Karen Read has been sent to the psychiatric ward inside the same hospital where her boyfriend, John O’Keefe, has been pronounced dead. As John’s family and friends come to grips with his murder, they begin piecing together the last moments of John’s life—and all of the evidence points to one person responsible: Karen Read, who herself is now scripting an alternative narrative, employing Aidan “Turtleboy” Kearney as her mouthpiece and propaganda machine, and police dashcam video of her Lexus shows her broken taillight long before the Massachusetts State Police are involved.

“34 Fairview Road” is the first limited series, narrative podcast exploring in depth the death of Boston Police officer John O’Keefe in January 2022, the arrest of his girlfriend, 44-year-old Karen Read, her high-profile murder trial, the impact blogger and free speech activist Aidan "Turtleboy" Kearney has had on the case, along with Kearney’s exclusive story—from high school teacher to 60 days in jail, after exposing what he believes is corruption in the Read case—woven through the story behind the town of Canton, Massachusetts, in utter chaos, division, and at each other's throats.

Hosted by veteran podcaster, writer and executive producer M. William Phelps—the #1 Apple hit PAPER GHOSTS, WHITE EAGLE, both from iHeartMedia, and his hit weekly show CROSSING THE LINE WITH M. WILLIAM PHELPS—and New York Times bestselling author of close to 50 books, investigative journalist and tv personality.

The series, based on over 100 hours of interviews Phelps has completed, features exclusive audio, documents and insights from Aidan “Turtleboy” Kearney, including never-before-heard, new information in the case, and Turtleboy's dealings and exclusive conversations with Karen Read. The series offers an original look at the shocking series of events that occurred before and after John O’Keefe lost his life as a blizzard descended upon New England in January, 2022.

The series is executive produced by M. William Phelps and Matthew Valentinas—written and produced by M. William Phelps.

In late January 2022, 46-year-old veteran Boston Police officer John O’Keefe’s body is found on the front lawn of a fellow Boston Police officer’s home in Canton, Massachusetts—34 Fairview Road—as a blizzard blankets the Northeast. Within hours, O’Keefe’s otherwise unassuming 44-year-old financial executive girlfriend, Karen Read, is accused of running down O’Keefe with her SUV—and charged with his murder. And yet, some believe Karen Read is a scapegoat, there to shield a conspiracy hiding deep, dark secrets—with corrupt cops and political Canton power brokers, running the town like an organized crime family, at the helm.

Soon, the town of Canton is in chaos, residents at each other’s throats. And there in the midst of it all, a blogger and free speech advocate, Aidan Carney, who goes by the name Turtleboy, slowly pulls back the curtain on this bedroom community, uncovering what he believes is evidence of widespread corruption and collusion, fueling an already volatile situation, and ultimately leading to Turtleboy being arrested and jailed himself for his work reporting on the Karen Read case.

“They tried to silence me by jailing me—this is the country we live in,” Kearney says. “Corrupt cops, judges and people at the highest level of local politics, all involved in the death of John O’Keefe, framing an innocent woman, come after me because I exposed them.”

Phelps plays the middle road here, telling the story as it takes place, interviewing dozens of people, reviewing 1000s of pages of documents, collecting hours of exclusive audio, getting the exclusive story from Turtleboy himself, which he has not shared with anyone.

As a frantic search for Boston Police officer John O’Keefe is initiated by his girlfriend, Karen Read, during the early morning hours of January 29th, 2022, some believe a conspiracy to cover up a murder gets underway immediately. Meanwhile, a group of Canton residents seem to be catching on to what is happening in town—as they consider that cops and politicians could be working together to frame an innocent woman. This, as those around Karen Read that morning hear her say repeatedly, "I did it. I hit him. I hit him." And self-proclaimed "journalist" Turtleboy digs into the story under the tutelage of none other than Karen Read herself.
