Karen Read's 2021 Lexus LX 570, a significant piece of evidence in her murder trials, is now available for nearly $100,000 at Autobahn USA Dedham dealership after a failed auction in Woburn. The auction was canceled due to low attendance, leading to a private sale. Read faced accusations of second-degree murder in the death of her boyfriend, Boston police officer John O’Keefe, who was found dead in January 2022. Although Read was acquitted of murder, she was convicted of drunk driving and received a year of probation. The SUV, which has only 12,832 miles, has been in police custody for years and is now being sold despite needing repairs, including a dead battery and a shattered dashboard. The right taillight, a contentious piece of evidence in the case, is also missing. Readers on Boston.com expressed skepticism about the vehicle's value, with many predicting it would sell for less than $70,000, while the Kelley Blue Book suggests a fair market value of around $61,000.
