139. The Murder of Martha Moxley – Part 1

Journalist Andrew Goldman, host of the podcast Dead Certain, returns for Part 2 of our multi-part series on the murder of Martha Moxley. In this episode, we take a closer look at Martha’s injuries, the forensic evidence, and what the crime scene may reveal about the sequence of events on the night of October 30, 1975. We discuss the apparent initial attack near the driveway, the movement through the yard, the broken golf club recovered at the scene, and the violence of the assault. Drawing from autopsy findings, crime scene evidence, and investigative reports, we examine what the offender’s actions may suggest about the nature of the attack and offender behavior.You can follow The Consult on social media:X/TwitterInstagramFacebookJoin our Facebook fan page (created by fans for fans): UNSUBSGet The Consult MerchFor additional information and resources, please visit our episode website: https://www.truecrimeconsult.com/140-the-murder-of-martha-moxley-part-2/Music “Light in the Basement” by John Hanske.
