Boston police officer Karen Read filed a lawsuit against state and local police over their handling of the investigation into her detective boyfriend's hit-and-run death. Court documents reveal shocking texts between investigators. The lawsuit suggests Read believes police deliberately mishandled the investigation—that investigators didn't pursue leads or actively steered the case in a particular direction.
Police investigating police deaths often becomes messy. Investigators may face conflicting loyalties, departmental politics, or pressure to protect colleagues. Shocking texts between investigators suggests there's documentary evidence of problematic conversations—statements that, once public, call the investigation's integrity into question.
