Revisiting Murder in Greenwich: The 'Unsolved' Case of Martha Moxley

We are back this week with our 2nd Halloween True Crime Story rerun. Kendra brings us the tragic murder of Martha Moxley, still considered "unsolved" today. But everyone kind of knows who did it... Greenwich, CT was the place you moved to keep your kids safe, especially if you could afford the elite Bell Haven neighborhood. But the illusion of safety was shattered for everyone in the community when the beautiful, young 15 year old Martha was found bludgeoned to death on Halloween...in her own backyard. How could something like this happen?? Police were not prepared to handle a homicide investigation and the case went cold for many years.  20 years after her death, new information led to the conviction of someone that lived very close to Martha with ties to the Kennedy family.  He would be sentenced 20 years to life but would only serve 11 years before he was released on appeal. To this day, the Moxley family has no clear answers or closure for the senseless death of their beloved daughter. Let's discuss how money and influential family ties may have played into this miscarriage of justice.  __________ Please rate and subscribe on iTunes and anywhere else you listen to podcasts!

Revisiting the Halloween Murder of Arpana Jinaga

Arpana was a beautiful, talented, wildly smart 24-year-old living her best life in Redmond, Washington, when her life was cut short. She held an apartment-wide Halloween party with other residents. This fun night ended in her brutal murder. The question remains today, 15 years later… Who did it? One person was charged with her death, but he was acquitted, and for good reason. But why is this case so hard to solve? The answer is multi-faceted - DNA, racism, and shoddy police work. You name it. There was a plethora of DNA with no strong matches, but we think we know who the culprit is. And we think you’ll agree! Join us as we go over all the possibilities. --- Please rate and subscribe on iTunes and anywhere else you listen to podcasts!!

Chris Watts: The Colorado Family Killer (Part 2 of 2)

Kendra covers one of the most haunting and heartbreaking  cases of recent years: the story of Chris Watts. In August 2018, the seemingly picture-perfect Watts family of Frederick, Colorado, was torn apart by an unthinkable crime. Shanann Watts, a devoted wife and mother, along with her two young daughters, Bella and Celeste, vanished without a trace. As friends and neighbors rallied to find them, Chris Watts appeared on camera pleading for their safe return. But behind his calm demeanor was a cold-blooded killer.  In our 2nd episode of this 2 part series on the Watts family murders, we will discuss what happened after Shanann returned home from her trip on Aug 13, the grim discovery, Chris' confession and the aftermath from the murders of Shanann, Bella and Celeste. We will also discuss our take on what Chris Watts may have been thinking, what experts believe led up to his brutal actions and where everyone is at today.  __________ Please rate and subscribe on your favorite Podcast platform!
