According to Boston magazine, on this
00:00:02
call, this anonymous tipster says
00:00:05
something to the effect of, "Your client
00:00:07
is innocent. John was beaten up by Brian
00:00:10
Albert and his nephew. They broke his
00:00:12
nose and when O'Keeffe didn't come too,
00:00:15
Brian and a federal agent dumped his
00:00:17
body on the front lawn." Who Who was the
00:00:20
federal agent? So, the the federal agent
00:00:23
is someone they were out with drinking
00:00:24
at the bars that night. Someone that
00:00:26
went back to their place, too. Now, to
00:00:28
be fair, we don't know for sure. This is
00:00:30
who the anonymous tipster was talking
00:00:31
about, but like the federal agent we
00:00:33
know was at the house that night was
00:00:35
Brian Higgins, which I'm sure is a name
00:00:37
you're familiar with, but he's an ATF
00:00:38
agent, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco,
00:00:40
Firearms, and Explosives. And he's going
00:00:42
to become central to this story. It's
00:00:44
why you know his name. Yeah. And he's
00:00:46
actually one of the only people who knew
00:00:48
Karen really well in that group. But
00:00:50
back to this call. So, this tipster ends
00:00:52
up recanting everything he said.
00:00:54
Apparently, police track him down and
00:00:56
when they interview him, he says, "Like
00:00:58
JK, none of it's true." But his tip has
00:01:01
already gotten Karen's wheels turning.
00:01:03
She says in an interview with Night Line
00:01:05
that after the tipster came forward, she
00:01:07
went on Facebook and started finding
00:01:09
photos of the police who were
00:01:11
investigating the case with people who
00:01:13
were in the Albert's house that night.
00:01:16
Now, it's unclear what exact photo she
00:01:18
is talking about in that interview, but
00:01:21
we know now that Michael Proctor is in
00:01:23
multiple social media posts with members
00:01:24
of the Albert family. So, she starts to
00:01:28
wonder if all of these people are
00:01:30
connected and if she's being framed in
00:01:33
some sort of cover up for something they
00:01:35
did. And if that's the case, she knows
00:01:38
that she needs a topnotch defense
