Murder in Greenwich Audiobook Summary

Newsflash: Grand Jury just empaneled to investigate the unsolved murder of Martha Moxley!

The night of October 30, 1975, fifteen-year-old Martha Moxley was bludgeoned and stabbed with a golf club on the grounds of her family1s Greenwich home.

The golf club that killed Martha came from the house of Thomas and Michael Skakel, two boys who had been with Martha the night she died.

Wealthy and prominent in their own right, the Skakels were also related to the Kennedys, as Ethel Skakel Kennedy was the boys’ aunt. When the police started looking closely at the Skakels’ involvement, the family refused to cooperate.

In Murder in Greenwich, the former LAPD homicide detective Mark Fuhrman follows his controversial role in the O.J. Simpson trial by investigating the unsolved homicide from the beginning. Using his detective skills, he analyzes the case and uncovers explosive new information.

Mark Fuhrman reveals: – How the local police mishandled the investigation from the beginning.- How the murder weapon was found-and then lost-at the crime scene. – How wealth and influence interfered with the investigation.- How authorities tried to stop Fuhrman’s investigation.

A beautiful teenager was brutally murdered in an exclusive and well-guarded suburb. How could it happen? Why did her killer get away with it? Who was involved in the cover-up? What role did the town of Greenwich itself play in this tragic story? From his investigation, Mark Fuhrman will offer his answer to these questions, as well as the question that everyone is still asking “Who killed Martha Moxley?”

This one definitely Left me thinking and wondering. Like there’s just so many things that didn’t add up, didn’t make sense, etc about the way all of the whole thing was handled. I have my ideas about what I think probably happened but so does everyone else it seems.

I think the author of this book, Mark Fuhrman, should be applauded for taking up and researching this long cold case. My heartbreaks and absolutely goes out to the Moxley family. What a horrble tragedy to have to endure. Then to have your "friends", neighbors, community and even law enforcement basically turn their backs on you and refuse to pursue the case. I can't imagine what that must feel like. Today everyone talks about "white privlege", but I don't believe in that. I believe "privlege" exists along socioeconomic lines and how much power people have. This case is a prime example of that and it happened back in 1975. They may have been inexperienced at the time, but investigators could have simply followed protocol. They chose not to do that, to hide evidence and ignore suspects because of their family ties. I believe everyone in that community knew who did it the moment her body was discovered and they did everything they could to hinder the investigation in hopes of getting "in" with the Kennedys. If you follow up on this case, you will find that the work put into this book did lead to an arrest and conviction in this case. However, the high court of Conneticut vacated that conviction after 11 years and the Supreme Court refused to here the case. The original appeal was rejected and after one of the high court judges retired, the court reconsidered the appeal and released the guilty party, Michael Skakel. Proving once again that money & power dominate our system and society. If you or I were convicted of a crime, any crime, our appeal once denied would not be "reconsidered". Of no Kennedy would be asking on my behalf either. Nobody seems to care that a 15 year old girl lost her life. Well, maybe they care, they just care more about the rich & famous.

An excellent read. Mark Fuhrman rather easily solves a crime that was beyond the reach of the Greenwich PD.

My reading experience was kind of good. The book was amazing, but the pace of the book was really slow which led me to take longer to read the book. I don't like reading a book for a long undetermined amount of time. I liked the description and the sort of investigative language used in the book. This definitely helped me imagine what happened in Greenwich. I was confused on why there was so much much repetition in the book. For example each chapter would talk about the same thing in different words and I think the book could have been wrapped up a lot quicker if they took out a big chunk.This book helps answer the question "How do individuals develop values and beliefs". After this murder the Moxley's deeply changed in a social aspect and a private aspect. This also developed my since of mystery and a little bit of suspicion and distrust in people who I consider close. People don't realize that books, movies, and entertainment in general shape how we perceive the people around us and the world around us."Maybe Littleton wasn't sure. Or maybe he made himself sound less certain than he actually was". I would recommend this book to people who are interested un true crime novels and/or podcast. I think people who like to take their time reading a book.https://www.amazon.com/dp/0060191414?...

Very good book. I remember Fuhrman from the O.J. trial, and he was a total a**, with that being said he is a much better author then police officer. This book was easy to read and told a lot about Martha and her family. It is also a good look at the fact that crime has always happened, it is just now you hear about everything via television, computer, laptop, tablet, phone, etc. then you did at the time of this crime.

I call Mark Fuhrman "America's Homicide Detective" because he did not let the OJ disaster ruin his life. In both the OJ case and the Skakel case, Mr Fuhrman stared down the barrel of the fiercest darkest elements American society has to offer and not only survived but continues to thrive. I read this book in a single day. Mr Fuhrman is a fine true crime writer.

Such a sad case but well done by Fuhrman providing the facts. It's sad that money can cover up such a crime and that no one wants to tell the truth, even after all this time. One of these brothers did it. There is no reason for an outside person to have done such a thing, even if they were in the neighborhood that night.
