Chilling New Details: Karen Read’s Retrial in Boyfriend’s Death Explored in Explosive Docuseries
Karen Read’s life has become a true-crime spectacle, and she’s inviting cameras into her home to prove her innocence—or at least to make you question everything you thought you knew. The upcoming docuseries *A Body in the Snow: The Trial of Karen Read* offers an inside look at her retrial, set for April, as she faces charges of second-degree murder, vehicular manslaughter, and leaving the scene of a collision in the death of her boyfriend, Boston police officer John O’Keefe. Prosecutors claim she hit him with her SUV during a drunken argument in 2022, leaving him to die in a snow-covered yard. But Karen and her legal team are spinning a different narrative: that O’Keefe was killed in a fight with fellow officers, who then framed her.
Her first trial ended in a mistrial last year, with the jury deadlocked 9-3 in favor of convicting her on vehicular manslaughter but leaning toward acquittal on the more serious charges. Now, as she prepares for round two, the docuseries promises to unpack the investigation, the theories, and Karen’s mindset as she fights to clear her name. It’s a story that’s equal parts courtroom drama, conspiracy theory, and personal tragedy—with enough twists to make even the most jured true-crime fan raise an eyebrow.
The five-episode series, which premiered this week on Investigation Discovery and is streaming on Max, features key figures in the case and an intimate look at Karen’s preparations for the retrial. Whether you believe her or not, one thing’s clear: this case is far from straightforward.
And let’s not forget the irony of a Boston police officer’s death becoming a media circus, complete with a docuseries that’s sure to spark debates and memes alike.
