Dorthy Elaine Moxley (née Jolgren; June 5, 1932 – December 24, 2024) was an American educator and crime victim advocate.

The household initially lacked modern amenities, but her father later installed running water and additional rooms in their home.

Over several decades, she engaged with law enforcement, journalists, and legal professionals to advance investigations and maintain public attention on the unresolved crime.

[1][2] She regularly attended court proceedings and provided public statements, including interviews and participation in documentaries, to support efforts to prosecute those involved.

[4] Moxley's advocacy coincided with renewed legal action in the late 1990s, culminating in the 2002 conviction of Michael Skakel, which was later vacated following a series of appeals.
