On Halloween morning in 1975, fifteen-year-old Martha Moxley was found dead beneath a tree in her family's yard in Belle Haven, one of the most exclusive neighborhoods in Greenwich, Connecticut. She had been beaten to death with a golf club the night before, just hours after participating in harmless Mischief Night pranks with friends.The murder weapon was traced to a set of clubs belonging to a wealthy neighboring family with connections to American political royalty. Multiple witnesses placed Martha with members of that family on the night she died. But as detectives began their investigation, they encountered resistance that would define the case for decades to come.What followed was a fifty-year saga involving changed alibis, failed polygraphs, leaked private investigations, legal maneuvering, and a justice system tested by the intersection of privilege and accountability. The case would consume the lives of everyone it touched—from Martha's mother Dorthy, who spent the rest of her life seeking answers, to the suspects whose stories shifted with each retelling.This is the story of a murder that should have been solved in days but instead became one of America's most notorious cold cases. It's a story about wealth, power, and the questions that emerge when the pursuit of justice collides with families who have the resources to build walls around the truth.What really happened on Mischief Night in Belle Haven? And when the investigation finally ended, had justice been served—or had it slipped away in the shadows of privilege and time?Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/nightwatch-files--6484889/support.SUPPORT THE SHOW & LISTEN AD-FREEJoin our Patreon and unlock ad-free episodes directly in Apple Podcasts or Spotify after you connect your Patreon account.
