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 blogger and free speech activist Aidan "Turtleboy" Kearney has had on the case, along with Kearney’s exclusive story—from high school teacher to 60 days in jail, after exposing what he believes is corruption in the Read case—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 free speech advocate, Aidan Carney, who goes by the name Turtleboy, slowly pulls back the curtain on this bedroom community, uncovering what he believes is evidence of widespread corruption and collusion, fueling an already volatile situation, and ultimately leading to Turtleboy being arrested and jailed himself for his work reporting on the Karen Read case.

“They tried to silence me by jailing me—this is the country we live in,” Kearney says. “Corrupt cops, judges and people at the highest level of local politics, all involved in the death of John O’Keefe, framing an innocent woman, come after me because I exposed them.”

Phelps plays the middle road here, telling the story as it takes place, interviewing dozens of people, reviewing 1000s of pages of documents, collecting hours of exclusive audio, getting the exclusive story from Turtleboy himself, which he has not shared with anyone.

A 17-year-old leaves his Shreveport, Louisiana, home one morning in 1971 and nobody ever sees him again. Twenty years later, a sadistic serial killer begins murdering young people throughout the South and it seems there may be a connection back to that missing boy, David Yeager. Then David Yeager’s cousin, Kelly Chance, steps in, and changes this case forever.

As the Massachusetts State Police close in on Karen Read and begin drafting an arrest warrant, things happening behind the scenes change the course of the investigation. As Turtleboy digs for information, he begins talking to Karen Read, and others start to come forward, claiming they have sources inside 34 Fairview Road proving John O’Keefe was murdered inside the house and Karen Read is being framed for it. Is this a carefully scripted design by Karen and Turtleboy, or the truth?

A gunshot rings out in the middle of the night. State police veteran trooper Dan Howard is home and runs to see what has happened, only to find his wife of 26 years, 48-year-old Kendall “Kendy” Howard, dead upstairs, in the bathroom, inside the bathtub.

Suicide or homicide, first responders wonder as the investigation unfolds.

When the coroner decides it’s a suicide, two determined detectives call that finding into question and begin digging deeper, only to find that what at first seems like an unspeakable, sad tragedy is an elaborate murder with only a few suspects.

Karen Read is desperate and in full-fledge blame-someone-else mode as police zero in on her Lexus, impound the vehicle, and begin to put together a strong case, proving she was drunk and, knowingly or not, with or without intent, struck John O’Keefe with her SUV and killed him. Meanwhile, Turtleboy, under Karen's manipulating direction, continues his campaign to paint lead investigator Michael Proctor and witness Jennifer McCabe as the two people behind some sort of elaborate conspiracy that is becoming harder each day for most to believe.

Karen Read has been sent to the psychiatric ward inside the same hospital where her boyfriend, John O’Keefe, has been pronounced dead. As John’s family and friends come to grips with his murder, they begin piecing together the last moments of John’s life—and all of the evidence points to one person responsible: Karen Read, who herself is now scripting an alternative narrative, employing Aidan “Turtleboy” Kearney as her mouthpiece and propaganda machine, and police dashcam video of her Lexus shows her broken taillight long before the Massachusetts State Police are involved.
