Mass. State Police investigator in Karen Read case moved out of DA's office

  • Massachusetts State Police investigator Yuriy Bukhenik was reassigned from the Norfolk County district attorney's office and began a temporary duty assignment within the agency’s training and standards department on Sunday, July 6, 2025.
  • His reassignment followed Karen Read’s acquittal on major charges related to the passing of her partner, Boston police officer John O’Keefe, amidst allegations from the defense of tampered evidence and a law enforcement conspiracy.
  • Bukhenik underwent rigorous cross-examination regarding the investigation’s quality and was found to have breached two state police regulations due to inadequate oversight of Trooper Michael Proctor, who had been dismissed for sending inappropriate messages related to Read.
  • The personnel order indicated that Bukhenik did not adequately oversee or advise a subordinate and neglected to record the subordinate’s shortcomings as required. Bukhenik, in turn, described Proctor’s language as inappropriate and regrettable.
  • The State Police said recent challenges have led to a broader review aiming to improve training, oversight, and accountability within the department following these events.
