Welcome to Crimetown, a series produced by Marc Smerling and Zac Stuart-Pontier in partnership with Gimlet Media. Each season, we investigate the culture of crime in a different city. In Season 2, Crimetown heads to the heart of the Rust Belt: Detroit, Michigan.

They Never Tested the Blood! Eric Faddis on the Stunning Oversight in the Karen Read Case
In this jaw-dropping episode, Attorney Eric Faddis helps us unpack one of the most baffling oversights in the Karen Read case: blood was discovered on key objects in the house where John O’Keefe was last seen alive — but it was never tested.
How does that even happen?
We take a hard look at what this missing forensic testing could mean for the integrity of the entire investigation. Blood on a cup, a kitchen item, and even on interior surfaces might have held critical answers — but according to courtroom testimony, those samples were never analyzed. Eric walks us through the legal fallout of such a lapse: Is this just bad police work, or something more strategic? And could it ultimately derail the prosecution’s narrative?
We also examine how this revelation plays with jurors. Does it feed the defense’s claim that Karen Read is the target of a botched and biased investigation? Or will the prosecution argue that the untested samples don’t matter — that the case is strong enough without them?
This episode is for anyone who’s ever asked, “Why didn’t they test that?” — and wants a real answer from someone who’s been on both sides of the courtroom.
