Summary
This week, we jump tracks ever so slightly to focus on another infamous crime in Beverly Hills. The Menendez boys are learning by watching the early 1980’s poster boy of crime, Joe Hunt, and his BBC. The Billionaire Boys Club, a nickname that became its moniker, might have started out with all the best intentions, but soon turns into a crime spree that will set the tone for so much to come.

| 0:13.7 | I'm Alicia, your hostess on this podcast journey, All Things Dominic Dunn. |
| 0:18.9 | Where truly nothing exists in a vacuum and around here everything is |
| 0:24.9 | connected. Thank you for joining me for today's investigation in episode 190, where we're going to |
| 0:32.8 | pause the Menendez case just for a moment as Dominic Dunn was experiencing it in 1993 to roll back a |
| 0:42.7 | decade or so. If the murders of Jose and Kitty Menendez were the closing act in Beverly Hills |
| 0:52.2 | murders by youths, the opening act was with the crimes of Joe Hunt and his buddies in the billionaire boys club. |
| 1:02.2 | Remember in the last episode, the Menendez prosecution alluded to the billionaire's boys club, the BBC, and Leslie Abramson hit the route. |
| 1:12.6 | Why? Well, it turns out our Joe Hunt was the poster on the wall for Lyle and Eric Menendez. |
| 1:20.4 | His was the big crime in the early 1980s in Beverly Hills, through the courts just in time |

| 1:29.9 | his dirty deeds in 1997, starring Judd Nelson as Joe Hunt, among some other notable names. |
| 1:38.1 | It was this miniseries that re-aired on NBC three weeks before the murders of Jose and Kitty, |
| 1:45.5 | and I think the parallels between these two cases just might spook you a little. |
| 1:51.3 | Our man Nick did cover the case of the Billionaire's Boys Club and Joe Hunt |
| 1:56.5 | in his power privilege and justice television series all the way back in 2002 in its first season, |
| 2:04.6 | episode two. Today, we're going to cover this case through Dominic Dunn's coverage and, of course, |
| 2:10.8 | some other interesting spider webs that have been revealed in my research. |
| 2:16.5 | Before we begin our episode today, I do have a few shoutouts to some incredible folks. |
| 2:22.5 | First up, thanks to all who have let me know about the current and continuing developments in the Menendez case. |
