DEDHAM, Mass. — A three-night docuseries on Karen Read is set to premiere on Investigation Discovery just weeks before her retrial.
“A Body in the Snow: The Trial of Karen Read” will offer an in-depth look behind the scenes of the 2024 trial, with “unprecedented access” to Read, her legal team, and other key figures involved in the case.
Read, 44, is accused of striking John O’Keefe with her Lexus SUV on January 29, 2022, and leaving him to die after a night of drinking. Prosecutors claim that after a night out at several bars, Read dropped O’Keefe off at a house party just after midnight. They allege that, as she left, she hit him before driving away. Read later returned hours later to find him in a snowbank.
Her legal team has been fighting to dismiss charges of second-degree murder and leaving the scene of a deadly crash, citing double jeopardy after multiple jurors stated that they had agreed to acquit on those charges.
Read’s first trial ended in a hung jury last summer.
The docuseries will premiere over three nights on Investigation Discovery: Monday, March 17, and Tuesday, March 18, from 9 p.m. to 11 p.m. with the one-hour finale airing Wednesday, March 19, at 9 p.m.
The docuseries will delve into the investigation, presenting theories and offering insight into Read’s mindset during the 2024 trial as the case continues to unfold, according to Investigation Discovery.
Episodes will also be available to stream on Max.
Read is scheduled to return to court on April 1.
