He accompanied the case from the beginning and states that investigations clearly pointed to Lyle and Erik before March 1990
One of the most media crimes in the United States in the 1990s, the Case of the Menendez Brothers It continues to generate reflections – especially among those who have been close to the investigation from the beginning. The journalist Robert Randauthor of a book about the case and collaborator of large vehicles on the roof, recalled how it was accompanied by the backstage of the story.
Second RandThe signs against the brothers were accumulating silently but visible to those who were aware. “It was clear to me, and for some other reporters who covered the case, that Lyle and Erik were the main suspects even before March 1990”he said in an interview with Adventures in history.
The brutal murder of parents, Joseph and Kitty Menendezinside the family mansion in Beverly Hills, it had occurred months earlier, in August 1989. The case had a strong national repercussion for involving a rich, supposedly perfect family, and children who initially presented themselves as traumatized victims. But the extravagant behavior of Lyle and Erik after the crime raised suspicions
Second RandThe evidence was accumulating discreetly, and the investigators just expected the right time to act. “They had knew a long time ago. The siege was closing”said the journalist.
Currently, the case has returned to public debate due to requests for judicial revision, especially after revelations of possible abuses committed by the father. The controversy over the motives of the crime remains: would it be ambition, despair or self -protection? Robert Randwho plunged into the case for decades, believes the truth is complex.
