In 1969, Senator Ted Kennedy drove off a bridge on Chappaquiddick Island, leaving 28-year-old Mary Jo Kopechne trapped in a submerged car. He passed several houses, swam across the channel, and waited ten hours before telling anyone. By the time help showed up, she was gone, and the spin was already in motion. What followed wasn’t justice. It was damage control.

Martha Moxley was murdered in her own backyard, beaten to death with a golf club. The last person seen with her? The teenage son of one of the wealthiest families in Belle Haven—rich, connected, and untouchable. This should have been an easy case to solve, but from the moment Martha’s body was found, it was clear that only money and power would dictate what happened next.

CASE UPDATE
The night prior to episode release (12/2) major updates have emerged. Hannah was seen on video surveillance from U.S. Customs and Border Protection crossing into Mexico on foot alone with her luggage. She appeared unharmed. She is now considered voluntarily missing, but they are still searching for her to make sure she is safe. I will be posting a brief update episode with some corrections based on new information later today.

Hannah Kobayashi disappeared on November 11th after landing at LAX and missing her connecting flight to New York on the 8th. Hannah has freckles on her face and normally wears glasses. She has a tattoo of a heart with a knife on her inside right forearm and a passage on her back left shoulder.

Tragically, on November 23rd, after 13 days of searching for Hannah, her father Ryan passed away. RIP Ryan Kobayashi.

If you see Hannah call 911 OR Crimestoppers.Org 1-800-222-8477 IMMEDIATELY. If possible, watch her until police arrive.
