earlier, his girlfriend, Karen Read, dropped him off at the house in Canton, belonging to a mutual friend, Brian Albert.  But what happened during those six hours, remains somewhat of a mystery and with two very different allegations of what happened that night, there is a very clear divide in the town of Canton and the realm of true crime.  By the end of this episode, I’ll be curious to hear what you think about this story.  Did Karen Read kill her boyfriend? Or is she being framed for a cover-up by influential, powerful members of the Boston Police Department?   Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
