The Psychology of Guilt Karen Read’s Shifting Story Through a Behavioral Lens

The Psychology of Guilt Karen Read’s Shifting Story Through a Behavioral Lens



In this gripping episode of Hidden Killers, Tony Brueski sits down with retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke to examine the trial of Karen Read—through a behavioral lens. As the courtroom battles rage on, we dive deep into what may be the most telling evidence of all: Karen Read’s own words, behavior, and emotional inconsistencies.



From the moment she asked, “Could I have sideswiped him?” to her shifting narratives in interviews and text messages, Dreeke highlights patterns that suggest more than just a foggy memory. Is this self-preservation mode… or something deeper? The discussion breaks down Read’s possible narcissistic behavioral traits, her inconsistent tempo during questioning, and why some of her emotional responses might actually be masking something more calculated.



We also touch on the vehicle timestamp data that allegedly aligns the Lexus SUV’s reverse event with the time John O’Keefe stopped using his phone—an alignment that could make or break the defense’s claim of reasonable doubt. If technology and behavior both point in the same direction, the jury may not need much more.



Don’t miss this in-depth breakdown where law, forensics, and behavioral psychology collide.
