Accused murderer Karen Read finally tells her own story in the trailer for Investigation Discovery’s forthcoming docuseries A Body in the Snow: The Trial of Karen Read, which dropped on Wednesday.
“So, did you drive your car into John?” a director for the ID and Max docuseries asks Read directly as she talks ahead of an upcoming 2025 retrial.
Who rammed their car into Boston police officer John O’Keefe was central to the first trial for Read, who was accused of driving over her boyfriend on a wintry morning in January 2022. She was charged with his murder; her 2024 trial ended in a mistrial.
The docuseries, to debut on ID over three nights from March 17 to March 19, has Read maintaining her innocence with her defense alleging she was framed to protect fellow police officers involved in O’Keefe’s death.
“It’s impossible to have any sympathy. They’re all lying,” Read says in the ID series, which offers access to the accused murderer, her legal team and other key players in the case.
During the first trial on vehicular homicide and manslaughter charges, prosecutors alleged Read backed her car into O’Keefe and ran him over in a fit of passion, and then left him to die in the snow. Read claimed her innocence and her lawyers alleged something far more nefarious was at play, including an elaborate law enforcement coverup.
A Body in the Snow: The Trial of Karen Read will conclude with a one hour finale on March 19, with all episodes to also stream on Max. The docuseries is produced by Unsolved Productions for Investigation Discovery.
