Three decades ago, a family disintegrated.  Two brothers committed the ultimate crime – shooting their parents to death in cold blood.  The brothers were Lyle and Erik Menendez and their story has captivated people for thirty years because of the revelations that would play out over the course of the murder investigation and the two trials that followed. Before the brothers appeared before a judge, the Beverly Hills Police Department had to do their investigation.  Episode One of Murder and the Menendez Brothers: A Court TV Mystery looks at that investigation and the little things it took for the brothers to avoid suspicion…at least for a little while.  For more Court TV and to see our coverage of the first Menendez trial on demand, go to CourtTV.com.
