Karen Read’s Behavior, Consciousness of Guilt or Self-Preservation FBI Profiler Weighs In

What makes someone look guilty—even if they haven’t confessed? In this psychological deep dive, former FBI profiler Robin Dreeke joins Tony Brueski to examine Karen Read’s behavioral patterns during the ongoing trial into the death of John O’Keefe. Her shifting tone, open-ended confessions, and sometimes childlike emotional responses have drawn attention—and not in the way her defense team might have hoped.
Could Read’s emotional immaturity and inconsistent storytelling be the result of trauma? Or are they deliberate tactics designed to control public perception? We explore how her responses mirror what Dreeke calls the “wound collecting victim mentality,” and why that can become a psychological red flag for manipulation.
Plus: an important new angle. The Lexus SUV she drove may have captured a critical moment—a reverse event timestamped to line up with O’Keefe’s phone going silent. As new digital forensics come into play, the prosecution’s case shifts from theory to data-driven timeline.
This episode connects forensic science and human behavior to ask a simple but powerful question: when the machine and the body both speak—do they tell the same story?
