C05 / SOURCE-LINKED RECORD

Seeing an approach is not the same as seeing entry

Two attributed accounts describe whether entry into the house was observed.

ATTRIBUTED PARAPHRASE

January 29, 2022; recounted by Bukhenik

Police-interview testimony

Bukhenik testified that Read said she did not see O'Keefe go inside.

ATTRIBUTED PARAPHRASE

May 8, 2025

Public statement reported by CBS Boston

Read said she saw him enter.

Documented difference

The police-interview account and the reported later public statement differ about whether she saw entry.

Limits and disputed context

The first account depends on the officer's testimony. The second is a public statement, not trial testimony. This comparison does not decide whether O'Keefe entered.
