Sneak peek: In Jason's Name | Forensic Files

[Music] Jason he was an amazing human being when he was young he was fun and vivacious a little bit giddy so you're
the big sister I'm the big sister yeah about three and a half years that's just enough to be able to tell them what to
do absolutely yeah yeah I don't think he always appreciated it Jason was a 31 one-year-old
widower with two tiny children he decided that he needed support and decided to engage the
services of an oir that was Molly Martin I always knew her is kind-hearted she loves other people more than she
loves herself I would describe her even growing up is remarkably altruistic she was good with the kids
Jason started to smile a bit more there was definitely something between them the two of them looked very happy Jason
was always the romantic type he shouldn't have been alone for the rest of his life he proposed to her on Valentine's
Day the wedding was was beautiful she seemed happy was a lot of things changed when
they moved to America Jason started to talk about moving home he wasn't happy he said she was acting strange he
would open up and say they were having difficulties and then he would change the subject when they moved to the US I
definitely start to notice more uh verbal altercations and verbal abuse Jason was yelling at
Molly County 911 my name is Tom Martins my son-in-law got in a fight with my daughter I intervened and he's invad
shape we need help what do you mean he's in bad shape he's hurt he's bleeding all
over and I I may have killed him he's got on by the throat like this I was screaming help and he was
screaming I'm going to kill you and I said Let Her Go Let Her Go I'm going to kill her let her go I'm going to kill
her he walks in that scene a nightmare without Tom Martin's heroic efforts that night Molly would be dead they claims
that it was self-defense so you're telling me you think that whole thing was staged yes 100% And the entire story
that the two of them tell about Jason choking Molly in your mind that is entirely a lie
yes the Marans didn't just murder Jason but he was very controll abusive they tried to destroy his
character that guy was crazy I would have done anything I needed needed to do to get Justice for Jason
