Erik explains that his brother simply said something along the lines of ‘I need it. Two days later (on August 15th), Erik says that he was walking inside the front of the house when he witnessed his brother, Lyle, and mother coming into the foyer- already embroiled in some sort of heated discussion. In that moment, he thought about suicide. He said that he didn’t have the strength to fight his father- and felt dead inside. In that moment, Erik says that he was numb and defeated. Erik’s father said good, and told him to be home when he came back from his trip. A few minutes later, Erik’s father enters the room and immediately pins him up against a large window- with his arm against his neck and asks his son if they have a problem. His mother took the packed bag from Erik and began to throw the clothes all over the room, telling her son that he wasn’t allowed to leave. Erik explained that he was going to go to a friend’s house to cool off for a couple of days. His mother followed him up the stairs and asked where he was going. Erik ran upstairs, and began packing a bag. He was questioning his father- what had changed? Erik felt like all of his dreams of being able to escape home and get out from underneath his father’s thumb was falling apart. Erik was shocked, because he already had his freshmen year under his belt- and had already lived on campus for a year. Erik’s father informed him that he was to live at home two days a week instead of living full-time on campus. Erik claims that he was in the den with his father and the two of them were discussing the subject of school.
Let’s just be honest with ourselves- murders, let alone double murders, don’t happen in Beverly Hills- especially back in 1989.Įrik Menendez would tell you that this case didn’t actually start on August 20th, 1989, but actually seven days prior. Old headlines back in 1989 would read, “Rare violence shatters quiet street in Beverly Hills” and, “Movie industry figure, wife slain in Beverly Hills home”. The characters of this case: Erik Menendez, Lyle Menendez, and their parents. The scene for this one: Beverly Hills, California. Did I say money already- cause there was a lot of it. This is the case of Lyle & Erik Menendez. It’s also a case that I’m sure you’re probably already familiar with. What is the truth? Do you find yourself believing in the press and most news stations more, and do you believe someone- or some people that were closer to the story less? Or is it the other way around? That is the question you’re gonna have to keep asking yourself as you read about this case.
