If you could know the truth about any unsolved mystery, which would it be?

Wasn’t there evidence that Warmbier was beaten while in custody? Head injuries are unpredictable and people have become brain injured from just a punch or a short fall and landing just the wrong way. Another article said the tour group he was with was well known for heavy drinking so maybe alcohol was involved. I do think it was an accident - maybe the guards/police meant to rough him up a little and hit him just in the wrong spot and caused brain damage.

OF COURSE THEY WERE MOLESTED.

If not - they did a pretty decent acting performance during their first trial.

Their recent claims that the main reason the killed their parents was because they were afraid their Father was going to murder them so they killed their parents as a form of self~defense.

But they were both adults - if they truly feared for their lives they could have just left home.
YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND THE DYNAMICS OF ABUSE.

And why did they feel the need to spend so. much. money so soon after being forced to shoot their parents in self-defense?

IT WAS THE LATE 80S IN BEVERLY HILLS. THIS WAS THE CULTURE. EVERYONE WAS SPENDING LIKE THIS.

When if the letter to the cousin re: being molested was intentionally written 9 mos. prior to the murders as part of the murder plan?
When if they had planned the murders ahead of time then waited the nine mos. so the letter could not be used as a motive for the murder in its initial stage??

OCCUM'S RAZOR. YOU THINK THEY PLANNED THIS FOR 9 MONTHS? NO WAY.

Why did Erik confess to murdering his folks to his therapist yet made no mention of being molested?
I mean, if you feel comfortable confessing something as huge as murdering your own parents to a therapist then you should also feel 💯% comfortable discussing sexual abuse.

NO.

I am the same age as the brothers are now (55) and I disagree with the fact that sexual molestation was super taboo during 1989.
While it wasn’t discussed as much as it is these days - it certainly wasn’t taboo.

I'M 54. IT WAS VERY MUCH TABOO, ESPECIALLY FOR MEN.

I would love to know the mystery of if any incest actually took place prior to the murders….

Still, they were 18 and 21 when they shot their parents. They could have easily rented a place together, so whatever happened in the house doesn't excuse the horrible crime. Remember they also threatened to kill their shrink. These two should never be released.

+1 And if you believe they were abused and they’re justified for killing their father, it’s not an excuse for killing their mother.

A mother who allows this to happen to her children deserves it even more than the one who committed the abuse. The abuser is clearly sick. The mother? She allowed it because it was easier for her. Hotter place in hell for her. Plenty of reason, let alone excuse, to kill her.

I’m sorry but this sort of anti woman BS makes my blood boil. So a father repeatedly r*pes his son, and the mother is too scared to stop it, and the MOTHER deserves MORE blame than… the r*pist? What??

What? This is an anti-woman at all. You cannot bring children into this world and then fail to protect them to that degree. Full stop.

But the father also brought them into this world and actively raped and tortured them. And yet the mother , according to PP, deserves MORE blame than the father despite the father being the actual rapist. Tell me how this is not anti woman.

Ok:

If a mother is the parent who is horribly abusing her children (which is not the case with the Menendez brothers, but, sadly, is often the case), and the father is aware of it and does nothing -- then that father deserves the hottest circle of hell. If you are the (relatively) capable parent, you get your child out of there, you protect your child at all costs instead of allowing the abuse to happen. You do whatever you have to do instead of allowing it to go on for years, and years, and years, destroying the psyche of your child(ren).

I just think it’s absolutely wild that you’d hold the non raping parent to a higher level of punishment than the actual rapist parent, letting the rapist off the hook because they are “disturbed”. As if a parent who knows the other parent is abusing their child in this way and can’t bring themselves to stop it isn’t also absolutely mentally disturbed and traumatized. Why let the rapist use this excuse of being unwell but not the other parent?

Glad you aren’t a judge, over there letting the rapists and murderers off and sending their family members to jail instead.

You have incredibly poor reading comprehension. No one anything about "letting" a "rapist use this excuse" or about "letting the rapist off the hook." In fact there were no excuses made here and no one got "off the hook" -- they both got shot.

And what makes you think I'm not a judge?

I thought it was the opposite, no evidence of being beaten. The family declined an autopsy for religious reasons but the scans didn't show any evidence of skull fractures.

William Bradford Bishop, the Bethesda, MD case from the 1970s. It was all over the news at the time. He murdered his mother, wife and children then disappeared. I believe he worked for the State Dept. The case was never solved.

You said “the mother who allows this to happen deserves more than the one (the father in this case) who committed the abuse”. If you are a judge, lol, and truly think that if a father rapes his child that the mother deserves a harsher prison sentence despite committing no such offense, then that’s alarming.

Oh I remember him. What was the “official” reason for his vegetative state? Also, why on earth would he go to North Korea and joke around like that.

NP. I think they claimed bizarre allergic reaction or something.

I think he probably did take the poster. It's exactly the kind of silly minor thing a college kid would do on a trip, maybe not fully appreciating the warnings or thinking it would probably work out OK just this once. Even going to North Korea in the first place shows a bit of a risk taker. And then my guess is after the North Koreans trumped it up and sentenced him to 15 years of hard labor, there was quite possibly a total plunge into despair and a suicide attempt that was interrupted (maybe with resuscitation that was too late for his brain), since it happened right after the staged court hearing. He likely and quite reasonably didn't realize that it was probably not actually going to be 15 years and the ploy was to keep him as a bargaining chip for a few months. And who knows what kind of psychological torment they'd been subjecting him to up to that point.

This is the narrative that makes the most sense to me. He was worth far more to the North Koreans alive and well than dead or totally disabled. They wanted to use him as a prop and a bargaining chip like they have with others. When he was brought home, the North Koreans provided actual MRI images and he didn't have bed sores and was adequately tube-fed; the parents probably decided he would not want to live like that and pulled hydration like Terri Schiavo's husband, which is why he died relatively soon after. But the care prior to that indicates to me that North Korea did NOT want what had happened and had expended time and resources keeping him physically alive and trying to keep the situation from worsening--how easy is it to find a functioning MRI machine in Pyongyang? I would imagine that whoever was supposed to be guarding him when the incident happened was probably executed themselves for allowing it to occur and putting them in a bad position.

I think you have interesting points. The reason I think he didn't take the poster is because of the video the North Koreans provided. It showed a tall man kind of woodenly taking down a poster. It didn't look like someone goofing around, and the video was unclear so that it was impossible to tell who it was. I think it was made up so he could be used as a bargaining chip. It's terrifying.
