The Menendez Brothers - Where are they Now?
23 years ago the Menendez Brothers, known as Lyle (then 21) and Erik (then 18), brutally murdered their parents in a deadly gun slaying from their family den. The atrocious murders and then the subsequent trials led to a huge public and media frenzy as the world watched the fate’s of the Menendez Brothers play out on Court TV, the first publicly broadcasted trial in history. The first trail for the brothers led to a deadlock by the jury with the members of the jury unable to decide whether the murders of the Menendez’s parent’s was outright murder or manslaughter after startling revelations from the defense that the Menendez Brothers were physically and sexually abused throughout their childhood. However, in the second trial for the Menendez Brothers the jury was able to come to a unanimous decision of two-counts of murder in the first-degree for each brother as well as conspiracy to commit murder. The Menendez Brothers were each sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.

In July of 1996 Lyle married his longtime pen pal Anna Eriksson, a former model, and the married lasted for only a year when Eriksson learned that Lyle Menendez was “cheating” on her by writing another woman. Nine years later in 2003 Lyle married his current wife Rebecca Sneed, a magazine editor who he had reportedly known for ten years prior to their wedding.
For Erik married Tammi Ruth Saccoman in a simple wedding ceremony within the prison waiting room. Saccoman in the years since has publicly talked about her relationship and marriage to Erik Menendez in the 2005 book They Said We’d Never Make It - My Life with Erik Menendez and in the 2010 A&E documentary “Mrs. Menendez.” Erik has been a fairly model prisoner, leading prayer groups, working with prison officials to create programs for rewarding good behavior of prisoners and so forth. He told People Magazine in 2005 “I would give my life to change it,” he says. “I talk to my mom. She knows my heart. I ask for forgiveness.”
The Menendez Brothers have certainly garnered attention throughout their trials and subsequent lives in prison with the sensationalist murders of their parents in 1989. For the brothers, life since then has been fairly quiet all things considered and looks to be just the same for the rest of their lives as they continue on with their prison sentence of life without parole.

the menendez brothers story is one of great tragedy and a big lie ,i mean i seriously wonder what the hell were they thinking and if they remotely thought they would have gotten away with killing thier parents did they think life for them would have been normal carrying on with the bloodbath they left behind,the poor mother ,in my heart that woman was a great ,loving,kind, soft spoken lady who deeply cared for them ,and the dad ,i wish my dad would have been like jose ,i wouldve kissed the ground he walked on ,omg they were in the best neighborhood in the planet i mean beverly hills ,not many of us can say the towns name without thinking wow you got it all and moved on up to the top ,i mean i cried for what they did to those poor people omg what they did is beyond evil, greed and freedom is what they craved ,for 6 months they were going nuts spending the parents money ,the older brother lyle seemed more cold bold and arrogant spending without a care in the world ,the lack of respect he had for his mother ,he didnt give a dam about her at all ,spoiled you know what he is ,he lived in the guest house like a spoiled brat as if he were a king , he tore up princetons golf course , tore up tables burglurized stole his friends i.d to obtain rifles ,they are both heard on tape ,these punks didnt want to listen ,they wanted that money ,they wanted not to go to university ,or play tennis oh it was to much that the dad was asking , the dad didnt abuse them whatsoever in a sexual tone in nature ,them two made that story up ,they continue to lie they werent molested ,they were already in trouble in the past the tension was from them bringing it on to jose and kitty ,they were great parents ,the dad well his standards were high it wasnt to much he was asking of them ,no matter what jose had in mind for these two nuts it was only for them to become successful in life and work hard and push themselves to make a difference in the world ,now i can only imagine their lives in a cold cage in a prison ,from beverly hills to behind gates of hell on a foam bed ,prison garments for clothes and not being able to play tennis a privelaged and great sport,and the women that married them omg ,i cant or couldnt imagine robbing myself of the human touch of a husband ,these woman are media and attention mongers i mean my god ,i think it is erik menedezs wife who picked up and move to california with her daughter and she vists him with the daughter omg what a nut i would never expose