On Halloween 1975 the small elite community of Belle Haven, Connecticut, was transformed from a safe gated neighbourhood to a town of fear and suspicion when Martha’s body was discovered. Martha, a 15-year-old schoolgirl, had been out with friends for Mischief Night, but failed to return home for her curfew. In the morning a search party was formed to try and locate her. One of her friends on route to join the search found Martha on her parents’ property, she had been savagely beaten and stabbed... the main suspect...a relation of the Kennedys...

This conversation examines the parallel investigations of the cold case team, working for the State Attorney, and the private investigators, Sutton Associates, in the early 90s. It details how each investigation starts to point towards the same person and the bombshell revelations given by two key suspects during interviews confirm what the police have long suspected… that a Skakel killed Martha Moxley...
