About this episode
1988 - Lawrence, Massachusetts.
In April 2022, 74-year-old Marvin "Skip" McClendon Jr., a former Massachusetts corrections officer, was arrested for the 1988 cold case murder of 11-year-old Melissa Tremblay. Melissa was found brutally murdered on the railroad tracks in Lawrence, MA.
In December 2023, the trial began. Prosecutors disclosed that DNA evidence had led to Marvin's arrest, but what seemed like an open-and-shut case quickly unraveled into something far more complex.
A lot has happened since the original Murder, She Told episode, but to get to the end, we have to start back at the beginning: This is part 2 of a full story update on Melissa Tremblay featuring new interviews, exclusive court documents, and records.