my kid to that ,what a waste of time ,i mean i can see being friends but its like seriously ,your robbing yourself of a real life with a man in life to be able to hold hands with ,i think police should keep close eye on them for sure not normal at all ,they are probably just as disturbed as they are ,crime and greed doesnt pay ,honor mom and dad says the good book for your days will be long on earth ,the menendez brothers robbed there beautiful parents of their lives together ,robbed them of thier golden years robbed them of perhaps having grandchildren ,robbed them of thier homes ,money ,was it all worth the evil ,was it worth that the only motive was to live large and fast ,to get rid of mom and dad early to get hands on money quicker ,i say hell no ,look how time has past 1989 and here we are 2013 ,lyle is now 45 the same age his father was when he took his life and erik now 42 ,omg how crazy is that ,i dont know people better see how you treat your kids for sure ,i dont think these men ever got a good old beat on their asses to learn there are consequences ,i believe these two idiots didnt realize how big story was going to get and all media attention ,they should have applied for a credit card and they should have gotten a job ,and do there own thing instead of choosing the path they chose to rob there parents and strip them of there dignity ,and above all else there very lives ,poor parents ,and they have plenty of time to ponder ,wonder ,they are where they belong and they robbed there parents of there freedom ,trapping them into there deaths in a room while they ate there last desert ,and for what i ask ,crime doesnt pay ,and the worst of all disrespect is the very people who bring you into this world
until you are in an abusive situation with a family membber or and spouse, you are inadequate to pass any judgement.If it were that easy to leave an abuser, whether a parent or spouse, there would be a lot less of these tragedies. What you are failing to understand, is these abusers have so much power of the victim, they feel real fear. It would be nice if everybody had the strength you seem to, however, I am betting you have never had someone in your life that verbally and physically abused you. And if so, then good for you for just leaving, it would be nice if you would start a campaign to teach victims to do what you are able to do. Abusers like Jose was are extremely intelligence and know how to manipulate, and convince the victim they are unworthy. They are masters, and it is the most horrible thing to have to go through. Notice when they shot their parents, the number of times they pulled the trigger. That is typical when an abused victim is made to feel helpless, and then all of a sudden they feel for the first time they have power. It’s emotions of anger, fear, and hatred surfacing, and it is genuine passion. Sure, I bet they could have left, but would that have been a death sentence for them, or an adult life of being manipulated..Crime is not the answer, I agree.You could do a little research on the subject and find out more specifics. If you have not lived a life like that, then you know nothing about the power abuse has on victims, It is Hell, and the words and things done will haunt for the rest of your life.
them menendez men brothers they were never ever ever never abused ,they did that to get rid of dads hold on them ,the biggest mistake was that jose the man of the house should have kicked both the fuck out of the beverly hills mansion ,those two were hangers on ,in the parents buisness , what i mean by that is they wanted to know all there personal shit ,from the money money and money ,they make me fucking sick ,if they were my children you better believe the minute i saw that they werent going to be nothing but failures i would have washed my hands of them both ,lock em out of the dam house for good throw there clothes in the gutter and made them fend for themselves they were garbage ,they wanted the money fast and they wanted it right away god the parents would be well into there 70s now huh wow unbelievable ,they made the parents lives miserable i dont give a shit what jose was chaeting ,kitty forgave him and it wasnt there buisness to involve themselves into there personal life ,they were greedy sociopathes with no regard of feeling for anyone else at the time ,cold heartless bastards ,poor parents they lost everything ,take a look at the crime scene what they did ,the poor mother,i cried for her my god the dad wow , them two found love in prison ,the women best beware cause they might plan your demise ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,hmmmmmmmmmmmmm monsters

