About this episode

In August 1989, José, 45, and Kitty Menendez, 47, were shot to death in their Beverly Hills home. Their sons, Lyle, 18, and Erik, 21, would later confess to the killings—setting off one of the most polarizing murder trials in American history. What initially looked like a mob-style hit unraveled into a story of family control, extreme dysfunction, and disturbing allegations of long-term sexual abuse. The trials exposed the private life of a wealthy, image-driven family and forced the public to confront uncomfortable questions about trauma, masculinity, and male child sexual abuse.<br /><br />Today's snack: Buc-ee's <a href="https://texassnax.com/products/beaver-nuggets-original" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Beaver Nuggets</a> and Buc-ee's <a href="https://texassnax.com/products/nugees-bold-n-sorta-spicy" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Nug-ees Bold N' Sorta Spicy</a> (thanks Alicia!)<br /><br />Listen to all three parts today on Patreon: <a href="https://patreon.com/lovemarrykill" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://patreon.com/LoveMarryKill</a>
