On August 20, 1989,  Erik and Lyle Menendez murdered their parents in their Beverly Hills Mansion. Their sizable inheritances and their lavish shopping sprees after the murders left everyone wondering if the murders were committed out of greed, or was something else going on behind closed doors? This week is part one of the Menendez Brothers.
