The story we're going to talk about today is a horrifying and technically unsolved murder that rocked the affluent town of Greenwich, Connecticut to its core.

On the evening of October 30, 1975, Martha Moxley, a popular 15-year-old girl who lived with her parents, Dorothy and David, and brother John, was discovered

dead in the backyard of her family's home with severe injuries. Injuries so severe, she was

hardly recognizable.

I was chatting with Mark, who is a listener of this podcast and someone that I would consider a true crime friend. We've talked about a lot of different things. We were talking about how my voice is so much different when I

was sick and I was struggling to breathe and still trying to do this podcast versus how I sound

And I still have, like, I've got the sniffles a little bit and I do have allergies, which compounds issues like nobody's business. It usually doesn't last this long. But aside from that, I am

fully back to my old self, I think. I'm pretty sure. Knock on wood. I don't know if my desk

is even real wood. I could have just jinx myself. All right, before we get going with your story
