A Deadly Marriage: How Molly Martensâ obsession with her stepchildren cost her husband, Jason, his life and legacy
A Deadly Marriage: How Molly Martensâ obsession with her stepchildren cost her husband, Jason, his life and legacy
THE NO. 1 BESTSELLER
âExtraordinary and compellingâ Pat Kenny, Newstalk
âThere is quite a twist in thisâ Martin King, Ireland AM
A story of betrayal and deceit that gripped the nation
When Limerick widower Jason Corbett hired a wholesome young American, Molly Martens, to care for his eighteen-month-old daughter and three and-a-half-year-old son, he could not have known that she was a troubled woman whose obsession with his children would end in his death.
Three years after meeting, Jason and Molly married and settled in North Carolina. Four years later, Jason was beaten to death in their marital bedroom. Molly and her father, Tom, a former FBI agent, admitted to killing Jason but claimed self-defence.
A Deadly Marriage reveals new information about this shocking case including the strange text Molly sent to Jasonâs brother less than two hours after his death, how Jason told a friend he was planning to return to Ireland for good just two weeks before he died and Tom Martensâ pattern of cleaning up Mollyâs mess. This is the story of how a wealthy and well-connected American family framed the victim as the aggressor in a horrific killing, blackened his name and served minimal jail time.
Journalist Brian Carroll reported on the Martensâ court hearings for the Irish Times and is a co-producer of the Netflix documentary A Deadly American Marriage. He has thoroughly investigated the case, including conducting fresh reporting in North Carolina, to write the definitive account of a shattering story.
