On a seemingly perfect day, August 19, 1989, Jose and Kitty Menendez took their two sons, Lyle, 21, and Eric, 18, on a leisurely boating trip aboard their family yacht. Little did they know that this outing would precede an unimaginable tragedy. The very next night, as the family settled in for a relaxing evening, Lyle and Eric made a shocking decision that would alter their lives forever.

In a moment of darkness, the brothers fatally shot both of their parents and spent the rest of the night desperately trying to cover their tracks.
