46. Salem History: The Murder of Martha Brailsford Part 2

In this episode we return to 1991 Salem. Tom Maimoni had confessed...but not to murder. His story of the "rogue wave" couldn't be proven otherwise - that is until Martha Brailsford's body was found. As we shall see, this was no accident. Well cover the day of her discovery, Tom's escape to Maine, the subsequent Jury Trial, and even how the Official Witch of Salem lends a hand to investigators.
