there. Is
this why you mentioned the pebble-throwing to me? asked
our investigator. Instantly guarded, Littleton first
replied that he didn't think he had mentioned anything
about pebbles in the previous interview. It became
quickly clear Littleton was now on the back-peddle,
once again holding back. He was asked if there was ever
a time he saw Michael out there after hours? Did you
see him throwing pebbles at the window? Ken's response:
"No." Would you tell us if you did? Would you tell
anyone if you did? Ken's response: "No."
A little later on in the interview, the conversation
returned to this point. By now, Littleton was
learning more about what Michael had told Sutton
Associates. He seemed confused that Michael would be
approaching Martha since he believed Martha and Tommy
to have been "an item." He said John Moxley was the
source for this information about Tommy and Martha's
relationship. "I don't know," said Littleton. I find
it very unusual that Michael would be involved in any
quote, unquote, after hours activities."
Littleton did not elaborate on this response. He did,
however, point out how illogical it would be for him
to have been sneaking around on his first night. Our
investigator concurred with the improbability of such
a scenario, and then came clean with the actuality of
what Michael had reported, stating, "You said
something about maybe someone was throwing pebbles to
try and lure her out of the house, and then he comes
up and tells me the same thing. That was the
connection. Then he tells me, he's not sure who it
was, but he saw someone else on the property."
Considering what he had just learned about Michael's
activities that night, Littleton changed his position
again. Speculating, he could now see Michael
committing the murder at that point. Again, he
referred to Michael's alleged cocaine use and his
sadistic behavior while on the hunting trip as
influencing his intuition on this matter.
Details about this curious hunting trip remain
unclear and conflicted. Littleton asserts that he
drove the Skakel family's recreational vehicle up to
Windham with the rest of the family members. Others
have stated that Littleton went up separately, taking
his own car. The complete significance of this
discrepancy is uncertain, but many allegations have
been made about what actually transpired during this
hunting trip. A [WW] face value, it seems to have
been a vaguely indecorous reaction to a serious
tragedy which struck close to home. At, reportedly,
Mr. Skakel's request, the family members still around
for the weekend were shuttled up to the country house
in Windham for some hunting. Skeptics and conspiracy
theorists suspect this could have been a contrived
retreat designed for the family to orchestrate the
particulars of their cover-up. There have been
unsubstantiated reports of Skakel attorneys being
present at Windham that weekend. Littleton has stated
there were many lawyers present at the Skakel home
the afternoon following the discovery of Martha's
body. This has been denied by the family. Some
suggest that since the family recreational vehicle
was known to be a place the boys partied and took
willing young women, perhaps there was pertinent
evidence which needed to be cleaned out. By the same
token, accusers of Littleton suggest the reason he
took his own car could have been because it allowed
him to dispose of his own incriminating
evidence.
The truth of what transpired during that weekend is
another aspect of this case which demands
