    The Menendez Family - Part 1 of 3

    In August 1989, José, 45, and Kitty Menendez, 47, were shot to death in their Beverly Hills home. Their sons, Lyle, 18, and Erik, 21, would later confess to the killings—setting off one of the most polarizing murder trials in American history. What initially looked like a mob-style hit unraveled into a story of family control, extreme dysfunction, and disturbing allegations of long-term sexual abuse. The trials exposed the private life of a wealthy, image-driven family and forced the public to confront uncomfortable questions about trauma, masculinity, and male child sexual abuse.

    Melissa and Christopher Wolfenbarger

    Melissa Dawn Patton grew up in a deeply unstable environment and spent much of her life trying to build something safer for herself and her children. Quiet, shy, and trusting, she married young, became a mother almost immediately, and hoped that starting her own family would bring the stability she never had. Instead, her life became increasingly chaotic. By her early twenties, Melissa was working long hours and trying to leave a volatile, abusive marriage. In late 1998, she disappeared. What followed was years of silence. The only people searching for answers were her family.

    Bonus Episode: Monique and Spencer Tepe

    On December 30, 2025, a missed workday raised alarms. When dentist Spencer Tepe failed to show up for work, concern quickly escalated, leading police to a home in Columbus, Ohio, where Spencer and his wife Monique Tepe were found shot and killed. Their two young children were alive inside the house. There were no signs of forced entry. No struggle. This was not a random act.
