It was the night before Halloween - October 30, 1975 - also known as Mischief Night - an evening filled with pranks, like throwing toilet paper on trees and eggs at houses. For 15-year-old Martha Moxley, it was an ordinary night of hanging out with her friends - including 15-year-old Michael Skakel and his 17-year-old brother Tommy. The Skakel boys were part of a wealthy well-known family, related to American political royalty - the Kennedys.

Before the clock struck midnight, Martha would be violently murdered, her battered body found under a pine tree near her Belle Haven home the following morning. She had been bludgeoned with a golf club - one that would match a set from the Skakel home. It was a vicious attack that felt extremely personal, with several potential suspects, varying witness statements, alibis and motives.

What followed was a messy murder investigation and trial that would take decades to unfold.
