Detective Lt. Brian Tully explains why investigators didn't search Albert home
Tully continued his testimony Thursday, explaining that they never searched the residence at 34 Fairview Road because they didn't believe there would be any evidence inside pertaining to the O'Keefe investigation.
He said he didn't have any evidence or probable cause to search the home, especially since he did not believe that O'Keefe had ever entered the home.
"I have evidence that he was outside, but I don't have anything putting him inside the residence," Tully said.
Assistant District Attorney Adam Lally queried Tully on a series of surveillance videos obtained form the Canton Public Library and the Temple Beth David. One of those videos shows a black SUV similar to the one driven by Read going by the temple on Washington Street at 12:17 a.m. on Jan. 29, 2022.
Another video from 5:11 a.m. showed the ground was now covered in snow. Again, a black SUV can be seen driving south on Washington Street from the general area of O'Keefe's house in the direction of the Waterfall Bar & Grill. Around 5:15 a.m., the same black SUV can be seen driving back in the opposite direction, north on Washington Street.
In both videos Tully said the black SUV was consistent with Read's vehicle.
Another video showed what appeared to be the same SUV traveling from the area where the Waterfall Bar and Grill is located toward the area of 34 Fairview Road.
