When we first came across the Karen Read case, one thing stood out immediately: the evidence didn’t tell a clean story — and neither did the investigation.

What should have been a straightforward scene quickly turned into a case filled with unanswered questions, disputed timelines, and decisions that left even seasoned investigators shaking their heads. From evidence handling to scene reconstruction, critical moments in this investigation demand a closer look — not speculation, not rumor, but a clear-eyed forensic review.

That’s where we come in.

As former law enforcement, we approach this case the same way we would any investigation: follow the evidence, question the process, and call out what doesn’t add up. Along the way, we’ll break down what was done right, what was done wrong, and why certain choices continue to fuel controversy. And yes — when the facts warrant it, we’re not afraid to show a little well-earned outrage (with just enough humor to keep it real).

This is the Karen Read case — through the lens of investigative experience, forensic analysis, and common sense.
