Summary

FBI Profiler on Karen Read’s Public Strategy Conviction or Control
In this explosive breakdown of the Karen Read case, retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke, former chief of the Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program, joins us to unravel the psychological and behavioral layers behind Read’s public defense. From shifting narratives about the death of John O'Keefe, to speculative statements like “he didn’t look mortally wounded,” Dreeke brings his expertise to questions of deception, narcissistic behavior, and defense strategy.

We dive into the probabilities behind the defense’s claims, including the alleged involvement of a police dog and theories involving others at the scene. How likely are these claims from a behavioral and evidentiary standpoint? Is Karen Read simply protecting herself—or manipulating the narrative?

If you're following the twists and turns of the Karen Read trial, this expert analysis sheds new light on the case's most confounding questions.

We are diving deeper into the Karen Reid case today, not just the what's, the when, or the where we're going deep into the why.

0:16.0

Why do certain people stick to narratives that seem to defy evidence?

0:21.4

Why do others double down on a narrative even when it starts falling apart?

0:26.3

And more importantly, how do you spot the difference between a truth teller and someone selling you a polished high gloss version of events?

0:34.3

Joining us is someone who spent his career doing exactly that, retired FBI special

0:38.8

agent, Robin Drake, former head of the counterintelligence behavioral analysis program.

0:43.3

Robin, let's start here from your perspective. When you see a suspect publicly doubling down

0:48.9

in their interviews, aggressively pushing a counter-narrative while seemingly disregarding contradictory evidence

0:58.0

or contradictory things that she said in the past that are directly different than what it was

1:04.0

now. What are the behavioral tells you're looking for that might point to deception versus

1:10.7

conviction? There's a lot. There's a lot. the behavioral tells you're looking for that might point to deception versus conviction.

1:12.9

There's a lot. There's a lot to unpack in that. Yeah, there is. So let's, boy, we can go

narratives and false memories implanted in your brain brain and then kind of morphed it into the

1:45.9

topic of what we're talking about is why would she do the things she's doing and a lot of it is

1:51.7

from my standpoint in our conjecture is she's trying to continually control the narrative that's been

placed against her she feels like a victim and she's trying to control
