TRUTH AND LIES: THE MENENDEZ BROTHERS

Erick and Lyle Menendez murdered their parents in their $5 million mansion in Beverly Hills in 1989. Jose Menendez, their father basically raised them to be psychopaths and they attributed the murdered to a lifetime of abuse.

In one instance, their father decapitated their family dog and put their head in the freezer for the boy to find. After the boys had committed the murder, they went for a shopping spree; which brings out the question if they had a financial motive for the murder.

I kind of have mixed feelings about this case and it is most definitely an interesting one.

THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH AUNT DIANE

In the summer of 2009, a suburban mother drove the wrong way down the Taconic Parkway for nearly two miles in New York. She crashed into an SUV killing herself and seven others. Among the dead were her daughter, and three nieces who were coming from a weekend at the campground.

After a toxicology report was conducted, it was found that her BAC was 0.19(with 6 grams of alcohol that had not been absorbed yet).

The case shocked everyone because she was an amazing mother who would not drink and drive especially with children in the car. The McDonalds employees who saw her deny seeing any signs of intoxication. The Advil employees were also certain that she was not drunk.

Moments before the crash, her niece called her father saying, ‘’There is something wrong with Aunt Diane.’’
