In 2015, Jason Corbett thought he had found love again after losing his first wife to a sudden illness. The Irish businessman married Molly Martens, his children's nanny from North Carolina, and moved his family to America for a fresh start. What happened next would tear two families apart and spark an international legal battle that's still making headlines today.

On August 2nd, 2015, police rushed to the Martens family home in Davidson County after a frantic 911 call. They found 39-year-old Jason Corbett dead in his bedroom, his skull crushed by a baseball bat and concrete paving stone. Standing over his body were his wife Molly and her father Thomas Martens, a retired FBI agent, both claiming they killed Jason in self-defense.

But Jason's family back in Ireland tells a completely different story. His sister Tracey and his children from his first marriage paint a picture of a loving father who was planning to leave his troubled second marriage. They believe Molly and her father murdered Jason to prevent him from taking his children back to Ireland, where they would lose access to them forever.

The case shocked both America and Ireland when Molly Martens and Thomas Martens were initially convicted of second-degree murder in 2017. However, their convictions were overturned on appeal, leading to a controversial plea deal for voluntary manslaughter that saw both defendants released from prison after serving just four years.

Netflix's documentary "A Deadly American Marriage" brought international attention to the Jason Corbett murder case, but many believe it only told one side of the story. Jason's family has fought tirelessly to share their version of events, writing books and giving countless interviews to ensure their beloved Jason isn't forgotten.

Today we're diving deep into this complex case that spans two continents. We'll examine the evidence, the conflicting testimonies, and the legal twists that left many questioning whether justice was truly served. From the initial 911 call to the controversial plea bargain, this is the complete story of Jason Corbett's death and the family's ongoing fight for answers.

Was this really a case of self-defense against domestic violence, or did a father and daughter get away with murder? The truth might be more disturbing than anyone imagined.

On November 13, 2022, four University of Idaho students were brutally murdered in their sleep—stabbed to death in a blood-soaked house just steps from campus. The killer left almost no trace… except for one fatal mistake.

Bryan Kohberger, a criminology Ph.D. student obsessed with criminal psychology, became the prime suspect. But how did a man who studied murder allegedly become a murderer himself? And why did the FBI bury the 4:17 AM security tape - a bone-chilling audio clip of the victims’ final moments - until now?

In this explosive episode, we reveal:

• The twisted 37-second audio captured by a neighbor’s camera: whimpers, a dog’s bark, and the killer’s fleeing footsteps - unedited and uncensored.
• How Kohberger’s academic research on “ex-convict emotions” eerily mirrors the Idaho slayings.
• Never-before-heard leaks from the FBI’s genetic genealogy team: the “tan knife sheath” blunder that tied Kohberger to the crime.
• Survivor testimony: What the surviving roommate really saw at 4:00 AM - and why police hid her identity for 2 years.
• Shocking new theories: Did Kohberger target the house months earlier? And why was his phone turned off for 121 minutes that night?

With exclusive interviews, unreleased court documents, and a breakdown of the killer’s alleged “autism defense,” this is the definitive account of America’s most disturbing true crime saga.
