But they still have no real leads at all to the person who killed Martha Moxley last Thursday night.

On the night before Halloween in 1975, 15-year-old Martha Moxley was murdered in the Tony Belhaven neighborhood of Greenwich, Connecticut.

She was rich and beautiful and loved by all who knew her.

For decades, despite intense media scrutiny, police failed to make an arrest.

Over the years, the police had their suspects.

This individual is the last to see the victim.

But none of the leads stuck.

And eventually the case went ice cold.

Until in 2000, 25 years after Martha's murder, her one-time neighbor, Michael Skakel, was arrested.

He'd been 15, like her, at the time of the crime.

He was also a cousin of the Kennedys.

The Kennedy connection is the reason that most people know about this case, or at least think they know about it.

I watched the news.

I read the articles.

Of course Michael Skakel killed his next-door neighbor Martha Moxley.

He beat her to death with a golf club.

I knew it.

And if you followed the case like I did, I bet you knew it too.
