Macabre at Midnight

The Menendez Brothers

On this episode of Macabre at Midnight, we delve into one of the most notorious family murders in American history—the case of Lyle and Erik Menendez. In 1989, the affluent façade of the Menendez family shattered when the two brothers brutally murdered their parents, José and Kitty Menendez, in their Beverly Hills home. The crime was shocking, but what followed was even more disturbing: a courtroom drama filled with explosive allegations of long-term abuse, manipulation, and betrayal. Was it cold-blooded murder driven by greed—or a desperate act of survival? We unravel the twisted timeline, examine chilling courtroom testimony, and revisit the cultural impact of a case that still divides public opinion decades later.
Grab a drink, dim the lights, and join us as we pull back the curtain on the dark truth behind the Menendez brothers.
