Episode 449: Teen Boy’s Snapchat & Party Pic Reveal His Secret Connection To Karen Read Murder Case-Did He Do It?

---

Colin Albert is the son of one of the most powerful families in town. And he was supposed to be anywhere but 34 Fairview, the night John O’Keefe died.

For months, not a single witness that spoke with authorities ever stated Colin Albert was at the house that night. Until, John’s girlfriend, Karen Read, gets charged with his death.

She knows she didn’t do it and is ready to prove her innocence.

She hires a private investigator who uncovers that Colin was there the night of the party.

So why is everyone lying to cover for him?

Why does it seem like everyone is trying to protect him?

Why is it so important to hide the fact that he was at the house that night?

Could it be related to the fact that, just weeks after John O'Keefe’s death, Colin Albert was photographed with scraped and injured knuckles?

Or perhaps it has something to do with his Snapchat videos, which reveal that this popular high school football player may have violent tendencies?
