On the night of August 20, 1989, Beverly Hills police received a distressed emergency call from 21-year-old Lyle Menendez. Inside the family’s upscale home, his parents — José and Kitty Menendez — were found fatally wounded.

What first appeared to be a targeted attack would unravel into one of the most controversial and widely debated cases in American true crime history.

In this full-length documentary from The Vacant Mind, we revisit the complex and emotionally charged story of Lyle and Erik Menendez — the brothers who later admitted to ending their parents’ lives and became the focus of two nationally televised trials.

Through courtroom footage, public testimony, and media coverage, this episode explores the family dynamics, troubling claims of long-term mistreatment, and the broader societal questions surrounding justice, trauma, and accountability.
