Karen Read is arrested and charged in February 2022. By June 2022, she is indicted on new charges, including murder. The chance to plea her case down has all but passed. Facing years behind bars if convicted, Karen names two people as John O’Keefe’s murderers, 34 Fairview homeowner Brian Albert, a Boston cop as well, and his 17-year-old nephew. Then she initiates a social media campaign, utilizing self-published blogger Turtleboy to promote this new narrative, giving birth to the conspiracy. The story seems to come out of left field as the Commonwealth produces forensic and circumstantial evidence, claiming only person—Karen Read—is behind the death of John O’Keefe.
“34 Fairview Road” is the first limited series, narrative podcast exploring in depth the death of Boston Police officer John O’Keefe in January 2022, the arrest of his girlfriend, 44-year-old Karen Read, her high-profile murder trial, the impact self-published blogger Aidan "Turtleboy" Kearney has had on the case, along with Kearney’s exclusive story—from high school teacher to a criminal serving 60 days in jail for witness intimidation so far, still facing 18 felony counts—woven through the story behind the town of Canton, Massachusetts, in utter chaos, division, and at each other's throats.
Hosted by veteran podcaster, writer and executive producer M. William Phelps—the #1 Apple hit PAPER GHOSTS, WHITE EAGLE, both from iHeartMedia, and his hit weekly show CROSSING THE LINE WITH M. WILLIAM PHELPS—and New York Times bestselling author of close to 50 books, investigative journalist and tv personality.
The series, based on over 100 hours of interviews Phelps has completed, features exclusive audio, documents and insights from Aidan “Turtleboy” Kearney, including never-before-heard, new information in the case, and Turtleboy's dealings and exclusive conversations with Karen Read. The series offers an original look at the shocking series of events that occurred before and after John O’Keefe lost his life as a blizzard descended upon New England in January, 2022.
The series is executive produced by M. William Phelps and Matthew Valentinas—written and produced by M. William Phelps.
In late January 2022, 46-year-old veteran Boston Police officer John O’Keefe’s body is found on the front lawn of a fellow Boston Police officer’s home in Canton, Massachusetts—34 Fairview Road—as a blizzard blankets the Northeast. Within hours, O’Keefe’s otherwise unassuming 44-year-old financial executive girlfriend, Karen Read, is accused of running down O’Keefe with her SUV—and charged with his murder. And yet, some believe Karen Read is a scapegoat, there to shield a conspiracy hiding deep, dark secrets—with corrupt cops and political Canton power brokers, running the town like an organized crime family, at the helm.
Soon, the town of Canton is in chaos, residents at each other’s throats. And there in the midst of it all, a blogger and so-called free speech advocate, Aidan Carnie, w
