Madison covers a heavily requested (by Taryn) case this week. In 1989 Lyle and Erik Menendez murdered their parents. That fact is not disputed. However, was it done out of fear or was it done out of greed? And what caused this chain of events to happen? In part one Madison tells us the background of the four members of the Menendez family up to the murder. Next week Madison gives you a two hour episode detailing everything that happened after.
