![]() ![]() Erik took part in a number of burglaries and was forced to attend therapy, while Lyle was suspended from Princeton for plagiarism. However, warning signs of something deeper began to develop in the boys. Settled in the affluence of Beverly Hills, the Menéndez brothers were pushed to succeed by the competitive fire in their father: Lyle had the business acumen, and Erik was an exceptional tennis player. The family, which now included sons Erik and Lyle, moved to Los Angeles when José accepted an offer to work in the movie business. In the early '80s, José became head of RCA Records, where he helped to sign acts like Duran Duran and Menudo. The couple moved to New York City, where José's persistence had him rapidly working up from dishwasher to hotshot entertainment executive. He met Mary Louise "Kitty" Anderson in college, and they soon became married. As a teenager, he fled Cuba after the revolution, finding shelter in a cousin's home before earning a college scholarship for swimming. José Menéndez lived the life that all newcomers to America dreamed of, but few ever accomplish. ![]()
