Description

In 1975, 15-year-old Martha Moxley was brutally murdered with a golf club in the exclusive Belle Haven neighborhood of Greenwich, Connecticut. When police questioned her neighbor, Michael Skakel, something chilling happened: he had a perfect alibi ready before anyone even asked for one.

This episode examines the psychological evidence that may have been more damning than any physical proofโ€”how an unnaturally detailed, confident explanation revealed deadly intent rather than innocence. We explore the disturbing psychology of over-preparation, the role of privilege in delayed justice, and how the most dangerous alibis aren't the ones that fall apart... but the ones that are too perfect to believe.

From the insular world of America's wealthy elite to therapy recordings that shattered a decades-old lie, this is the story of how a "perfect" story became the most imperfect evidence of guilt.
