The Chain: The Murder of Kimberly Holton

Chrissy Champagne Episode 88

In October 2003, a decomposed body surfaced off the coast of Cape May, New Jersey. Chained at the ankles, bound in duct tape, and gnawed by sea life — this was no accident. Within hours, the body was identified as 16-year-old Kimberly Holton, a missing foster child from Dover, Delaware.

Kimberly’s case would unravel a chilling chain of events involving foster care failures, jealousy, betrayal, and a horrifying method of body disposal few could imagine. Investigators would trace a single link of chain to a hardware store… uncover a disturbing love triangle… and find themselves staring at a grainy surveillance video that would blow the case open.

This is the haunting true story of Kimberly Holton — the girl they tried to silence, and the case that refused to sink.
