We are back this week with our 2nd Halloween True Crime Story rerun. Kendra brings us the tragic murder of Martha Moxley, still considered "unsolved" today. But everyone kind of knows who did it...
Greenwich, CT was the place you moved to keep your kids safe, especially if you could afford the elite Bell Haven neighborhood. But the illusion of safety was shattered for everyone in the community when the beautiful, young 15 year old Martha was found bludgeoned to death on Halloween...in her own backyard. How could something like this happen?? Police were not prepared to handle a homicide investigation and the case went cold for many years.
20 years after her death, new information led to the conviction of someone that lived very close to Martha with ties to the Kennedy family. He would be sentenced 20 years to life but would only serve 11 years before he was released on appeal. To this day, the Moxley family has no clear answers or closure for the senseless death of their beloved daughter. Let's discuss how money and influential family ties may have played into this miscarriage of justice.
