is also
testimony from her friends stating Martha was known to
have snuck out of her house on other occasions. Given
that her mother, Mrs. Moxley, is alleged to have been
intoxicated on the night in question, it seems all too
possible that Martha could have returned home, and
either her mother was never aware, or simply, in an
alcoholic stupor, forgot that Martha had made an
appearance.
This would mean Martha could have been murdered later
that night, perhaps by Tommy. Why, we find ourselves
asking again, does a suspect who has been
successfully deceiving for many years, suddenly come
forth with new, unflattering and potentially
incriminating details? Michael did just this when he
altered and amended the story he had been telling the
police to include the followin. (from the time-line):
11:33 pm--According to John Skakel, as
reported to Sutton investigators while under hypnosis
on either 1/6/93 or 3/15/93, someone went in or out
of the house at this point. "It was changing to 11:33
on the clock radio." John remembers, "Something going
on in the mud room." And then "the noise ... the
sound of the back door." Questioned again about this
point on May 4, 1993, John added: "I didn't hear
anything in the kitchen, so whoever it was must not
have gone through the kitchen."
11:40 pm--Michael reported to Willis Krebs, during
his interview on 8/4/92, that a short time after
going to bed, at approximately 11:40 pm, he used the
front hallway rear door to exit the house. Krebs
reports: "Upon leaving the house, he ran towards
Walsh Lane and after passing the Moxley residence,
turned right into a driveway, walked to the end and
approached a ground floor window of the house.
Michael stated that he had been at the house on other
occasions to look at the woman who resided therein
(name unknown). This woman, on many previous
occasions, would not be wearing clothing. On this
occasion the woman was lying on a couch wearing some
sort of night garment. After looking into the window
for a short period of time, he walked to the Moxley's
house, climbed a tree and looked into the room he
thought was Martha's. He yelled at the window,
"Martha, Martha," but there was no response. Michael
then stated that he masturbated to orgasm in the
tree. After climbing down, he stopped near a street
light on Walsh Lane. Michael stated that he felt
"someone's presence" in the area where Martha's body
was eventually discovered. He yelled "into the
darkness" and threw something at the trees. Still
fearing what was there he ran back to his house. He
crossed in front of his house, and finding all doors
locked, climbed to the second floor and entered his
room through his bedroom window. He felt he was out
of the house between 30 and 45 minutes, arriving home
at sometime around 12:30 am. Once in his room, he
went to sleep."
It is difficult for anyone to process
this information, let alone begin to understand what
it may mean. What is Michael trying to tell us? Is
this the whole truth? Is this true at all? Michael
had told the police he went straight to bed and did
not leave the house after returning from the
Terrien's [Terriens'] with Rush and Michael
[John]. Is it possible that Michael
became aware of John's (and others) testimony about
someone coming in and out of the house and became
alarmed, because it was him? Is this why he felt
compelled to come forward with this story? He is
telling us that he may have come physically close to
the murdered [sp] "someone's presence." This is
incredible testimony.
