Fifty years after the brutal murder of 15-year-old Martha Moxley in a wealthy Connecticut suburb, her case remains unsolved despite national media attention and a long police investigation. Michael Skakel, a cousin of the Kennedy family, was convicted in 2002 but had his conviction overturned in 2013. The new podcast “Dead Certain: The Martha Moxley Murder” explores the case, featuring interviews with Skakel, who reflects on his troubled upbringing. Moxley was found beaten with a golf club, and the investigation initially focused on various suspects, including Skakel’s brother and their tutor, but no one was charged.
