In this episode of Crimes and Consequences: Sheila McGuire, a teenager living in an exclusive community was walking from her house to her friend Martha Moxley’s, when she made a gruesome discovery. Sheila cut through a wooded section of their backyard and spotted underneath the low-hanging branches of a pine tree what looked like a sleeping bag lying on top of a foam mattress. As Sheila approached, she saw that it was the partially clothed body of her friend, Martha Moxley. Listen to this week’s episode to hear more.

Great job as always. Like friends chatting over true crime…. wait that is what you are! I think some people don't understand that.
I can do without the bad language from the lawyers after all they're supposed to be professionals that's just so ghetto
Why show a picture of her diary and tell us we won't be able to read it? Maybe read some of the entries for us instead of complimenting her handwriting. Watching and listening to you two makes me cringe.
Thank you! I seem to recall that Michael was actually rearrested later. Such a long time ago.
This presentation is horrible. The sidekick commentator just makes it worse.
I was in jr high when the book came out and I couldnt wait to read it. So sad. I was super intrigued by this case.
So just because these folks were affluent and had money they were too good to commit crimes….? WOW this is so weird.
So rich people don’t kill people??? GTFOH
👍👍👍👍👍
with the newest technologies of "contact DNA" and "familial DNA", I wish they would re-examine her clothes. Someone had to pull down her clothes and there's probably contact DNA in the waistbands etc but they probably don't want to risk any more of the communities tax dollars going after the same case.
I don’t think you should bring up topics and then say “I don’t know the details “ I read the book and the several things you didn’t know were in the book and you said you read the book.
You need to watch "Murder in Greenwich".
♥️ Thank you both, love your content. I had never prior heard of this case. RIP Martha 🕊️
Such a heartbreaking case!
A prison sentence is not good enough for the perpetrators of these crimes . You have some unfortunate folk who lose hands due to shoplifting . Bizarre but does act as a deterrent .
A life behind bars with 3 meals a day and computers and a tv and a counsellor is not a big enough deterrent .
I don’t know the answer but i would start along the lines of treating these animals with the utmost cruelty it would be hard to imagine .
Good luck people and stay safe ❤
Love you girls! I can call you girls as I am 77. I feel that Michael is indeed the murderer. What a horrible tragedy for Martha and her family. I have never forgotten it.
Omg hosts are so annoying
“mischief night” would get a lot of young people killed in this day and age sadly
your co host is annoying
I wish there was a show with it not just talk.
I was born in 1964 and played ding dog ditch.
I started watching ur channel and love it..
This case haunts me. RIP Martha ❤
viewer discretion is unadvised
I remember this sad case .😢
I think I’m so obsessed with true crime because it boggles my mind and I’m always wondering What is wired so differently in someone’s brain to make them do something like this?
Hopefully Hunter Biden had nothing to do with this on one of his drug fueled nights out…
