What happened that day in that little house in the woods is not a debate.

 

The evidence is all there. The blood, the wounds, the dead man lying on the floor of the living room.

 

That night while the homeowner was watching TV - Clark Fredericks walked in, slashed at him with a hunting knife, stabbing him all over his chest, before finally slitting his throat.

 

It’s a bloody killing. There’s blood splattered and smeared all over the room.

 

Detectives have so many questions for the killer -

 

Like why did he kill him?

 

Why did he go and spit on his bed before leaving?

 

Did he think that he was going to get away with this?

 

What was the reason?

 

And does he regret it?

 

Today, we’re getting answers to those questions. This is our interview with Clark Fredericks.

I Sat Down With A Killer

It’s a little strange for a eulogy to go viral especially when it’s not dedicated to a politician or celebrity that’s passed, but this eulogy is for the joint funeral of a couple Kristin and James Brock. Killed in their sleep while their two daughters slept just a few doors away.

 

The killer is still on the loose.

 

Kristin’s eldest daughter gives the closing line of her eulogy, “I love you guys so, so much…I’m sorry.”

 

A relative who is present at the funeral will later recall the teenager’s cadence - how it was one of the weirdest things they have ever witnessed.

 

What is that voice they’re doing?

It sounds like crying but not a single tear…

 

Afterwards, the teenager, whose 5 year old sister was the one to find their parents’ bodies, goes down the line of relatives repeating the phrase, “I’m sorry.”

 

Why is 17 year old Sarah Patrick apologizing to everyone when it was her mother and stepfather that were killed?

 

Five months later and a digital footprint of tiktoks will give the police enough evidence to make an arrest.

 

Authorities accuse Sarah Patrick. Could the teenage daughter who recited a eulogy for her deceased parents really be a killer performing a eulogy for her murder victims?

Teen Girl Begs TikTok To Find Her Mom’s Killer THEN Gets Arrested For Killing Both Parents

July 5th, 2025 a predator in Nanjing, China is arrested. He’s been nicknamed, ‘Uncle Red’ and his face gets plastered on the news.

 

Finally. The community can breathe and go about their daily lives, right? No. Netizens instead start a boycott and it works. 

 

No future travel into or through Nanjing.

Gyms are shutting down. No one wants to visit. Some residents are ashamed to have an Nanjing address.

 

Suddenly the biggest online diss you can throw at someone on Chinese social media is telling them that their husband or father is from Nanjing.

 

It’s clear that after Uncle Red’s arrest, nothing and nobody is the same… but how the hell is an entire city impacted by one man’s arrest?

 

For that, all you have to do is log onto Chinese social media and you’ll see it. I’m talking, screenshots, gifs, full videos, memes, AI parodies of Uncle Red’s crimes...

 

Over a thousand graphic videos that captured hundreds of Nanjing residents in their most intimate moments between them and a partner.

 

They had no idea Uncle Red was recording them.

And they had no idea that the partner participating in the videos with them was actually Uncle Red too.

China's "Red Uncle/Sister Hong" Exposed W/ 1600+ Victims But Became The Biggest MEME

Almost exactly a year before John O’Keefe is found in the snow outside of Boston detective Brian Albert’s home, Sandra Birchmore is found dead in her apartment in the middle of a blizzard.

 

In her phone are thousands of messages between her and a police detective that indicate he is the father of her unborn child. But of course, it’s never that simple.

 

For one, he’s married and his wife is about to give birth to their third child.

And two, he legally, shouldn’t be in a relationship with Sandra.

 

Nobody was supposed to find out that he had been grooming and assaulting her since she was 15 years old, a grade school cadet apart of his police explorer’s program.

 

Now that she’s dead - everything’s about to come out into the open right? Not exactly. 

 

When Canton PD and Massachusetts State Police investigate Sandra’s suspicious death, they rule her manner of death as a self exit. It would take the FBI 4 years to get involved and make an arrest. 

