The True Crime Tapes

On the fourth day of Karen Read's 2025 retrial, the jury visited the alleged crime scene at 34 Fairview Road in Canton, Massachusetts, where Boston Police Officer John O’Keefe was found unresponsive in the snow on January 29, 2022. During the visit, jurors examined the property and observed Read's Lexus SUV, which was parked outside the home. Prosecutors directed the jury's attention to the vehicle's rear bumper, suggesting it matched O’Keefe’s injuries, while the defense highlighted the distances between the house and the lawn, arguing that the scene did not support the prosecution's narrative .​

Following the site visit, testimony resumed in court with Canton firefighter and paramedic Jason Becker, who recounted Read's emotional state during her transport to the hospital for a psychiatric evaluation. Becker described her as agitated yet cooperative, noting that she mentioned having an argument with O’Keefe prior to his death. Additionally, Dr. Garrey Faller, a former pathologist at Good Samaritan Medical Center, testified that Read's blood alcohol content was 0.093%—above the legal limit—approximately nine hours after the incident. The day concluded with Judge Beverly Cannone dismissing the jury early, marking the end of the first week of testimony

Serial killer long-haul truckers are a subset of serial killers who operate within the trucking industry, often using their jobs to facilitate their crimes. Common characteristics include:

1. Mobile Lifestyle: Their job allows them to travel extensively, providing opportunities to commit crimes across different locations and jurisdictions.
2. Isolated Victims: Truckers may target victims along their routes, often selecting transient individuals like sex workers or hitchhikers who are less likely to be reported missing.
3. Method of Disposal: They may dispose of victims' bodies in remote locations along highways or in areas unfamiliar to them, making it challenging for law enforcement to connect the crimes.
4. Interstate Jurisdiction: Crimes committed by long-haul truckers can span multiple states, complicating investigations and coordination among law enforcement agencies.
5. Pattern Recognition: Investigators may use travel logs, toll booth records, and other data to identify patterns in a trucker's movements and potentially link them to unsolved crimes.

A serial killer is an individual who commits a series of intentional and premeditated murders, typically targeting multiple victims over an extended period of time. This specific type of criminal behavior is characterized by several key features:

1. Pattern of Killings: Serial killers have a distinct pattern when it comes to selecting their victims and executing their crimes. They may have specific preferences regarding the victim's age, gender, appearance, or occupation.
2. Motive: Serial killers often have complex psychological motivations for their actions. Motives can vary widely and may include a desire for power and control, sexual gratification, a need to satisfy twisted fantasies, or a compulsion driven by mental disorders.
3. Cooling-Off Periods: After each murder, serial killers typically experience a "cooling-off" period, during which they lie low and refrain from committing further crimes. This period allows them to avoid detection and continue their killing spree.
4. Multiple Crime Scenes: Serial killers usually commit murders in different locations, sometimes spanning across different cities, states, or even countries. This geographical mobility can make it difficult for law enforcement to connect the crimes.
5. Signature: Many serial killers have a unique "signature" or modus operandi, which are specific behaviors or rituals they perform at the crime scene. These signatures are distinctive elements that set their crimes apart from others and are often driven by the killer's psychological needs.
6. Lack of Connection to Victims: Unlike other types of murderers, serial killers typically have little or no personal connection to their victims. They choose victims based on certain characteristics that fulfill their fantasies or urges.
7. Psychological Profile: Serial killers often display psychopathic or sociopathic traits, including a lack of empathy, remorse, and a propensity for manipulating others. Many have experienced troubled childhoods or traumatic events, contributing to the development of their violent tendencies.
8. Media Attention: Serial killer cases often attract significant media attention due to the horrifying nature of their crimes, resulting in widespread fear and public interest.

Investigating and apprehending serial killers is an intricate and challenging task for law enforcement agencies. It involves thorough profiling, collaboration between jurisdictions, forensic analysis, and sometimes luck. Understanding the psychology and motives behind their actions is essential in developing strategies to prevent and solve such crimes.


According to the New York Times, serial killings are a thing of the past and due to technology the instances of serial killings are far and few between. Meanwhile, there have been at least four serial killers caught in the past few months, calling into question the whole article from the Times.

So, let's dive in and have a look!

