Murder, Money & Forbidden Love: The Candy Mossler & Mel Powers Case
from Hitched 2 Homicide · host Kris Calvert and Rob Pottorf
In 1964, Miami's elite were shaken to their core when millionaire Jacques Mossler was found stabbed and bludgeoned 39 times in his luxury Key Biscayne condo. The prime suspects? His own wife — glamorous Texas socialite Candy Mossler — and her much younger nephew-by-marriage, Mel Powers, with whom she was rumored to be having a forbidden affair. Was it greed? Lust? A deadly conspiracy between two people who should never have been together in the first place? In this episode of Hitched 2 Homicide, we pull back the curtain on one of the most scandalous murder trials of the 20th century — complete with jaw-dropping courtroom theatrics, explosive evidence, and a verdict that left an entire nation speechless. Wealth. Betrayal. Forbidden desire. Murder. This one has it all. *This episode contains depictions of incest. Listener discretion is advised.
