So, I Married a Serial Killer - Mrs. Menendez

In this final episode of our series, So, I Married a Serial Killer..., we unravel the complex and unconventional love stories of Lyle and Erik Menendez—two brothers sentenced to life in prison for the brutal murder of their parents.

Despite being condemned to spend the rest of their lives behind bars with no chance of parole, both Lyle and Erik found love. In fact, Lyle has been married twice while in prison, and Erik has maintained a marriage for over 25 years. But how did these romances blossom without shared homes, date nights, or even the possibility of physical touch?

In this episode, we explore the women who chose to say, “I do,” to men they would never truly have in the real world. Who are these women? What drives someone to fall in love—and even marry—a convicted murderer they can never live with?

Join us as we close out the series by diving deep into the love lives of the Menendez brothers and the women who chose to become Mrs. Menendez.
