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!

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.

Karin berättar om Scott Amedure som var med i The Jenny Jones Show för att berätta för Jonathan Schmitz att han hade en crush på honom – och blev mördad. Anna berättar om mordet på Dominique Dunne, ett mord som fick hennes pappa, journalisten Dominick Dunne, att börja rapportera om brottsfall.

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.

This week, we open a whole new investigation into the murders of Jose and Kitty Menendez, at the hands on their sons, Lyle and Erik. The grisly crime committed in Beverly Hills on August 20, 1989, was extensively covered by Dominick Dunne, over the course of a number of years. In this episode, we begin at the very start, by exploring Dunne's initial coverage from October 1990. His “Nightmare on Elm Drive” is an excellent baseline for the case, still in early days, before the years make the details far murkier. All sources can be found at doneanddunne.com.

In this episode, we take Dominick Dunne through many decades of his turbulent career, and get our man Nick redeemed in the Hollywood scene in the mid-1990s. Dunne knew the Bloomingdales and the Reagans socially back in his Hollywood halcyon days in the 1960s, but was most certainly booted out of their circle by his 1970s downfall. With the publication of his 1984 coverage on the murder of Vicki Morgan, and his subsequent roman a clef An Inconvenient Woman, many folks would not have anticipated that Dunne would get back into the good graces of the West Coast Queens, Betsy Bloomingdale and Nancy Reagan. Dunne does that, and so much more. Included in this episode are so many familiar characters from our ongoing investigation, and a few new characters too, including Jerry Zipkin, Heidi Fleiss, Alfredo de la Vega, Marcia Clark, Elizabeth Taylor and Michael Jackson and his chimpanzee too.

In this week's episode, we take a journey to the second criminal case Dominick Dunne covered in his reporting for Vanity Fair. When Vicki Morgan was murdered in July 1983, it sent shockwaves through the political upper crust, as Vicki was the mistress of Alfred Bloomingdale, connected into the Reagan administration through the decades. Dominick Dunne was there for the June 1984 trial of Vicki's murderer, Marvin Pancoast, who was found guilty of murder in the first degree, but not everyone believed the story as it was presented on the surface.

Every family has its stories, and every family has its drama — and some families, like the one the actor and director Griffin Dunne was born into, have an excess of both. His uncle was the writer John Gregory Dunne, his aunt was Joan Didion and his father was Dominick Dunne, who became famous for his Vanity Fair dispatches from the trial of the man who killed his daughter (and Griffin's sister) Dominique.On this week's episode of the Book Review podcast, Dunne talks about his book, “The Friday Afternoon Club: A Family Memoir.” Of waiting to write it until his father, uncle and aunt had died, Dunne said he needed the distance: “I had the perspective on just how remarkable those three were as writers, what an influence they had on my life.” 

What a CreepSeason 25, Episode 7The Murder of Dominique Dunne by John Thomas SweeneyDominique Dunne, known for her role in the 1982 film "Poltergeist," had a bright future. Tragically, her life was cut short on October 30, 1982, when her ex-boyfriend strangled her, John Thomas Sweeney, outside her West Hollywood home. She never regained consciousness and died on November 4, 1982, at just 22 years old.The trial that followed sparked outrage. Sweeney was convicted of voluntary manslaughter, not murder, and served only three years of a six-and-a-half-year sentence. This lenient sentence highlighted severe flaws in the justice system's handling of domestic violence cases. Dominique's death brought attention to domestic abuse, prompting her family, especially her father, Dominick Dunne, to advocate for victims' rights and legal reforms. Her legacy endures through these efforts and her memorable work in film.Trigger warning: Domestic/Partner Violence Sources: Vanity FairVanity Fair May 2008Vanity Fair March 1984Los Angeles Times December 3, 1986E True Hollywood StoryAll That is InterestingCity JournalVarietyVultureThe Friday Afternoon Cub: A Family Memoir by Griffin DunneThe Murder of Dominique Dunne by Erica Thomas and Troy McElfreshDominique Dunne WikipediaPeople Magazine October 10, 1983SlateBe sure to follow us on social media.
