Her body was found the next morning under a pine tree in her own yard, the broken club nearby traced back to a set owned by her neighbors, the Skakels, a family related by marriage to the Kennedys. Despite the obvious lead, the case went cold for decades. Witnesses changed their stories, evidence was lost, and the family at the center of the investigation continued to live their lives. It took 25 years, a true crime book, and a tenacious investigator to finally bring charges. Even then, the conviction that followed would eventually be overturned, leaving the case in legal limbo. In this episode of Murder: True Crime Stories, host Carter Roy revisits one of the most notorious cold cases in American history, the wealth and influence that shielded a family from scrutiny, and the question that still divides Greenwich today: who really killed Martha Moxley?
