The Question That Could Break the Karen Read Case 'Did I Hit Him', FBI Behavior Expert Talks
The Trial Of Karen Read | Justice For John O'Keefe - A podcast by True Crime Today - Wednesdays

The Question That Could Break the Karen Read Case 'Did I Hit Him', FBI Behavior Expert Talks In this episode, we focus on one of the most puzzling—and potentially case-defining—moments in the Karen Read trial. When she allegedly asked, “Did I hit him?” before John O’Keefe’s body had even been discovered, it sent shockwaves through the timeline and raised one chilling question: why would anyone assume that? Joined by former FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke, we take a deep dive into the psychological and behavioral implications of this question. Was it a moment of genuine fear, trauma-induced speculation, or the subconscious emergence of a truth she was trying to hide? Robin breaks down how professionals in behavioral analysis interpret spontaneous language, particularly under high stress and emotional duress. Throughout this episode, we unpack why timing is everything. Saying the wrong thing too early can reveal far more than intended—and juries notice. We look at Karen Read’s overall behavior before the discovery of the body, and why her assumption that John was outside and possibly dead doesn’t align with what she should have known in that moment. Whether you're watching this trial with a mind for justice, psychology, or forensic investigation, this is one of those episodes that cuts right to the core of what behavior reveals. Words matter—especially when they come too soon. This video is a must-watch for anyone following the Karen Read case and trying to separate truth from narrative.
