"Where Are Lyle and Erik Menendez Now? New Evidence May Lead to Their Release from Prison"

Lyle and Erik Menendez were convicted of murdering their parents in Beverly Hills in 1989. The second installment of Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan's Netflix anthology series, Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story, revisits the infamous true crime story. Read on to learn where the Menendez brothers are now and the new evidence that could set them free.

On Aug. 20, 1989, Jose and Kitty Menendez were found shot multiple times at close range in the family room of their Beverly Hills mansion. Police initially suspected that the mob was involved due to the gruesome nature of the murders. Lyle and Erik, who were 21 and 18 at the time, told investigators they found their parents shot to death when they arrived home.

After their parents' deaths, the Menendez brothers appeared to be spending their inheritance extravagantly on Rolex watches, real estate, and business ventures. A major breakthrough in the case happened when Judalon Smyth, the mistress of Erik's psychologist, Jerome Oziel, tipped off authorities. She revealed that Erik had confessed to the murders during therapy sessions, and there were audiotapes of the confessions.
