- Cause of Death: O’Keefe died inside Brian and Nicole Albert’s home after a physical altercation and dog attack, not from being struck by Read’s SUV.
- Cover-Up Plan: House Defendants allegedly moved O’Keefe’s body outside to stage a car accident and performed incriminating Google searches (“how long to die in cold”).
- Police Misconduct:
- Lead investigator Michael Proctor was a close friend of the Alberts.
- Proctor and MSP colleagues ignored evidence, failed to search the house, and did not examine phones, bodies, or the Alberts’ dog.
- Proctor allegedly planted evidence on Read’s car and O’Keefe’s clothing.
- Proctor exchanged confidential information with the Alberts via his sister and received promises of gifts.
- Proctor sent offensive texts about Read, expressed hope she would kill herself, and sexualized her during the investigation.
- Supervisors Sgt. Yuriy Bukhenik and Lt. Brian Tully condoned or encouraged his misconduct.
- Bias & Corruption: Investigators protected the Alberts and McCabes due to personal ties and law enforcement connections, while targeting Read.
