Massachusetts State Police Lt. Brian Tully, who oversaw the investigation into John O’Keefe’s death and testified at Karen Read‘s trial, has retired. State police confirmed his retirement was effective at the end of day Wednesday. Tully’s most recent post was part of the Field Services division, an MSP spokesman told the Boston Herald.

| Police investigating ‘disturbing' Mass. school staffer video allegation |
|
|
Police are investigating a video that appears to show a Massachusetts school employee having a sexual conversation online with someone posing as a 15-year-old girl, officials said. There is no evidence that any students in Silver Lake Regional School District, where the man had been employed, received any inappropriate communication from the now-former employee, Kinston police said. They didn’t share details of what’s depicted in the video, seen on TikTok and first brought to authorities’ attention on Thursday evening, police said. They didn’t identify the district employee or say where they work, but did note that he is no longer allowed on school property and no longer works there. |

Those showers hang around after midnight. |
