New '48 Hours' Episode Investigates The Death Of Martha Moxley

GREENWICH, CT — The television show "48 Hours" and correspondent Erin Moriarty will take a new look at the Martha Moxley case through the first television interviews with two of Moxley’s friends, Richard Burns and Tori Holland, in "The Diary of Martha Moxley" which is scheduled to be broadcast on Saturday, Nov. 6 at 10 p.m. ET on the CBS Television Network and streaming on Paramount+.

The show will also look at Moxley's own writings.

Moxley, who was 15 at the time, was beaten to death with a golf club on Oct. 30, 1975 in the Belle Haven neighborhood in Greenwich. Her body was discovered the next day.

The mystery has attracted national and worldwide attention over the years, especially since Moxley spent her last night alive with young members of the Skakel family, cousins of the Kennedy family.

Watch a preview of Saturday's episode:

In 2000, Michael Skakel, who was a neighbor of Moxley at the time of her death and was also 15, was charged with Moxley's murder. He was convicted in 2002 and sentenced to 20 years to life in prison.

Skakel spent more than a decade in prison, but in 2013, a judge granted him a new trial, saying his first attorney didn't represent him adequately.

In 2018, the Connecticut Supreme Court vacated his murder conviction and ordered a new trial. In 2020, prosecutors said they would not retry him.
