Alicia definitely falls into a rabbit hole in this episode from the Patreon Vault. Dominick Dunne writes just one little paragraph in his reporting on the von Bulow case that was definitely worth investigating. Dunne makes a mention about Paul E. Molitor, Jr., who was kind of a big deal in Newport for a little while, for his preservation efforts and being a houseguest of Sunny and Claus. But it is really his mysterious death, just at the height of his triumph, that is the real mystery. Continue your investigation with ad-free and bonus episodes on Patreon!

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for June 10, 2025 is: minutia • muh-NOO-shee-uh • noun Minutia refers to a small or minor detail. It is usually used in its plural form minutiae. // Unaccustomed to legalese, I was bewildered by the contract's minutiae. See the entry > Examples: “The novel is an intricate thatch of corkscrew twists, vivid characters, dead-on colloquial dialogue, and lawyerly minutiae that culminates in a courtroom showdown worthy of Dominick Dunne.” — David Friend, Vanity Fair, 1 Apr. 2025 Did you know? We'll try not to bore you with the minor details of minutia, though some things are worth noting about the word's history and usage. It'll only take a minute! Minutia was borrowed into English in the 18th century from the Latin plural noun minutiae, meaning “trifles” or “details,” which comes from the singular noun minutia, meaning “smallness.” In English, minutia is most often used in the plural as either minutiae (pronounced muh-NOO-shee-ee) or, on occasion, as simply minutia. The Latin minutia, incidentally, comes from minutus (also the ancestor of the familiar English word minute), an adjective meaning “small” that was created from the verb minuere, meaning “to lessen.”

This week, we travel alongside Dominick Dunne on a quest for justice in the murder of Martha Moxley, slain in the exclusive enclave of Greenwich, Connecticut, on October 30, 1975. The investigation was dormant for almost two decades, but our man Nick gets a whiff of a bigger mystery during the rape trial of William Kennedy Smith in 1991. With his curiosity aroused, Dunne begins his own investigation, resulting in his 1993 novel A Season in Purgatory, a fictional telling of the crime. But Dunne hadn't really solved anything. With the help of a confidential informant, Dunne has access to the Sutton Report – the file the Skakel family never wants seen. Dunne is going to make sure someone sees that report to continue the journey for justice for Martha. That person is former LAPD detective Mark Fuhrman. Continue your investigation with ad-free and bonus episodes on Patreon!To advertise on Done & Dunne, please reach out to info@amplitudemediapartners.com.SourcesJustice: Crimes, Trials, and Punishements, by Dominick Dunne (Amazon)Trail of Guilt, by Dominick Dunne.

In this introductory episode about Dunne's writing on the Kennedy family, we explore a bit of the history and background about exactly why the Kennedy family hated Dominick Dunne so much. Dunne was there to cover so many of their scandals, and unlike the Kennedy men, always kept the inconvenient woman at the center of his narratives.

A deeply personal tragedy, and a horrific crime, accelerates Dominick's transition into a warrior for justice. In a combination of previous episodes from our podcast investigation, we meet Dominique Dunne, the beloved California child of Nick and Lenny, whose murder at the hands of her ex-boyfriend in 1982 was chronicled for Vanity Fair in her grieving father's own words. We have certain underlying assumptions about how the criminal justice works, and how the courtroom will treat the grieving family of a murder victim. Nick sure did, until it was his family gathered in a Los Angeles courthouse, watching a grave miscarriage of justice play out as the man who murdered his daughter Dominique stood trial. It was a wrenching crime followed by an appalling miscarriage of justice, chronicled by none other than the grieving father of the victim. Alicia takes us through the trial of the man who strangled Dominique Dunne to death, presided over by a self-serving judge with a soft spot for the defense team, with a verdict rendered by a jury which was not allowed to hear key evidence as it debated lesser charges than the prosecution wanted.
