A recent series on the Menendez brothers' case has sparked an uptick in 911 calls made to police concerning the notorious Beverly Hills mansion where double-murder took place.
While Erik and Lyle Menendez push for their freedom, a recent series about their case has sparked an uptick in unwanted attention and 911 calls concerning the notorious Beverly Hills, Los Angeles mansion where the brothers brutally murdered their parents in 1989. In the few weeks following last month's release of the Netflix true crime drama, 'Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story,' authorities received 12 calls about the mansion, Beverly Hills Police Capt.
The mansion was originally purchased by Jose Menendez for $4 million in 1988. The following year, his two sons would fatally shoot him and his wife. Joseph Menendez, who goes by his middle name Lyle, and Erik fired so many shots, they had to go back to the car to reload before firing the shot that killed their mother, who had tried to escape after being wounded, according to authorities.
The brothers' family members rallied in Los Angeles this week to advocate for their freedom, saying the brothers were 'failed' by the very people who should have protected them. 'The whole world was not ready to believe boys could be raped or that young men could be victims of sexual violence. Today, we know better,' Joan Andersen VanderMolen, Mary Menendez's sister, said.
Despite all the attention the house-turned-tourist-attraction seems to be getting, Subin said Beverly Hills police will continue doing their job and responding to all calls they receive. 'Nothing has changed in our deployment or our operating, but if we do receive a call there, we will respond like anywhere else in the city,' Subin said. 'If someone calls up, we will respond no matter what…no call too small.
