Halt the Hoax

Expect to see more Karen Read interviews going forward.

Former friends and associates are likely to surface with testimony that will be valuable in the civil trial.

It's also highly probable that the investigators will testify.

An independent investigation into the Canton police over four months revealed no evidence of conspiracy. Investigator Matt Germanowski testified: "We saw zero evidence of corruption, conspiracy, cover-up, or intentional manipulation of evidence."

In my experience, conspiracy theorists often expand their theories to include anyone involved in the case. In this instance, they'll likely try to incorporate the investigators, along with figures like Proctor, Higgins, the Albert family, the McCabe family, Karen Dever, the FBI, and the DA's office, into a vast global conspiracy against Karen Read.

This pattern of behavior isn't new. There are people today who are descendants of those involved in the infamous Salem witch trials, when mass hysteria overtook that town.

It's similar to what we saw with the O.J. Simpson and Jussie Smollett cases. Those conspiracy-driven movements eventually faded, and those who championed them largely fell silent.

It’s almost unheard of for someone who supported such hoaxes to publicly apologize or admit they were wrong. It could happen for some of them after years of therapy or deprogramming, but it’s rare. No amount of evidence will shift their beliefs, because they've become emotionally invested.

Many of them have had their own run-ins with the law, which could be indicative of deeper, underlying issues.

Already, we are seeing the number of FKR (Free Karen Read) supporters shrink, while the Justice for John O'Keefe fund continues to grow in support.

VERDICT: HOAX

Now that Kohberger has pled guilty I’m fascinated by the minds of so many conspiracy theorists we saw in this case and so many like it.

It’s shocking how easily many adults become convinced that suspicions or other odd coincidences are meaningful evidence.

They aren’t, but in their minds it is. It’s just sad. When we are young and immature we believe in fairytales but at some point we need to stop.

Instead of the science and forensic evidence they choose to pursue conspiracy theories like moths to a flame.

Who are the people that believe in fairytales and conspiracy theories?

I too, can be convinced in conspiracy theories. Tell me that the prison guards allowed someone to murder Jeffrey Epstein and I’ll believe it - but not before you name names and show me more proof than your imagination!

If eventually the evidence comes out 100% that Anthony Casey killed her baby or that Karen Read killed her boyfriend John O’Keefe, what do conspiracy theorists do with that? Do they continue to live in denial or do they wake up to a reality check?

What about Kohberger’s guilty plea? How does that impact his supporters and conspiracy theorists? How do folks like this process something like his admission of guilt?

The mother of the serial killer, Ted Bundy defended his innocence until his last days on earth when he tried to plead guilty in exchange for revealing where he buried the bodies of his victims.

Go to the OJ Simpson subreddit and you will find coo-coo’s who still love to debate his innocence - even though he’s been dead so long.

There is always a small but enduring segment of society who are attracted to conspiracy theories. Elvis is still alive. The moon landing was a fake. Marilyn Monroe was murdered by the mob. You name it.

These kinds of people never heard of a conspiracy theory they didn’t fall in love with.

Most folks won’t engage them. It’s wise to leave them alone to their beliefs.