Serial Killings Like the Gilgo Beach Murders Are Becoming Rarer in the U.S. - The New York Times (nytimes.com)

In Austin, Texas, authorities are currently investigating a potential serial killer responsible for at least two murders. DNA evidence has linked the deaths of two women: Alyssa Ann Rivera, who was found in June 2024, and Alba Jenisse Aviles, who was murdered in 2018. Both cases appear to involve sexual assault, and the Austin Police Department has released surveillance footage of a person of interest, described as a Hispanic male. The investigation is ongoing, and police are seeking the public's help to identify the suspect.

This case is separate from previous speculations about a serial killer linked to deaths near Lady Bird Lake, which have been largely debunked by authorities. However, the fear of an active serial killer has reignited concerns in the city. Authorities have not ruled out the possibility that more homicides could be connected to this suspect.

Texas serial killer on the loose after two women's bodies are found | Daily Mail Online

Sean "Diddy" Combs has reportedly rejected a plea deal recently offered by federal prosecutors, signaling that he intends to fight the extensive criminal charges he is facing rather than seek an early resolution. The plea offer came as part of the sprawling investigation into allegations of sex trafficking, racketeering, drug distribution, and violent crimes connected to Combs' empire. Sources close to the case suggest the rejected deal would have required Diddy to plead guilty to multiple federal counts, likely carrying a substantial prison sentence, in exchange for avoiding a potentially even harsher outcome at trial. Instead, Combs’ legal team has opted to prepare for a courtroom battle, maintaining that he is innocent of the allegations and determined to clear his name.


This decision comes at a time when prosecutors appear to be intensifying their efforts, with additional grand jury subpoenas issued and rumors swirling about more cooperating witnesses stepping forward. Legal experts suggest Diddy's refusal to take the deal could either be a bold show of confidence in his defense strategy—or a risky gamble, given the breadth of evidence reportedly in federal hands, including alleged financial records, video evidence, and testimony from former associates. If convicted at trial, Diddy could face decades in federal prison, with prosecutors reportedly pushing to frame the charges under statutes carrying mandatory minimums. The stakes have now escalated dramatically, setting the stage for what could become one of the highest-profile celebrity trials in decades.

Sean Combs rejects plea deal

The world has been shaken by the devastating news that Virginia Roberts Giuffre, a courageous survivor who became a symbol of truth and resilience, has died. Virginia’s life was defined by extraordinary bravery—first surviving the unimaginable horrors of trafficking at the hands of Jeffrey Epstein and his powerful network, and later daring to speak out when so many tried to silence her. Through years of public scrutiny, court battles, and personal pain, she carried herself with a grace and strength that inspired countless survivors around the world. Her voice helped expose some of the darkest abuses hidden behind the walls of wealth and influence, and her loss is a deeply painful blow to those who loved, admired, and fought alongside her.

Virginia's death leaves behind a void that cannot be filled. She was more than a witness to unspeakable evil—she was a fighter who challenged a system built to protect it. Her legacy will endure in every survivor who finds the strength to speak, and in every person who refuses to look away from injustice because she taught us how. Today, we mourn not just the passing of a remarkable woman, but the stolen years of peace and healing she so profoundly deserved. May her memory be a blessing, and may her fight for truth and dignity never be forgotten.

The last days of Virginia Giuffre as Prince Andrew's accuser feared enemies 'were out to get her' | Daily Mail Online

In the early hours of November 13, 2022, four University of Idaho students—Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin—were brutally stabbed to death in a rental house near campus in Moscow, Idaho. The crime scene was particularly disturbing: there were no signs of forced entry, and two surviving roommates were left unharmed in the same house. The case immediately drew national attention due to the shocking nature of the murders and the lack of suspects in the early days. A months-long investigation led law enforcement to Bryan Christopher Kohberger, a 28-year-old Ph.D. criminology student at Washington State University, located about ten miles from the crime scene. Using cell phone data, surveillance footage, and a DNA match from a knife sheath found at the scene, police arrested Kohberger in Pennsylvania on December 30, 2022, and later extradited him to Idaho to face four counts of first-degree murder and one count of felony burglary.

As of April 2025, Kohberger’s case is still moving through the pretrial phase. His defense has pursued multiple motions challenging evidence collection, including arguments over cellphone pings, surveillance footage, and the genealogical tracing used to identify him as a suspect. The trial has faced delays due to defense requests for more time and the complexities of handling large volumes of digital and forensic evidence. Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty, emphasizing the heinous nature of the crime and the calculated planning involved. Judge John Judge continues to rule on motions in limine, including what evidence will be allowed at trial. The case remains one of the most closely watched in the nation, with both legal teams preparing for what is expected to be a high-profile and emotionally charged trial, now tentatively slated to begin later in 2025.
