The Gruesome, Real-Life Murders Behind Netflix’s ‘Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story’


'Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story' is based on the 1996 conviction of the Menendez brothers for their parents' murders.

A dramatic, true-crime rendition of the 1989 Menendez brothers trial that perturbed the nation is arriving on Netflix from producer Ryan Murphy as part of his “Monster” anthology series.

At first, investigators thought the murder was related to Jose’s business dealings at Live Entertainment and perhaps linked to mob activities.