 

From first glance, it appeared Sandra Birchmore’s connection to Karen Read ended with the fact that both crimes took place in the same town. But when Karen Read’s defense team requests unredacted files from Sandra Birchmore’s investigation…netizens begin digging. 

 

Many of the same exact officers that are going after Karen Read are the same ones saying Sandra Birchmore did this to herself.

 

What are they all hiding?

Investigators On Karen Read Case Connected To Death of Pregnant Girl That Had Been Abused By 3 Cops

Karen Read claims she did not kill her boyfriend. She dropped him off at a friend’s house for a party and he was found the next morning, deceased on the front lawn. 

 

The party goers say that he never came inside which has everyone believing Karen Read ran him over with her car. 

 

But she says that never happened. 

Then how do you explain the 40+ pieces of HER car tail light that were found at the scene?

 

Well, it’s simple. 

She says she was framed. For murder. 

 

Those tail light pieces were allegedly planted by shady cops that want her to go down. 

Law enforcement disagree, providing video evidence that nobody touched her car and nobody could have ever placed tail light pieces at the scene. Nobody believes Karen Read.

 

Until it’s revealed that the so called CCTV footage from inside the police station… is altered.

Karen Read Says She’s “Framed For Murder” -No One Believes Til Shady Cops CAUGHT Editing CCTV Video

Colin Albert is the son of one of the most powerful families in town. And he was supposed to be anywhere but 34 Fairview, the night John O’Keefe died.

 

For months, not a single witness that spoke with authorities ever stated Colin Albert was at the house that night.

 

Until, John’s girlfriend, Karen Read, gets charged with his death. She knows she didn’t do it and is ready to prove her innocence. She hires a private investigator who uncovers that Colin was there the night of the party. So why is everyone lying to cover for him?

 

Why does it seem like everyone is trying to protect him?

Why is it so important to hide the fact that he was at the house that night?

 

Could it be related to the fact that, just weeks after John O'Keefe’s death, Colin Albert was photographed with scraped and injured knuckles?

 

Or perhaps it has something to do with his Snapchat videos, which reveal that this popular high school football player may have violent tendencies?

Teen Boy’s Snapchat & Party Pic Reveal His Secret Connection To Karen Read Murder Case-Did He Do It?

It’s a blizzard party. A group of friends at a house, getting drunk, before they all drive back home. By 2AM, the snow is coming down hard and the party goers have left for their own homes. Only the residents of 34 Fairview Road remain. 

 

At least that’s what they say.

 

Within just a few hours, the frozen body of John O’Keefe is found outside on their lawn. Laying in the snow. 

 

The best way to figure out what happened to John O’Keefe is to talk to every single person inside the house for the ‘blizzard party'.

 

But ‘hos’ can authorities have a proper investigation if all of them are evasive?

 

Nobody wants to answer any of the questions directly and their stories aren’t adding up. Most importantly, what about the allegations that every single person inside of the house that evening may have a motive to harm John?

 

Are they telling the truth? Could it really just’ve been John’s ‘jealous’ girlfriend Karen? Did she really run him over in a fit of rage like all the party goers say?

 

The authorities seem to think so. They take the residents of 34 Fairview and the partygoers at their word despite the mountains of evidence that point in a completely different direction.

 

So the real questions are: Is Karen Read actually guilty or is it just because the residents of 34 Fairview are the most well-connected and powerful family in Canton?

Man Dead In Front of Powerful Family Home After “Blizzard Party” -Everyone Inside Has Motive To Kill

Deputy: In the matter of USA v. Combs, how do you find the defendant, Sean Combs, for count one, racketeering conspiracy?

 

Juror 5: Not guilty. 

 

There’s a small gasp from Diddy’s two rows of friends and family. 

 

Deputy: As for sex trafficking of Casandra Ventura, how do you find the defendant?

Juror 5: Not guilty.

