Summary

In August of 1989, two brothers entered their parents’ Beverly Hills mansion, and shot them multiple times, killing them almost instantly. When police arrived, the men maintained that the murders had taken place while they were at the movies, which police initially believed. But after a painstaking, months-long investigation, and a guilt-ridden confession to a therapist, the men were arrested for the murders. There seemed to be no question whether or not they had committed the crime, but the real question was why. Did the horrific abuse they alleged to suffer at the hands of their mother and father justify their parents’ brutal end, or were the brothers just out for their family’s fortune? These are the murders of Kitty and Jose Menendez, and the stories of Lyle and Erik Menendez. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
