    Not sure if anyone really remembers this case, it was HUGE at the time. The very interesting point though about this was that at the time the parents were known to be very active in the JW religion. I also believe that the father may have been an elder(I could be mistaken, though). Either way, the husband and wife were very well-known and wealthy. Also very active in the congregation.

    The D.A. in this case has said that they have found a letter that said the boys were being molested by their father. The note was written 8 months before ethe murder took place. They also had a member of the huge boy band at the time "Menudo" who said that the father had molested him when he was a teen. The father was apparently a high-powered record executive.

    With all the CSA issues that Watchtower is having, I can imagine bringing this high-profile case up once again is going to look real bad for them.

    I was an elder in the Beverly Hills Congregation for many years. The Menendez family were never Witnesses.

    I was told years ago that they were JW's and very active in JW Land. I am wondering if I am geting them crossed with someone else??? Well, I guess i was mistaken all this time. MY BAD

    I remember watching a mini series about this. I don’t recall this ever been brought out in the movie. In fact this is the first time I’ve heard of it. I’d have to assume, that them been JWs was not the case.

    They were definitely not JWs.

    I recall there was a family murder with two sons killing their JW parents, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't the Menendez family, rather was someone else.

    Yes, there was a shocking case of the two sons who killed their JW parents (German sounding name) but I wonder if it was in the PA area.

    All these years I swore it was the Menendez. It wasn’t. My bad.