this was a sensational case ,filled with lies,from both the men menendez ,from the begining to end ,and they chose the wackiest of people to represent them ,seriously that leslie abramson didnt care about them 2 ,she was in it for the fame and the dead parents money what she get 750,000.00 dollars ,at the second trial she couldnt make the closing statements because she had a dr william vicary remove certain passages from the words of erik m. ,shes a liar and the state bar should have kicked her ass out and pressed an investigation against her ass,and the dr. vicary what a tool ,a quack that guy turned out to be ,then the other so called proffesionals jeez what kind of people with any kind of honesty in them exists today ,dr oziel well i felt kinda bad for him ,however he told the truth and he had every right to be scared shit about these two monsters ,i mean at least erik had a soul and remorse i will give him that but the older lyle that son of bitch had dark demon hollow eyes ,i think he wouldve did away with erik to ,simply because i think he was the one trying to get his younger brothers money and he was the one going nuts spending dead parents money,i feel the younger erik should have gotten a lesser sentence because he is the one who confessed he is the one who seemed more to be upset and full of regret ,i dont know its complicated at best this awful thing they did ,but the older brother was evil hes the one that waited with the rifles and pushed erik into it, anyway make long story short i had to put my 2 cents in ,i watched this case and was intrigued by the crazy lies and the way the system works ,i feel bad for the familys who suffered and had to be subjected to the media lite ,and i believe that these parents jose kitty menendez may they rest in peace ,they did everything to make them happy ,they loved them both ,they got away with to much the dad should have let them go to prison for the burglurys they committed ,to learn from it ,and maybe just maybe hed be here ,and no matter what sometimes i wonder if it wasnt the parents they could have gone on and maybe killed one of there wives ,or kids even they seemed to be sociopathes ,i mean girlfriends should count there blessings to ,oziel may have been next on lyles list , i heard that when erik was in israel lyle was planning to gun down oziel ,and when erik got back he was going to gun down erik as well ,he was planning it while his brother was away so erik is lucky to ,i think thats why erik confessed as well as he felt bad and he probly felt his brother was going to go at life alone spending his part of blood money ,if it wasnt for erik caving in we wouldve never heard about any of them ,what a case that was with there legal team that were tools ,i had all respect for prosecution team in both trials for sure ,it was them who out of greed wanted the easy road without pops hammering down the law on them ,mom was a good lady who was scared of them locked the doors when she went to sleep she was afraid of them 2 ,i heard the brothers would watch the parents sleep at nite in there bedroom watching thru a half opened door ,i also heard that they undid the alarm to make sure it wouldnt alarm police on that fateful day ,no winners in this ,the poor dsad didnt get to enjoy his hard earnings with kitty in the years since what a crime ,from mansion to prison not a good thing
menendez brothers are crazy ,they have to have had a mental issue for sure ,i feel more sympathy for erik, i hope he can be released ,i think he did his time ,his brther lyle forced him into it the plan was set and lyle is the one who greeted him with the rifles and when they went into the den he yelled for erik to shoot the mother and didnt lyle shot her and the dad first so that should have been fought in court serious flaws on abramsons legal knowledge,i hope he does i felt more sorry for him thats got to count how he cnfessed to what happened ,i mean i hope some legal expert can see what went wrong in the case at least for erik ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,rip kitty and joe ,,
i think that the menendez brothers the family ,especially the dad were cursed by one of his family members ,he was cuban ,and cubans do have wierd rituals ,there were jealous family members who envied them ,the dad and moms wealth ,them 2 ,the sons they look almost posessed if you look at lyle real close its as if you cant see his eyes its almost scary ,and erik just has this smirk ,its really strange ,its pretty sad how it all came to a stand still when they made that decision to end the parents very lives ,its creepy to let me think that they may have had evil put on them you know ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
