further
investigation. An aggressive look into exactly who had
a hand in the Windham trip and the decisions of the
family immediately following the murder must be
initiated. The issue of how Littleton made the trip
should be one of the foremost concerns.
Unfortunately, there are many issues with regards to
Ken Littleton that need further investigation and
clarification before any resolution can be reached as
to his possible involvement in the murder of Martha
Moxley. As mentioned earlier in this section, a great
number of allegations and innuendos have been made
against Littleton, particularly after Greenwich
Police Detectives Soloman [Solomon] and Garr recently
intensified their interest in him. According to Ken,
he willingly submitted to their questioning, but
finally relented after it was clear he was being
given "the naked light-bulb treatment." Some of the
allegations are as follows: 1) Ken Littleton had some
sort of a sexual encounter with the wife of a fellow
teacher from the Brunswick school at a softball
picnic during the Spring of 1976. Although there were
no charges brought, it has been alleged that
Littleton was attempting to rape her. 2) Other
somewhat similar incidents of teenaged girls
bludgeoned to death are alleged to have occurred in
close proximity to Littleton's whereabouts. 3)
Littleton was arrested for DWI and Assault and
Battery, after having been driving the wrong way down
a street frequented by prostitutes. He mumbled that
"he had to speak to the Kennedys."
On the other hand, here are a few details we know to
be accurate: 1) Within a year of the murder,
Littleton was given and failed two polygraph tests.
At first, Littleton claimed he was being represented
by Tommy's attorney, Manny Margolis, but then
retained John Meerbergen. 2) After making a full
confession with regards to his crime spree on
Nantucket, Littleton is given a 5-7 year suspended
sentence in May of 1977. He refused to submit to a
sodium amytal interview regarding the murder of
Martha Moxley in exchange for a reduced charge. 3)
Littleton was arrested at least three times in
Orlando, Florida. On February 14, 1982, his [WW] is convicted on charges of
trespassing and disorderly conduct. When arrested, he
gives a false name. On February 28, 1982, he is
convicted of disorderly conduct again. On March 3,
1982, Littleton is convicted of shoplifting. We know
he was drinking heavily at this point. 4) In
subsequent years, he was arrested for numerous DWI
offenses.
The period when Littleton was in Florida, however, is
of special portent. Martha Moxley's father, before
his passing, recorded in his papers that Littleton
called him at that time and expressed condolence for
Martha's death, saying he wanted to take a sodium
pentathol test to help solve the case. When asked
about this call by our investigator in Boston,
Littleton initially denied ever speaking with Mr.
Moxley. He claimed that only his wife had actually
spoke [sp] to Mr. Moxley. When later
confronted with the specific recollections of the
call from Mr. Moxley's personal papers, Littleton
conceded he may have spoken to him while in a state
of severe intoxication, stating, "Maybe I spoke to
him when I was really shit-faced." Littleton's
accusers have pointed to this incident as an
indication of his guilt and need for
contrition.
Given his devastated existence, the notion that
Littleton is somehow haunted by his actions, or
inactions, regarding the murder of Martha Moxley,
seems unavoidable. "I attribute [my life's