 

Someone from the same section of the gallery says “yeah!!” It was quiet but in the tension of the courtroom it is clear that everyone heard it. His kids have broken into smiles, happily nodding. 

 

Deputy: Transportation for purposes of prostitution related to Casandra Ventura?

 

Juror 5: Guilty.

 

There’s no reaction. 

 

Deputy: As for sex trafficking of Jane, how do you find the defendant?

Juror 5: Not guilty.

 

Teny Geragos tightly grips Sean Combs’s hand across the table as the defense team exchanges positive looks.

 

Deputy: Transportation for purposes of prostitution related to Jane? 

Juror 5: Guilty.

 

As the entire courtroom stands and watches the jury leave, Combs continues to nod and clasp his hands in prayer directed towards the jurors; a silent ‘thank you.’

 

Basically the moment the jury walk out of the room, Marc Agnifilo, Sean Combs's lead defense attorney immediately petitions the Judge.

 

Judge: Are you proposing he just walk outside now?

Agnifilo: Yes…

The Moment Diddy Finds Out He’s “Not Guilty” On Major Charges

Thursday morning felt like we were seeing something we weren't supposed to be seeing… 

 

Sean Combs is sitting in his normal spot and the entire defense team fall into formation like soldiers at attention. They make a human force field as they huddle around Sean Combs.

 

Is this a pep talk? What's happening?

 

Through the cracks we can see, Sean Combs, absolutely livid. They stay like that until Father Arun, aka Judge Arun calls for a sidebar in the robing room. Lead counsel, Father Arun, and the court reporter disappear behind the door for 20 mins. Then 30 mins.

 

It’s an hour into the morning and we have yet to start the actual court proceedings - nor can we hear anything that’s going on inside the robing room.

 

Usually the rumors will come and go in the press pews - there’s not that many to go around.

But everything about this Thursday is different. With nothing else to do - the press are whispering -

 

‘Did you hear?’ ‘I don’t know if it’s true’

‘Kanye West is trying to get into the courthouse’

‘I heard he’s here to support Diddy’

 

But this doesn’t make sense because why would Diddy be so viscerally angry to the point that his entire team has to block our view of him? Wouldn’t he want his friend supporting him? Is this why the attorneys have spent so long in the robing room?

 

It all seems a lot deeper than that. Perhaps even darker. A lot of people start to speculate that Kanye might be the Feds next target - he might be who they’re coming after next.

Kanye & Diddy's Dark Connection - Why People Think Bianca Is The Next Cassie & Is Kanye Next Arrest?

During a sidebar for the case of USA v. Sean Combs - the judge tells the defense attorneys:

 

“Well, that is victim blaming. That is literally that's like if you had a dictionary that had a term victim blaming, like that would be the explanation that you'd be given, so it can't be that. It has to be something else.”

 

He clarifies that they themselves are not victim blamers; however, some of their questions could not be accepted in open court for their rather victim blaming nature.

 

He has said what netizens have been thinking for months now.

 

Netizens have been wondering for months -

 

Who is on trial here? Sean Combs or the victims?

 

Every single text message and every intimate detail of these women’s lives have been brought up in court.

 

They are being subjected to days and 20+ hours of brutal testimony. Their pasts are being dug up online - while Sean Combs has a growing line of fans waiting to get into the courtroom to support him. We are nearing the end of the trial and it feels like nobody really knows how this will end.

Diddy's Team: Jane Threw 1st Punch When She KNEW He Was Violent - Judge Calls Out Victim Blaming

3 people stranded on a boat in the middle of the ocean. 

1 of them has lied to the others. The truth will have deadly consequences. 

1 of them is hiding a big secret from the others. A secret she doesn’t want to get out. 

And only 1 will survive the 70 day ordeal. 

Book Rec: “Lost” - by Thomas Thompson (one of my fave authors) it’s so good you’ll read it all in one sitting especially if it’s a rainy day.
