Does a witness located months after Matthews murder, and placed in an hypnotic trance, potentially provide the most compelling account of Matthew’s last minutes, and who he was with?

The short, stocky neighborhood bully changes a key fact from his original statement, and another neighborhood teen, who possessed Matthew’s missing fishing pole and knife, sees his mother turn on him.

As Matthew’s murder investigation got broader, it kept turning up shady characters, and the Valley went from being this outwardly idyllic place, to a dark place once investigators scratched the surface, with all this terrible stuff going on underneath.

Matthew’s body had been found in a makeshift shallow grave with 13 stab wounds, his clothing used as ligatures and gags to suffocate him, his white shorts nearby with red stains on them, and a 10 ½ inch knife under his body.

Matthew was born, raised and went missing in that sliver of Greenwich along the Byram River, simply known as “The Valley” – it was known as a very tight knit neighborhood, with local loyalties fostered over generations.

It was just as senseless, and brutal, as the Martha Moxley murder, but garnered none of the media attention.  A latchkey kid from a working-class neighborhood of Greenwich goes missing, then is found mutilated and murdered 5 days later.
