EP229: The Death of Martha Moxley

On October 31, 1975, around 12:15 in the afternoon, Sheila McGuire,
a teenager living in the exclusive Belle Haven community in
Greenwich, Connecticut, was walking from her house to her friend
Martha Moxley’s to invite her to go downtown that day. To get to
her friend’s house, she cut through a wooded section of their
backyard. She spotted underneath the low-hanging branches of a pine
tree what looked like a sleeping bag lying on top of a foam
mattress. As she continued to walk closer, she was able to see that
it was the partially clothed body of her friend, Martha Moxley.
