"Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story" has thrust the brothers, who were found guilty of first-degree murder in 1996, back into the spotlight. Both brothers are serving life sentences after admitting that they killed their parents, José and Kitty Menendez, in 1989. During their trial, they alleged a history of abuse by their parents led them to murder. Erik and their extended family has criticized "Monsters," calling it a "gross, anachronistic, serial episodic nightmare."
Lyle Menendez was first married to Anna Eriksson, a former model, after meeting her by mail post-arrest. Despite their attempts to marry in a courtroom, they wound up having a secret telephone conference wedding, with Erik serving as the best man while incarcerated.
Lyle Menendez's personal life continues to garner attention; he has since been married twice. His correspondence-based friendship with Norma Novelli raises questions about the nature of relationships during incarceration.
