Two horrifying murders. One shared motive: revenge. This week, we revisit the case of the Menendez brothers, who gunned down their parents in their Beverly Hills mansion in 1989. Then, we head to rural Alabama, where Derrick Dearman slaughtered five people and an unborn child with an axe—all because they wouldn’t let him see his ex. When revenge becomes the motive, no one is off limits.
