Netflix’s ‘A Deadly American Marriage’ is a true-crime documentary that chronicles the brutal killing of Jason Paul Corbett in 2015 at the hands of his wife, Molly Corbett, and her father, Thomas “Tom” Martens. Jason’s two children from his previous marriage with Margaret “Mags” Corbett — Sarah and Jack Corbett — suffered the brunt of the tragedy. Although initially they sided with Molly and confirmed her claims of self-defense, the two eventually testified against her and Tom at their trial.
During the sentencing hearing, Sarah and Jack gave separate victim impact statements. They claimed that they were brainwashed and told to lie to the authorities in the wake of the murder all those years ago. The brother and sister made an appearance in the Netflix documentary and gave a detailed account of the crime, their experiences after losing their beloved father, and how they managed to cope with the tragic incident.
Jack Corbett Aspires to Become a Successful Musician
Following the demise of Jason Paul Corbett, Jack and Sarah Corbett have been living with their legal guardians, Tracey and David Lynch, and their sons, Dean and Adam, in Limerick, Ireland. He was put into therapy by his guardians in order to process the loss and move on with his life, while keeping the memories of his father well and truly alive every step of the way. After graduating from Mungret Community College, he has been attending the University of Limerick, where he is studying music. Working towards making his late father proud, he has been trying his luck in the music industry as an aspiring singer/songwriter. According to Sarah, he has a beautiful voice and writes amazing lyrics.
In December 2021, Jack organized a fundraiser for LauraLynn by taking a dip in Kilkee Pier along with Sarah and other members of the Lynch-Corbett family. He managed to raise over €1k for the charity. Over the last few years, he has grown a lot closer to his sister, with whom he didn’t really have a close relationship growing up. Apart from spending quality time with his guardians and sister, he loves hanging out with his friends. Although not much is known about his personal or professional life, Jack doesn’t shy away from reminding the public of his stance in the murder case of Jason Corbett. Residing in Limerick, Ireland, he seemingly leads a bachelor’s life while supporting and encouraging his younger sister’s success.
Sarah Corbett is a Woman of Many Hats
Just like his brother, Sarah also underwent therapy after the unfortunate demise of Jason Corbett in 2015. She regularly went to her therapist once a week for nearly three years and managed to cope with the loss. She also studied at Mungret Community College, where she volunteered and got the opportunity to showcase her acting and singing talents. A member of the Team Limerick Clean-Up, she raised funds for the Mid-West Cancer Foundation and the Asthma Society. She was also an integral part of the Unity Gospel Choir Limerick. Given her significant contributions, Sarah was also awarded a Garda Youth Award. In July 2020, 14-year-old Sarah published her children’s book titled ‘Noodle Loses Dad,’ which she dedicated to the children who had to deal with grief and loss at an early age in life.
After receiving global appreciation for her book, she made an appearance on ‘The Late Late Show’ and was even named Limerick Person of the Month in February 2020. At the age of 15, she qualified as a lifeguard after training over the summer of 2021. In light of her achievements, the talented teenager bagged admission into Mary Immaculate College in Limerick. However, Sarah reportedly took a break from studies and has been focusing on her passion — diving. In the summer of 2024, she completed a commercial diving course and aspires to become an instructor. On March 6, 2025, Sarah Lynch officially launched her memoir titled ‘A Time for Truth: My Father Jason and My Search for Justice and Healing.’
The special launch event of the book was held at O’Mahony’s Bookstore, where she revealed, “My book is about my life and my journey through the court system in America trying to find justice for my dad, and healing, and it’s about my life before and after the night of August 2nd.” Elaborating on it, she said, “I’m delighted to be able to finally have launched my book because it’s given me a voice, and I think it’s really important for people to know that I’ve gotten through my trauma and I’ve gotten through my experiences, but there are other people out there who are still experiencing it, and that’s really important.” The book received immense success in the first few weeks as it remained the best seller for three weeks in a row. Before her memoir was officially launched, Sarah got the opportunity to promote her art and talk about it on various shows, including ‘The Late Late Show,’ ‘The Pat Kenny Show,’ and ‘The Last Word With Matt Cooper.’
Sarah Corbett is Grateful to Have Found a New Mom in Her Aunt
On the personal front, Sarah Corbett-Lynch continues to miss and remember her birth parents, Jason and Margaret Corbett. In May 2025, she celebrated what would have been her mother’s 50th birthday. “It’s a genuine get-together; she is so loved and missed by her mother, her sisters, sisters-in-law, and all the friends who remain by our families side through all the hard times. I know you’re with us in spirit, Mam, with Dad holding your hand. I can feel that today you would be doing something meaningful right here with me, Jack, and everyone who is still here supporting us. Love always your daughter Sarah,” she said.
In their absence, Sarah has seemingly found another mother in Tracey Lynch, who is not only her biggest supporter but also her closest friend. She is vocal about how grateful she is for her constant guidance and support, without which she could not have achieved so much in life already. On Mother’s Day 2025, Sarah expressed her gratitude on social media, writing, “I have won the lottery when it comes to the mom that I get to have, you are an inspiration to so many but especially me. Your strength and courage has shown me that I can be whoever I want to be. I am so lucky to call you my mom.” Besides Tracey, Sarah also maintains a great relationship with Jason and Tracey’s sons — Dean and Adam — whom she considers her brothers.
