When Lisa Guy failed to show up for work after Thanksgiving weekend, a wellness check led to a nightmarish discovery that would hit close to home.

The Defense grilled the man who she was flirting with in text messages. The jury was shown these texts between Karen Read and Brian Higgins weeks before John O'Keefe was killed. During cross-examination, the Defense was trying to prove that Higgins was romantically interested in Read and got in the middle of her relationship with her boyfriend. Higgins denied that claim but admitted he was attracted to the defendant.

The jury listened to what Brian Higgins was doing in the hours before John O'Keefe died. Prosecutors contended that Karen Read was flirting with him in text messages in the days leading up to her boyfriend's death. But those texts suddenly stopped after he died. Brian Higgins admitted to jurors that he was a bit embarrassed by his texts to Karen read. He claimed John O'Keefe was his friend and that texting with her was not a good look.

Everybody was in shock the day John O'Keefe died according to Brian Higgins, who was under cross-examination. He said he remembered how upsetting that day was, which made his memory a bit fuzzy. Higgins recalled that Karen Read and her boyfriend never showed up to the house party after they told friends gathered at a local bar that they would. Read's defense was convinced that John O'Keefe was beaten up by men at the Albert family home and then dumped in the snow.

Karen Read's attorney accused a State witness of changing his statements to law enforcement. Brian Higgins was a friend of both the defendant and John O'Keefe. He was hanging out with them at a bar just hours before O'Keefe died. The Defense grilled Higgins for removing the SIM card from his cell phone and getting rid of it. They asked him what exactly did he do with his phone weeks after John O'Keefe was pronounced dead.

An ATF special agent admitted that he got rid of cell phone records of the texts he made in the weeks and even hours leading up to the death of John O'Keefe. The long testimony of Brian Higgins wrapped up. He told the jury about his friendship with Karen Read and John O'Keefe, his access to the Canton Police Department, the flirty texts he exchanged with the defendant and how he got rid of the SIM card from his phone.

The doctor who pronounced John O'Keefe dead at the hospital testified. Emergency room physician, Dr. Justin Rice, told jurors how John O'Keefe lost his life in a blizzard. He claimed that O'Keefe did not have a pulse when he got to the ER and was completely unresponsive. When O'Keefe was rushed to a nearby hospital he was declared deceased. His cause of death was blunt force trauma and hypothermia.

Pathologist from the hospital where John O'Keefe was pronounced dead took the stand. Dr. Garrey Faller, chief pathologist and laboratory medical director at Good Samaritan Hospital, oversaw the test results on the amount of alcohol in Karen Read's system. This was hours after her boyfriend was found unconscious. The defendant's blood was drawn at the hospital the night before she and O'Keefe spent the night at bars with friends.
