Jennifer McCabe spars with the defense during full day of testimony in Karen Read murder retrial

Jennifer McCabe, one of the last people to see John O'Keefe alive, was on the stand for the entirety of the seventh day of testimony in Karen Read's murder retrial on Wednesday.
McCabe testified for hours and at times sparred with the defense as she recounted the morning that John O'Keefe's body was found on January 29, 2022.
McCabe says Read admitted to striking O'Keefe and showed damage to Lexus' taillight.
The prosecution alleges O'Keefe's body was on McCabe's sister's front lawn when McCabe left that home late at night.
McCabe testified that she never saw it.
Read attacked McCabe's credibility after listening to a full day of her testimony.
'Another witness, another instance of perjury. Or instances I should say,' Karen Read said outside court.
'I did not tell Jen to make a Google search,' Read said of McCabe's infamous 'hos long to die in cold' search on the morning of O'Keefe's death.
Read's lawyers have said that McCabe's search happened hours before O'Keefe was discovered, which could implicate her rather than Read. McCabe has said she made the search later at Read's insistence after they found O'Keefe.
Jurors listened to the 911 call McCabe made upon the discovery of O'Keefe's body.
'I need someone to come immediately to 34 Fairview Road Canton, Mass,' a recording of McCabe's voice played in court.
'What's going on?' a dispatcher replied.
'There's a guy unresponsive in the snow,' McCabe said.
McCabe said that Read announced that morning, 'I hit them! I hit them! I hit them!' McCabe testified that the memory was 'just as fresh today as it was three years ago.'
Defense attorney Alan Jackson challenged that and argued McCabe never mentioned that Read incriminated herself in previous testimony.
'Not one time. Miss McCabe, did you utter the phrase,' Jackson said.
'We found one of my closest friends on the front lawn, and she was saying crazy things and acting crazy,' McCabe replied.
McCabe also confirmed federal law enforcement agents came to her Canton home to question her in April 2023.
McCabe revealed she made five phone calls, including one to her brother-in-law Brian Abert, before agreeing to speak with the FBI, but initially she told agents she only made two; one to her husband Matt and another to Kerry Roberts.
'That would be a lie by definition,' Jackson pried.
'No, it's not a lie,' McCabe said
'Is there some shade of lie that I'm not aware of?' Jackson replied.
McCabe says it was an oversight and she reached out to the federal investigators by phone a short time later to tell them about the other calls.
As 25 Investigates has reported, the federal investigation closed months ago with no indictments.
McCabe also said she didn't hear any engine revving or yelling outside 34 Fairview at the time the prosecution says Read struck O'Keefe there.
There is no court on Thursday but McCabe will be back on the stand for a couple more hours on Friday.