these men wasted the parents for greed indeed , the mother was begging for her life screaming crying imagine that in your mind picture it ,they wasted the dad and he died quickly they blew his brain out of his skull ,they shot the mothers nose off and blew one of her blue eyes out of its socket ,they saw she was moving around ,moaning what did lyle menendez do instead of saving the woman who gave birth to him he placed rifle on her cheek and litterally blew almost her face off ,called 911 crying like a fuckigng actor in a movie 911 call was so fake ,and when i hear that 911 call when dispatcher asked what happened lyle said they killed my parents and then dispatcher asks him were they shot he replied yes,they were shot yes lyle replied ,how did he know his parents were shot ,that was a dead give away police should have questioned them about how they knew they had been shot they couldve been killed some other way ,they belong where they are ,but i have to say i give sympathy to the younger brother erik , i believe somehow he was pushed and brainwashed by his brother to go along with the brutality and carnage i believe the older lyle was the one who shot both first ,i believe the younger of erik should be released with time served he had remorse and guilt and he was hurt deeply by what happened ,the older one should remain in prison simply because he should have stopped the madness right there and asked himself how crazy the decision was ,and the older brother seems heartless and cold and cocky and insincere i think erik menendez should be released, i absolutely dont condone his actions whatsoever ,i believe if he is released he will be a productive citizen along with his wife ,imsure of that ,he seems to have grown and he can help abused children although i still in my belief he wasnt molested by his father ,thats it ,i hope that he does and his brother remains he took fall for his older brother as well i believe his brother lyle fired all the shots that killed the parents
Burn in hell boys
I’m the same age as Lyle and I always found the Menendez case fascinating. Like Jose I am a CPA. I’m sure he was a smart and competent guy but I can assure you that no accountant rises so fast in the corporate world without being ruthless. I have no doubt the man clawed and scratched himself to a million dollar salary. I would bet that the traits that made him such a success in the business world probably made him a lousy father.
He might have been a psychologically abusive parent but I believe the brothers’ claims of sexual abuse was complete nonsense. Even if their claims of sexual abuse was true they could have simply left home. Both Lyle and Erik impress me as two guys who were rich and arrogant losers and were not very bright. Both had criminal records even before the murders they committed - but Jose pulled strings for them. Ironically, had their rich dad not hired an expensive lawyer to keep them out of jail they would not have had the opportunity to kill him.
I’m sure they knew they would never be the success their dad was. The only way they could ever be successful was to kill their parents and live off their wealth. I have no pity for these two dopes now spending their lives in jail.
This is what I always find hard to understand; if someone’s abusing you, then strive to get free from them and break the ties with the one abusing you and leave them!
The double whammy comes into play when the one abused becomes the abuser.. turning round and killing. Its usually bcs they suffered so long and so much that their resentment towards the abuser escalated so high through hatred that they began wanting to murder. It is so important - CRUCIAL - to have the wisdom that forgiveness is a tool which always helps the one that is abused. To try and strive to forgive and see the solution of breaking ties and leaving as the only way. not murdering.
Thank you Oprah thank you all pastors and churches for teaching forgiveness. Without this tool people that go through long term abuse situations get warped in their minds or hearts and enter a dead end street so to speak in their structure and see it blindly as the only way out. Are we becoming a society that forgot about forgiving and which breathes revenges in its most animalistic forms?
Sry you both had to go thru so much abuse. You both deserve to be free.
Hang tough.

Lol, you sound very naive with little life experience. That’s not a put down. Do me a favor(and yourself). Remember this moment and a few years down the line…recall the post and see if your comment will change. Take care….
I think it was terrible what they did to their parents. Now can only be judged by god. May god have mercy on their souls. Cause they will never leave jail. Who in the hell would marry a convicted murderer. They got to be off their rocker too. Maybe the elevator doesn’t go to the next floor.I guess they have their reasons to.Is it publicity or $$$$.
The movie aired on tv today and it disgusted me all over again, the nerve of them, I don’t believe their story of abuse at all and like rosie said they were of age and if things were that bad they could have left. It was all about greed and lyle wanting to fit his fathers shoes. They are right where they belong and I hope they rot their!
