On this brand new episode of Crime Talk with Stef, we discuss the early lives of Erik and Lyle Menendez, the infamous brothers whose brutal crime shocked America in the late eighties. Before the headlines and courtroom drama, they were two boys growing up in a seemingly perfect, affluent family. Join us as we explore their upbringing, family dynamics, and the factors that may have set the stage for the tragedy to come. Uncover the layers of privilege, pressure, and dysfunction that defined their childhood and shaped them into the men they would become. This is part one of a multiple-part series. 

Trigger Warnings for mentions of violence and murder by firearms and graphic descriptions of the crime scene and injuries sustained by the victims. Listener discretion is advised.

On today's episode of 90's Crime Talk with Stef, we delve into the heartbreaking case of the San Antonio Four, a group of four women whose lives were irreversibly changed by a miscarriage of justice. This story begins in the early 1990s when Elizabeth Ramirez, Anna Vasquez, Cassandra Rivera, and Kristie Mayhugh, four close friends living in San Antonio, Texas, were accused of an absolutely heinous crime that would shake their lives to the core. 

As we explore the case, we talk about the investigation (or lack thereof) and trials that led to the women's wrongful convictions. We also discuss the role of societal prejudices, homophobia, and the "Satanic panic" hysteria that influenced the case's outcome. During our discussion, our understanding of the case grows (as does our anger) as we learn of the devastating impact of the system's failure on the lives of these women and their loved ones.

Trigger Warnings: homophobia and mentions/descriptions of sexual assault.