‘Home of the Happy

South Louisiana journalist and author Jordan LaHaye Fontenot signs copies of her book 'Home of the Happy: A Murder on the Cajun Prairie' on Monday at the Elton Library. The book explores the kidnapping and murder of her great grandfather, Aubrey LaHaye, in 1983 in Evangeline Parish. (Doris Maricle / American Press) Jordan LaHaye Fontenot grew up not knowing much about her late great-grandfather, Aubrey LaHaye, who was kidnapped and murdered in Evangeline Parish in 1983. She knew he was taken from his home at knifepoint, and his wife, Emily, was left tied up after a man came to the house asking to use the couple's telephone after having car trouble. His body was discovered in Bayou Nezpique 10 days after an extensive search involving local, federal and state law enforcement. Growing up, Fontenot said she had limited knowledge of the tragedy because the family rarely talked about it, leaving many questions unanswered. Fontenot recently wrote a true crime memoir titled 'Home of the Happy: A Murder on The Cajun Prairie,' which explores the mysterious kidnapping and murder of her great-grandfather who she never knew and stories from her family. 'I think it's a family story about a tragedy that still has a lot of questions left lingering,' she said, noting that her family has remained tight-lipped for years. 'For me, it was an effort to answer some of them and just speak them into the world in a way that they haven't been over these past 40 years.' During a book signing Monday at the Elton Library, Fontenot said she started working on the project as part of her thesis project while majoring in English. She has a minor in journalism, which she uses today as the editor of Country Roads magazine. 'At first, it was more like an essay and it evolved into a book over the years with encouragement from my professor at the time and my Dad who began sharing more details about the event than I had ever heard before,' she said. She decided to delve deeper into the long-unspoken family history by interviewing relatives while they were still able to share their recollections. Her grandfather, Dr. George Wayne LaHaye, the last surviving child of her great grandfather, was able to witness the book's publication before his recent passing. 'The book follows me as I do the research mostly,' she said. 'It goes back and forth into the scene and then me in first person. It describes what happened, but then also watches as I dig into court files and FBI records and conversations with my Dad about these questions that we still have.' She spent nearly eight years scheduling numerous interviews, conducting extensive research, sifting through old newspaper articles, examining court files and FBI records and meticulously piecing the story together. For the most part, people, including close family members, were generous in sharing their versions of the story, she said. 'There's some people who are pretty uncomfortable with all of this being just out in the world, and it's a lot of stuff that they kind of put in the past as a way to get forward and it's coming back up,' she said. 'But they all have been very supportive of me which I appreciate because this is in many ways more their story than it is mine.' Fontenot said writing the book was challenging at times simply because of the sensitive nature of the subject of the matter and its connection to her family. 'It becomes very personal and this all happened before I was even born,' she said. 'There were parts that were really hard to write and hard to do interviews because they were very emotional.' Her father has been her biggest support throughout the project. 'I wouldn't have felt comfortable doing it without that support,' she said. Despite completing the book, Fontenot says many aspects of the case remain unresolved, and rumors persist even decades later. With the passage of time, the loss of records, and the passing of individuals, these questions may never be fully answered, she said. John Brady Balfa was convicted of LaHaye's murder in 1985, although some individuals harbor doubts regarding his involvement. Fontenot said she intends to leave the final judgement to her readers. Balfa, who is currently serving a life sentence at Angola State Penitentiary, continues to pursue appeals based on what he claims is withheld evidence. He is the nephew of renowned Cajun musician Dewey Balfa, and his father, Harry, was an accordion player in the Balfa Brothers' band. Fontenot reached out to Balfa requesting a meeting, noting that he has never met with any members of the LaHaye family. His response was a Christmas card simply signed 'Merry Christmas.' Fontenot describes her book, despite its focus on the murder, as both a love letter to Evangeline Parish and an investigative piece. 'I think readers from this area are going to see a lot of places that they recognize and names that are familiar, and that's been kind of interesting feedback from people from here so far,' she said, adding that she also learned a lot about South Louisiana, including the complexities of its people and the importance of storytelling in its culture. Looking ahead, Fontenot hopes to write another book, though the subject and format are still undetermined. 'I think there's a collection of essays that exist in my brain somewhere that will come out eventually, and then there's some stories that I'd like to play around with like fiction stuff, but I've never published fictions yet, so I'm a little more uncomfortable in that world, but we'll see,' she said.

Police say a man opened fire outside a church before staff fatally shot him, averting mass shooting

WAYNE, Mich. — A man who opened fire outside a Michigan church filled with worshippers on Sunday was struck by a vehicle and then fatally shot by security staff who averted a potential mass shooting, police said. Churchgoers attending a morning service at CrossPointe Community Church in Wayne spotted the gunman driving recklessly and then saw him exit his car wearing a tactical vest and carrying a rifle and a handgun, police Chief Ryan Strong said at an evening news conference. The man began firing as he approached the church, striking one person in the leg. 'A parishioner struck the gunman with his vehicle as the gunman shot the vehicle repeatedly,' Strong told reporters. 'At least two staff members shot the gunman, causing the fatal wounds.' Police described the suspect as a 31-year-old white male with no known connection to the church. His motive remains unclear, but it appears he was suffering from a mental health crisis, Strong said. The shooting occurred around 11 a.m. in Wayne, a city of about 17,000 people located about 25 miles (40 kilometers) west of Detroit. The person who was shot in the leg was treated for non-life-threatening injuries, the chief said. Nobody else was hurt. Strong said a church member ran the suspect over with his pickup truck, giving security staff time to shoot him. 'We are grateful for the heroic actions of the church's staff members, who undoubtedly saved many lives and prevented a large-scale mass shooting,' the chief said. About 150 people were inside the church at the time. The church's website says it hosts a worship service on Sundays at 10:45 a.m. Worshipper Wendy Bodin said she heard a loud 'boom' and when she looked outside, she saw a man sprawled out on the grass in front of the church. 'I thought he got hit or crashed his car or was hurt,' Bodin told WXYZ-TV. 'And another lady saw and pointed to me and said, 'Oh my, call 911!'' Wayne Police Deputy Chief Finley Carter III said hours later that it was too early to know a motive. FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino tweeted that bureau 'leadership and support teams' were at the scene and helping with the investigation. Messages left by The Associated Press on Sunday on voicemail and a Facebook page for the church were not immediately returned.
