Karen Read's Fatal Assumption Why Did She Think He Was Outside
Before anyone saw a body, before a single flake of snow was disturbed on the front lawn, Karen Read reportedly said, “Did I hit him?” And just like that, the prosecution’s timeline had a behavioral anchor. In this episode, retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke joins us to analyze what that kind of pre-discovery assumption means — not in speculation, but in behavioral science.
We break down what makes this moment so critical: no one had seen John O’Keefe at that point, yet Karen’s panic went straight to the idea that he was not just outside, but already hurt — or worse, dead. Was this just anxiety spinning out of control? Or something more telling?
Robin takes us inside how trained profilers evaluate guilt leakage, subconscious narrative shifts, and the crucial difference between panic and prediction. This isn’t just about what was said — it’s when it was said, and how the tone, timing, and instinctual phrasing could offer the jury a moment of truth hidden in chaos.
If you’re tracking the Karen Read trial, this is the behavioral pivot point. Don’t miss it.
