Inside the Mind of a Child Murderer: The Marissa Kennedy Story

Inside the Mind of a Child Murderer: The Marissa Kennedy Story is a haunting true crime documentary that exposes the systemic failures behind one of Maine’s most tragic child abuse cases. Marissa Kennedy was just 10 years old when she was murdered by the very people meant to protect her—her mother and stepfather. Despite over 25 reports made to authorities by teachers, doctors, and neighbors, no one stepped in. This seven-part investigative series uncovers the disturbing layers of manipulation, missed warnings, courtroom revelations, and hard-fought reforms that followed. With gripping narration and verified facts, we explore how a child’s voice was drowned by red tape—and how her legacy is forcing change across an entire state. If you care about justice, child protection, and the truth behind tragic headlines—this is a story you cannot miss.