I disagree. The Menendez brothers should have received the maximum sentance for voluntary manslaughter.
A mother who enables an abusive father to the point where all her children rely on psychologists to cope with the abuse is herself complicit in the abuse. I don’t believe the boys were abused sexually, but I do believe they were verbally abused and felt no other way out.
No one has ever challenged the established moral turpitude of Mr. and Mrs. Menendez.
Muhahahaha
The brothers were both greedy. If they were being abused they had a choice to leave the home. I dont for one minute believe they were abused. They murdered their parents plain and simple to get money that they did not earn. Rot in jail.
I do believe abuse did go on in the home.A kid doesn’t just start to break in peoples homes for no reason especially a rich one.They are in prison for life so what would they ever lose by saying they were sexually abused if they weren’t??Sexual abuse damages children in ways beyond belief.It is theer fault for the way they both delt with all that rage thwy felt towards their parents.
Ken please don’t fall for their stories of child abuse and rape. Those guys may have had a tough father but if things were so doggone bad, they could have left. They were 21 and 18… instead the shotgun their parents to death and then go on a wild spending spree. Don’t feel sorry for them! They wanted their parents dead for one reason and only one reason…the money. I followed both trials and those guys are right where they belong…behind bars for the rest of their lives. I am sorry you were abused…I and my siblings were also abused but we certainly never thought to resort to killing. Besides, the tales of rape were just that. Tall Tales…all lies. Eric and Lyle did the crime. Now they do the time. Feeling sorry for them is a waste of time. Look at the crime photos…especially the ones of Kitty Menedez. If that doesn’t show you what cold blooded killers those two are nothing will. By the way Lyle has stated he has spoken to his mother recently and she understands. He claims he deserves to be released and he will never kill again. Funny coming from a guy who killed his mother with a shotgun. Oh and he has found religion too…like just about every notorious murderer in prison.
Voluntary manslaughter; pure and simple. Reasonable doubt was established as to motive.
I believe that they should rot in hell for what they did. They deserve to be put to death. Maybe they deserve that they should be set free, but nothing can bring back their parents. I do not know if they have any regrets for doing what they did or not. But they sure need to pay for what they have done. They can spend the rest of their lives in prison, but it won’t bring back the lost.
Ken….do not believe these greedy brothers cover story of child abuse. They confessed in detail about the deaths. Not from police interrogation but from a doctor whom they felt safe to confess. Thinking the privacy of doctor/client privilege they told the tale. If not fir the girlfriend of the doctor being of this the truth would never be exposed. Lyle was ordered to attend counseling with this doctor following arrest for breaking/entering. What do young wealthy men need by burglarizing a home but the same greed that led to this sad case. Do not count them among the many TRUE victims of child abuse. They played a great role in court. It sickens me that they have been allowed marriage and privilege in jail. They parents stuck down for greed. One day they would have been given to them. They just wanted it before the lives of the parents ending naturally. Beware of those who come in sheep’s clothing for their intentions are hidden well. They never purchased a grave marker for the parents before spending millions on rolled watches porch cars, jeeps, oh ya a chicken wing restaurant in N.J.
Thank You for the reply. It is just by wathcing the movie I realy did feel sad for them because their father did seem like a bastard to them. I listened to what you said, I agree, but there is still that little doubt on my part. I just feel for them because I was abused but just chose to run away at an early age. I didnt care about money then or now. I never believed money was the main ingredient for happiness.
I was wondering if the Mendenez Bros. rec. e-mails? This whole thing is a tragedy. Being an abused child myself I chose to leave home at age 17. I think it is sad to see them in prison for life if they were truly abused. I know what it is like to grow up in a hostile environment. I hope some way some day they will be free
Hey Ken, no the brothers cannot receive emails. Their snail mail addresses works just fine though.
I agree, we should all be allowed to seek vengeance for wrongs done to us as children, be careful, “wrong” is determined by the child, not you. Remember, your childs memory often records better than yours does
