Mayor Shelton shares her nonpartisan approach to local leadership, the push for seven day code enforcement and landlord licensing, and how stronger communication with neighborhoods like INCA is shaping smarter decisions. We get into the plan to acquire and tear down the Boynton Beach Inn, possibilities around the marina and boat ramp area, and what must happen before hotels and major grocers say yes.

What happens when true crime meets real estate? In this candid and captivating episode, host Allyson Sullivan steps outside the MLS and dives headfirst into the gripping trial of Karen Read — the Massachusetts woman accused (and acquitted) of killing her boyfriend, Boston police officer John O’Keefe. Joined by her friend Jeanine, Allyson unpacks the details with storytelling precision, drawing from weeks of obsessive courtroom coverage, firsthand analysis, and deep emotional investment. From the mysterious butt dials and a Google search at 2 AM to the "crash daddies" and a German shepherd no one can locate, this isn’t just true crime — it’s a case study in bias, betrayal, and broken systems.

Whether you followed the trial or are hearing about it for the first time, this episode will have you questioning everything. Did Karen really hit him with her SUV? Or did something far darker happen inside a house full of cops and secrets? Get ready for a rollercoaster of fact, theory, and fire — all through the lens of a storyteller who isn’t afraid to say what the news wouldn’t. You’ll walk away rethinking what justice means in a small town where everyone knows everyone… and maybe, covers for them too.
