On October 30, 1975, fifteen-year-old Martha Moxley failed to return home after a night out with friends in Belle Haven, an exclusive wealthy enclave in Greenwich, CT. The following morning, Moxley’s badly beaten body was discovered underneath a tree, just a few hundred feet from her house, triggering one of the most notorious murder mysteries in the state’s history.

The Morbid podcast delves into the 1975 murder of 15-year-old Martha Moxley in Greenwich, Connecticut, a case that shocked the affluent community and remained unsolved for decades due to a combination of inexperience, class privilege, and alleged cover-ups. The episode explores how Martha’s brutal killing — with a golf club belonging to the Skakel family — became entangled with the powerful Kennedy-connected Skakels, whose wealth and influence may have derailed the investigation.
Ash Kelley and Alaina Urquhart return for a hilariously scathing bonus episode of Morbid, tearing into Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part 1 with equal parts rage, disbelief, and affection, calling out its absurd lore, toxic relationships, and deeply problematic themes — especially around imprinting and gender.
On this episode of Morbid, hosts Alaina Urquhart and Ash Kelley kick off with merch news — a new candle and horned hoodie — before diving into a chilling round of Listener Tales featuring ghostly children, imaginary classrooms, and spectral daycare visitors. The stories range from eerie to heartwarming, with themes of grief, connection, and the thin veil between worlds.
The episode covers the horrifying true crime case of Mark Kilroy, a college student abducted and ritually murdered in 1989 by a drug-smuggling cult in Matamoros, Mexico, led by Adolfo Constanzo, who blended Afro-Cuban religious practices with extreme violence and human sacrifice. The story unfolds through a detailed investigation that exposes a network of brutality, manipulation, and spiritual delusion.
This first part of a two-part episode covers the disappearance of Mark Kilroy, a promising 21-year-old pre-med student from Texas, during spring break in 1989 in Matamoros, Mexico. What begins as a missing persons case spirals into a chilling investigation that uncovers a drug-smuggling ring entangled with a satanic cult performing human sacrifices for supernatural protection.
In a harrowing yet ultimately empowering true crime story, 15-year-old Mary Vincent survived a brutal 1978 attack by serial predator Lawrence Singleton, who raped, beat, and severed both of her arms before leaving her for dead. Against all odds, she crawled to safety, identified her attacker, and became a symbol of resilience—while the criminal justice system failed her by releasing Singleton after just eight years, leading to another murder.
Alaina Urquhart hosts a solo episode of Morbid while co-host Ash Kelley recovers, diving into a gruesome history of medieval torture devices and sharing exciting updates about a new game and merch drop.
