  • Karen Read Says She’s “Framed For Murder” -No One Believes Til Shady Cops CAUGHT Editing CCTV Video
    Jul 24 2025

    Karen Read claims she did not kill her boyfriend. She dropped him off at a friend’s house for a party and he was found the next morning, deceased on the front lawn.


    The party goers say that he never came inside which has everyone believing Karen Read ran him over with her car.


    But she says that never happened.

    Then how do you explain the 40+ pieces of HER car tail light that were found at the scene?


    Well, it’s simple.

    She says she was framed. For murder.


    Those tail light pieces were allegedly planted by shady cops that want her to go down.

    Law enforcement disagree, providing video evidence that nobody touched her car and nobody could have ever placed tail light pieces at the scene. Nobody believes Karen Read.


    Until it’s revealed that the so called CCTV footage from inside the police station… is altered.

  • Teen Boy’s Snapchat & Party Pic Reveal His Secret Connection To Karen Read Murder Case-Did He Do It?
    Jul 21 2025

    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?

  • Man Dead In Front of Powerful Family Home After “Blizzard Party” -Everyone Inside Has Motive To Kill
    Jul 16 2025

    It’s a blizzard party. A group of friends at a house, getting drunk, before they all drive back home. By 2AM, the snow is coming down hard and the party goers have left for their own homes. Only the residents of 34 Fairview Road remain.

    At least that’s what they say.

    Within just a few hours, the frozen body of John O’Keefe is found outside on their lawn. Laying in the snow.

    The best way to figure out what happened to John O’Keefe is to talk to every single person inside the house for the ‘blizzard party'.

    But ‘hos’ can authorities have a proper investigation if all of them are evasive?

    Nobody wants to answer any of the questions directly and their stories aren’t adding up. Most importantly, what about the allegations that every single person inside of the house that evening may have a motive to harm John?

    Are they telling the truth? Could it really just’ve been John’s ‘jealous’ girlfriend Karen? Did she really run him over in a fit of rage like all the party goers say?

    The authorities seem to think so. They take the residents of 34 Fairview and the partygoers at their word despite the mountains of evidence that point in a completely different direction.

    So the real questions are: Is Karen Read actually guilty or is it just because the residents of 34 Fairview are the most well-connected and powerful family in Canton?

Every Wednesday and Sunday I get excited for this podcast to drop! Stephanie is an amazing story teller. She is so engaging and the little additional comments from her fiancé make this podcast so charming and enjoyable, even when the content is sometimes so dark. I’m a big fan of her Baking a Mystery series as well, where she reviews and retells films and stories. Couldn’t recommend her content more!!

Absolutely obsessed!

I've just recently started binge-listening to Rotten Mango for the first time and the timing of me finding this episode specifically being March 2023, is simply insane. I'm Portuguese and grew up surrounded by Brazilian people, media and culture so I identify things regarding Brazil to be close to me also, but I had never heard of this case before. So I just looked him up out of curiosity to see if I could find his online presence as mentioned in this episode, only to find out that he was literally MURDERED earlier THIS MONTH!!! 😱 It was all over Brazilian news, I came across loads of articles from the biggest Brazilian TV stations and news outlets talking about it. What are the odds that he would not only die, but be murdered literally just 10 days prior to me listening to this episode... 🤯😵

Just made a discovery about this case, it's crazy!

Your ability to recount and present this tragedy is masterful. I'm a new listener and Gen X (old bird hehe) and very much knew about John Holmes. Save for the adult film and homicide elements, my Mum also succumbed to that lifestyle and I lost her when I was 16... I'm now 44 and it still hurts... Nevertheless, love listening to you guys and keep up the stellar work.
