Lyle Menendez’s whirlwind marriage to pen pal lover turned wife Rebecca Sneed as she breaks silence on cheating claims

Even though he and his brother were found guilty of killing their parents, LYLE Menendez has been in prison for nearly 30 years, but that hasn’t stopped him from falling in love.

According to reports, the eldest Menendez brother is currently seeing a British student after being married twice.

As the claims that Lyle had cheated circulated, his second wife, Rebecca Sneed, who had known him for ten years prior to their 2003 wedding, came forward to speak out.

However, Lyle’s first marriage was to Anna Eriksson, a former salon receptionist.

In 1996, Eriksson told People that she had written to Lyle, telling him to stay tough, after the brothers’ first trial ended in a mistrial.

After seeing television coverage of Lyle’s initial trial, she contacted him.

She lived in Colorado at the time before relocating to Los Angeles.

Before he began phoning her frequently, Lyle and Eriksson met in person for the first time at the Men’s Central Jail in Los Angeles.

Eriksson recalls that he was constantly worried about me and inquired about my life.

On July 2, 1996, the day he and his brother were convicted for the killings of Jose and Kitty Menendez, Lyle and Eriksson got married over the phone.

In August 1989, Jose and Kitty were discovered shot in their Beverly Hills home. When their parents passed away, Lyle and Erik were 18 and 21, respectively.

According to The New York Times, Erik was Lyle’s best man when Leslie Abramson, the brother’s defense attorney, put the ring on Eriksson’s finger.

Eriksson referred to Lyle as a guardian angel, according to author Robert Rand’s book The Menendez Murders.

However, the marriage was not recognized as lawful by California officials.

Lyle and Eriksson’s marriage ended in 2001 with their divorce.

But in the meantime, Lyle had been meeting Rebecca Sneed, a journalist.

Sneed and Lyle exchanged letters when Sneed was known to visit Lyle in prison.

In November 2003, Sneed, who was 33 at the time, married Lyle, 35, in a ceremony held in Mule Creek State Prison, which is close to Sacramento, California.

Prior to their wedding, they had been acquainted for about ten years.

She paid Lyle a visit in prison, and the two corresponded via letters.

In front of about a dozen friends and relatives, their wedding ceremony took place in a high-security viewing area.

However, because prison regulations prohibited conjugal visits while Lyle was serving a life sentence, the pair was unable to spend extended amounts of time together.

A ‘STEADY’ MARRIAGE

In an interview with People magazine in 2017, Lyle talked candidly about the status of their marriage.

He regarded his marriage as stable and added that the two made an effort to speak on the phone each day.

He acknowledged that it’s a balance to the erratic and often stressful atmosphere here.

Lyle praised Sneed’s bravery while acknowledging that she has endured a lot.

“I’m really thankful that she doesn’t leave, even though it would be easier to do so,” he added.

For decades, Sneed has supported her husband during his legal battles.

Thirty-five years after their sentencing, Los Angeles District Attorney George Gasc, said in October that his office was examining pieces of evidence.

His team was looking into claims of sexual assault against the brothers, including one that Erik wrote to his cousin.

Erik and Lyle mentioned the alleged mistreatment they experienced during the trials.

Gasc, who lost his position in November, thought that resentencing was the best course of action.

He stated that he thought the brothers had settled their social obligations.

But, it has since emerged that Lyle has been in a relationship withMilly Buckseysince the start of the year.

She is a student at the University ofManchester.

Lyle has reportedly been communicating with her on the phone.

Cops seized the first phone, which was recorded in Gasc n’s resentencing memo, but he has been using a second device.

Bucksey has traveled from Manchester,England, to see Lyle behind bars, according toDaily Mailreports.

She apparently describes Lyle as her boyfriend.

Sneed has commented on the reports on aFacebookpage in Lyle s name.

Guys! This is NOT a cheating scandal, astatementsaid.

“Despite being apart for some time, Kyle and I are still best friends and family.

I continue to run his Facebook pages, with input from him, and I am forever committed to the enduring fight for Lyle and Erik s freedom, as has been so evident over the years.

Sneed vowed to continue fighting for the brothers.

Meanwhile, Talia Menendez, the daughter of Erik s wife, Tammi, posted acryptic message on hersocial media.

The decisions of one brother shouldn t overshadow the truth about the other, she said.

I d appreciate it if people would consider my dad for who he is, and not based on the actions of someone else.
