"The 2021 Lexus LX 570 will be auctioned off at 11 a.m. Jan. 30, just over four years after O'Keefe was found unresponsive on a snowy lawn in Canton. According to JJManning Auctioneers, bidding will be held live - in other words, no online or remote bids - and bidders must show valid ID and proof of $20,000 in bank funds to register and take part."
"The SUV only has about 12,000 miles on it, having sat for years in police custody while Read's case wound its way through the courts. After sitting stagnant for so long, however, the SUV was reportedly in need of extensive repairs. JB Auto Care mechanic Bill Brusard told the Boston Herald the car's battery was dead, the dashboard was in pieces, and the vehicle had a rodent infestation."
"The SUV was also missing its damaged right taillight, which became a key piece of evidence in Read's case as prosecutors argued that she shattered the light backing into O'Keefe. "So we got it detailed, cleaned, removed the rat's nest out of there - a mouse nest, whatever it was - put a new battery in it, changed the oil, put the taillight in it, and everything came out great," Brusard told the Herald."
A 2021 Lexus LX 570 connected to the death of John O'Keefe will be auctioned Jan. 30 with live, in-person bidding and a $20,000 proof-of-funds registration requirement. The SUV has about 12,000 miles after years in police custody and was reportedly in need of extensive repairs, including a dead battery, a dismantled dashboard, rodent infestation, and a missing right taillight that served as an evidentiary element in the criminal case. Karen Read was acquitted of murder and manslaughter and convicted only of a drunk-driving misdemeanor. Mechanic Bill Brusard purchased and refurbished the vehicle and plans to donate auction proceeds to Read.
