Martha Elizabeth Moxley, born August 16th 1960 in San Francisco, Calafornia.
Daughter of David (decessed) & Dorthy Moxley.
Sister of John Moxley.
Moved to Greenwich !973.
Martha is best known as the victim of a long-unsolved murder from 1975.
After a night of pre-halloween revelry in October 1975, 15year old Martha Moxley was bludgeoned and
stabbed to death with a 6-iron golf club in the exclusive Belle Haven section of Greenwich,
Connecticut. Suspects included a family tutor and two neighbourhood teens, Thomas and Michael
Skakel. (one point which made this case a sensation was that the Skakels were nephews of the late
Robert F Kennedy and his widow, Ethel Skakel Kennedy).
In 1993 author, Dominik Dunne wrote a best-selling novel, A Season In Purgatory, based on the
incident. Dunne later encouraged former Los Angeles Policeman Mark Fuhrman - (from the O J Simpson
murder trial) to investigate the Martha Moxley murder. Fuhrman's 1998 book A Murder In Greenwich
declared Michael Skakel to be the prime suspect, (Michael was never a suspect in the 1970's when the
murder happened).
In May 2002 Skakel's trial began, and on 7th June 2002, the jury found him guilty of Martha Moxley's
death. In August 2002 he was given a sentence of 20 years to life in Prison.
It is believed he murdered Martha out of jealousy of her and his older brother Tommy (Thomas
Skakel).
Since serving his sentence, Skakel has tried to appeal and has fortunately had no luck.
Martha is now in Heaven with her father David Moxley who had a massive heart attack in 1988.
I have not turned my back on you,
so there is no need to cry.
I'm watching you from heaven,
just beyond the morning sky.
I've seen you almost fall apart,
when you could barely stand.
I asked the Lord to comfort you,
and watched him take your hand.
He told me you are in more pain,
then I could ever be.
He wiped his eyes and swallowed hard,
then gave your hand to me.
Although you may not feel my touch,
or see me by your side.
I've whispered that I love you,
while I wiped each tear you cried.
So please try not to ache for me,
we'll meet again one day,
beyond the dark and stormy sky,
a Rainbow lights the way

Last night at bedtime I looked out
to say goodnight to you
and out the window through the clouds
a star came came shining through
It sparkled and it twinkled
like a precious diamond stone
it looked as if it winked at me
and I feel less alone
On earth we can see starlight
even if the star has gone
and though you are not with me
your light still does shine on
So though I cannot kiss your face
or tuck you in all tight
I'll look to heaven, see a star
and whisper your goodnight. XX
Love, Karen and family.xx.
