The Menendez brothers, 2 rich kids from LA, murdered their parents with a shotgun 30 years ago. They inherited millions, and Eric bought a shiny new convertible Porsche. Made all the news and Investigation Discovery shows:
Joseph Lyle Menendez, who goes only by his middle name, was initially married to Anna Eriksson, a former model. They had met after she had written to him following his first televised murder trial in 1993, leading to an innocent romance blossoming. In fact, within months of her first visit to Lyle in prison, they decided to tie the knot. Lyle’s lawyer and aunt attended their wedding ceremony, conducted in jail by a judge on July 2, 1996. However, nearly four years later, on April 1, 2001, Anna divorced him after discovering that he was “cheating” on her by communicating with another woman.

They, too, had met around the time of Lyle’s first trial, but they were only friends for most of the decade that followed. As for Erik Menendez, he married Tammi Ruth Saccoman, now Tammi Menendez, on June 12, 1999, in a waiting room at Folsom State Prison. Their wedding cake, as per Tammi, was a Twinkie. Like Anna, Tammi had also watched the brothers’ first trial in 1993 and had written to Erik, but their relationship only advanced after her first husband took his own life.
