    Apr 7 2025
    The Marshall family seemed to have it all—wealth, status, and a picture-perfect life in Toms River, New Jersey. But on Thursday, September 7, 1984, tragedy struck when Maria Marshall, a beloved 42-year-old mother of three, was murdered in a parking area off the Garden State Parkway.What first appeared to be a random robbery quickly unraveled into something far more sinister. As investigators dug deeper, they uncovered a troubled marriage, financial troubles, a torrid love affair, and a murder plot that crossed state lines. The case became one of the most notorious crimes in New Jersey, later documented in Joe McGinniss’s best-selling book and movie Blind Faith.Today's snack: Butterscotch barsSupport us on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lovemarrykillSources:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9OzZyF2PUrk&t=597s “Blind Faith” 1990 movieMcGinniss, Joe (2012).
