On October 3 2024 District Attorney George Gascón called an odd, impromptu press conference about the Menendez Brothers case. This was followed by more than 24 members of the Menendez/Andersen families holding a press conference on October 16 outside the courthouse in downtown LA.

On the heels of that, on October 24, District Attorney George Gascón called another press conference and announced his recommendation to resentence Erik and Lyle Menendez to 50 years to life and that they should be eligible for parole immediately.

The brothers have been in prison for 34 years and six months. In the run up to the election, there’s a lot at stake. Join Laura as she unravels the next steps. Listen to the family and understand why both sides are unified and supporting Erik and Lyle’s immediate release.

Laura and Robert deep dive Dominick Dunn’s backstory and the Monster’s portrayal of Lyle and Erik, criminal defense attorney Leslie Abramson, prosecutor David Conn and Jose Menendez.

Laura and Robert discuss the significant differences between trial 1 and 2 and Robert and Nery Ynclan’s investigation into the boy band, Menudo, and discovery of Roy Roselló, who disclosed that he was raped by Jose Menendez. This new evidence is included in the Habeas Petition which was submitted 24 hours after the premiere of the Peacock documentary Menendez + Menudo Boys Betrayed.

In part 2 Laura and Michael discuss what male domestic abusers say about their abuse of women, why male role models don’t work and the 12 dialogues to use when speaking with boys and young men about being safe and being safe to be around to break the blueprint of misogyny, coercive control and abuse.

Michael set up Men At Work, an organisation which unravels the macho blueprint and all the ways boys are brought up to devalue and disrespect women and girls, and in some cases, become abusive to women.

Laura interviews Robert Rand, Emmy and duPont-Columbia Award winning journalist who began covering the Menendez brothers’ case for the Miami Herald the day after the killing of José and Kitty Menendez on August 20, 1989.

In this episode Laura and Robert separate the facts from fiction as depicted in Ryan Murphy’s 9-part show, Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story which premiered on Netflix on September 19 2024.

Robert is the only reporter who covered the investigation in the fall of 1989 and was in court daily for each six-month long Menendez trial in 1993-94 and 1995-96. He’s Co-EP of Peacock’s ‘Menendez + Menudo Boys Betrayed’ which began streaming on Peacock May 2, 2023, and is the author of "The Menendez Murders", which had an updated edition released September 10th, 2024.

On the three-year anniversary of 22-year-old Gabby Petito’s murder, Laura interviews Nichole Schmidt, Gabby’s mother.

In this episode, Nichole shares what Gabby was like growing up as well as details about Brian and Gabby’s relationship and what she now knows to be the red flags.

Gabby was reported missing on September 11 2021 after her 23-year-old fiancé, Brian Laundrie, returned from a cross-country road trip without her on September 1 2021. Instead of speaking with Gabby’s family, the Laundrie family chose to lawyer up.

To mark the three-year anniversary and in honour of Gabby, listen to the conversation and share the episodes with family and friends. It might just save a life.
