River Donaghey grew up in a cult. Or at least that’s what some people called it. His parents called it a “personal-growth seminar group.” Its leader called it “one big happy family.” But there was a dark side to the world River grew up in. One he never heard about as a kid. In the 1970s and 80s, a self-help company called Lifespring took America by storm.

In the podcast 'Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski,' retired FBI Special Agent and Chief of the Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program, Robin Dreeke, discussed the ongoing trial of Karen Read. The defense is focusing on the chain of custody regarding red and clear plastic pieces found on Read's vehicle, raising questions about their origin and handling. The testimony revealed that these plastic pieces were not embedded in John O'Keefe's shirt and that the chain of custody before the evidence reached the lab is uncertain. Dreeke noted that while the chain of custody is usually well-documented, the defense is using these ambiguities to create reasonable doubt. Additionally, video evidence showed Karen backing into John's vehicle, which could suggest that the broken taillight might not be related to John's injuries. Dreeke emphasized the complexity of the case, suggesting that while there might be incompetence or unethical behavior, there is no clear indication of a deliberate conspiracy. The conversation highlighted the tragic nature of the case and the exposure of personal flaws and mistakes of those involved.
