As stated in the previous blog, on the 6th of September 2023 Aidan Kearney wrote and published a story headed (in part) Canton Cover-Up Part 133.

Aidan Kearney went on to state of Steve Scanlon;
Scanlon told me that “this thing stinks, and an innocent person should not be blamed if they didn’t do it.”
He said that he reached out to Karen Read through Facebook messenger to offer her free PI help, but that when he never heard back from her he decided to go directly to Yannetti.
“This dude got beat up,” he reportedly told Yannetti.
But what part of the story “stunk” on February 3?
And how would Scanlon know that John was beaten inside the house if he wasn’t there?
He told me that “if someone backs up into a guy they’re gonna have bodily injury and bruising,” and John didn’t have that.
The autopsy photos had not been released by February 3, but he told me he knew what John’s body looked like from hearing news reports about swollen eyes.
“It looked like a fight.”
Did Karen Read tell Natalie Berschneider-Wiweke that Steve Scanlon had “reached out” to her via “Facebook messenger to offer her free PI help”?

Aidan Kearney went on to further state;
Scanlon told me that he had told Yannetti that he had heard that Brian Albert’s nephew was involved in the beating, and that an ATF agent was also there.
He didn’t know the names of either of them at the time, but they fit the profile of Colin Albert and Brian Higgins.
This was likely the first time Yannetti had heard that Colin Albert was inside the house, which was a huge clue since Colin had previous disputes with his former neighbor John O’Keefe.
Prior to Scanlon’s visit to Yannetti’s office, Karen’s only attorney at the time was publicly skeptical of the Commonwealth’s story and said that his client should not be charged with manslaughter.
However, at the time Yannetti hadn’t made any comments alleging that O’Keefe was beaten inside the house.
Scanlon’s tip likely confirmed any suspicions Yannetti had, and was the official beginning of the defense’s pursuit of a third party culprit defense.
Scanlon seemed very evasive and nervous while talking to me.
He denied having first hand knowledge of what happened, or said that someone in the house told him what happened.
“It was only my opinion.”
But why would a PI approach a defense attorney if he was just another person with an opinion?
I got the impression while speaking with Scanlon that he knew more, but feared the wrath of Brian Albert.
He admitted to me that once they started to pursue Brian Albert’s involvement he refused to speak with them anymore.
But who could’ve told him that?
Surely Brian Albert wouldn’t confess to a random friend of his who clearly likes to blab.
But Scanlon does have a daughter who is around the same age as the Albert children, and lives in a town nearby. She is virtually invisible on social media and there are no images we could find of her with anyone involved in this case.
Also according to Aidan Kearney, he states:
Our sources at Moakley Courthouse tell us that Steve Scanlon has been subpoenaed and testified in front of a grand jury, specifically about his contact with Brian Albert, and his knowledge of what happened inside 34 Fairview Road.
If and when the indictments come we will find out what he told the grand jury.
But Scanlon’s February 3 trip to David Yannetti’s office was the first turning point in this story, and will be a major part of the way this story is retold when it finally comes to an end.
Will Karen Read be calling Steve Scanlon to give evidence during her trial for murder?
