Netflix¡¯s A Deadly American Marriage has sparked widespread interest, delving into the harrowing true story of Jason Corbett¡¯s untimely death and the courtroom drama that ensued. The compelling docuseries examines the twists and turns of the case while also drawing attention to the uncertain fate of Jason¡¯s two children, who found themselves at the heart of a painful family conflict. As the episodes unfold, one pressing question remains for viewers: what happened to Jason Corbett¡¯s kids?
Jason Corbett, an Irish widower and father of two, appeared to have found a second chance at happiness in 2008 when he fell in love with his American au pair, Molly Martens. What began as a seemingly perfect love story led the couple and Jason¡¯s children, Jack and Sarah to relocate from Ireland to North Carolina in hopes of starting fresh. However, their new beginning ended in tragedy on August 2, 2015, when Jason was killed during a violent incident in their home.
Jason and Molly had been raising his two children, Jack and Sarah Corbett Lynch his son and daughter from his first marriage to Margaret Fitzpatrick, who had passed away unexpectedly from an asthma attack in the early 2000s.
In 2015, Jason Corbett was brutally killed at his home in North Carolina, having been struck with both a baseball bat and a paving brick.
?His wife, Molly Martens, and her father, Tom Martens, were charged with second-degree murder, though both pleaded not guilty. The charges were later reduced to voluntary manslaughter.
After Jason¡¯s death both kids claimed to have seen their father abusing Molly. However, according to a 2020 ruling by the North Carolina Court of Appeals and as revealed in the documentary, the children later withdrew these statements, revealing they had been coached by Molly Martens. In the docuseries, the two also say that they were kids and they lied after being told to do so.
Since the death of their father Jason in 2015, Sarah and Jack have been living in Limerick, Ireland, with their aunt and uncle, Tracey and David Lynch. Among the siblings, Sarah is the more vocal, often sharing posts on Instagram to remember both of her parents
Jack, on the other hand, is far more reserved than his younger sister. According to Sarah, he is a singer-songwriter currently pursuing a degree in music at college. He chooses to keep details about their parents¡¯ deaths private, and his Instagram account is also set to private.
