"
In the spring of 1998, Furman's book, Murder in Greenwich, Who Killed Martha Moxley, was published.
But the real bombshell was that Furman took the rare step of naming the person he believed was responsible for Martha's murder.
Murder in Greenwich was an immediate bestseller, and it also attracted scathing criticism.
The book had anything to do with the filing? No, the books added interest to the public and the media, but they had no impact on the investigation.
When asked about the matter, Detective Frank Garr dismissed the suggestion that the book had anything to do with the filing.
