Clues with Morgan Absher and Kaelyn Moore The Martha Moxley Case: A Murder Hidden by Wealth and Influence
On October 30, 1975, 15-year-old Martha Moxley spent the night before Halloween with friends in the exclusive Belle Haven neighborhood. By morning, she was found beaten to death beneath a tree in her backyard. A shattered 6-iron golf club, conflicting alibis from Tommy and Michael Skakel, the teenage sons of a wealthy, Kennedy-connected family next door, and entries from Martha’s diary guided investigators toward the house beside hers. However, early mistakes and powerful influence clouded the truth. Morgan and Kaelyn unravel the clues in a case where privilege, proximity, and secrecy shaped the search for justice.
