Erik Menendez’s Attorney Makes Rare Comments About Ryan Murphy’s ‘Monsters’ Series
A Wisconsin teen accused of killing his mother says he was inspired by the Menendez brothers.
Reed Gelinskey, 15, allegedly killed his mother—an elementary school teacher identified in court documents as SG—after watching a Netflix documentary detailing Erik Menendez and Lyle Menendez’s 1989 murders of their mother and father, Mary Louise “Kitty” and Jose Menendez, per authorities.
Gelinskey was charged with first degree intentional homicide March 6, and currently faces life in prison. Authorities detained the teenager in his Franksville home after receiving Snapchat messages Gelinskey had sent to a friend, per court documents obtained by NBC News, and the friend then alerted police.
In the social media correspondence, Gelinskey had allegedly included an image of a woman lying face-up on her back and another of blood on the floor, per the complaint. Alongside the photos, Gelinskey had written to his friend, “I stabbed my mother to death.”
The complaint obtained by NBC News details that officers found Gelinskey exiting his home shortly after 10:30 p.m. local time with a knife in his hand. When approached, he dropped the knife and told authorities, “She is dead. She is dead from what I did.”
