This week on News Roundup, to celebrate our 10th episode and to mark the end (for now…) of one of the biggest true crime cases of recent years, we're doing a Karen Read special! Back in January 2022, Read’s Boston cop boyfriend John O’Keefe died after a night out in Canton, Massachusetts, and now over 3 years later Read was finally found not guilty of murdering him with her car. We talk about the case itself, the movement in support of Read, and of course what we think.
In Missing and Marginalised this week we covered two missing women from Boston, Massachusetts. Brianna Colon and Ariyona Watkins-Walker are both 18, and have both been missing since May 2023. If you see Ariyona or Brianna, or have any information about their disappearances, please contact Boston Police on 1-617-343-4500
