Proctor became the lead investigator after state police were called in because Albert has a brother with the Canton Police Department. But Proctor's own connection with other witnesses were called into question at the trial. Proctor acknowledged that he is close with his sister, Courtney, who is friends with Julie Albert, the homeowner's sister-in-law.
The trooper came under fire after testifying about texts he sent during the investigation to friends, family members and colleagues, including superiors with the state police.
In them, he called Read a "whack job" and a "c***," made disparaging remarks about medical conditions, and said he had found "no nudes so far" when going through her phone.
When a friend said they were "sure the owner of the house will receive some s***," Proctor replied, Nope, homeowner is a Boston cop, too."
She isn't, but you're right the others involved were. The trial itself didn't exactly paint them in a great light. The lead investigator texted that he was going through her phone looking for nudes, the security footage from Canton PD somehow happened to become mirror imaged yet weirdly the timestamps weren't, the entire investigation itself was an absolute shit show (red solo cups are totally fine for blood evidence, right?) the homeowner (cop) got rid of his dog, destroyed his phone, refloored his basement (possible crime scene), sold the house for $50k under value, and according to him "butt dialed" a potential co-conspirator during sex with his wife at 2am while a dead man was on his lawn. Said butt dialed was "butt answered" according to the ATF agent he was calling who then butt hung up before butt dialing him back.
