My name is Colleen O’Keefe. I was married to a Michael O’Keefe. He talked the talk but didn’t walk the walk. He was a biker, con man, probably sociopath and definitely a nasty drunk. This sounds exactly like my x. Please feel free to contact me. Thanks.

This chick has a history of stabbing. She has been portrayed as some sort of innocent Christian…but it is clear she is a murderer who is destined to burn in hell. Though she is ONE ugly broad and may be turned away from hell.

Yes, she did. But Jack specifically said she had murdered someone, so I wanted to know who that was. I personally believe she was let off easy for trying to kill her husband.

So now the truth came out and she has been acquitted. Where’s your theories now?

Thanks for the update. I have added it to the post.

Her story was shown on Deadly Women. I think he was a con man, who pretended to have found God. Lydia just wanted a good, Christian man. Why she thought a biker fit that bill, shows how gullible and naive she was. He wasn’t stabbed for being a biker. He spent his time only with his biker friends, and never with her. I think he also was physically abusing her
