A Massachusetts State Police officer who was fired over his conduct during the murder investigation of John O'Keefe appeared before the state's Civil Service Commission.

The lead investigator into the death of Boston Police Officer John O’Keefe has begun his appeal of his firing for his “sexist” behavior regarding then-murder suspect Karen Read.

Proctor was assigned to investigate the death of Read’s Boston police officer boyfriend, John O’Keefe. He was relieved of his duty without pay in summer 2024 after a mistrial was declared in Read’s first murder trial, and his last day with the Norfolk District Attorney’s Office followed soon thereafter.
