Lyle Menendez, a convicted murderer best known for the infamous 1989 deaths of his parents, is having a secret affair with Milly Bucksey, a British university student aged 21.
Lyle, 56, and Milly began their unlikely romance earlier this year, when he noticed her in a Facebook group run by his wife, Rebecca Sneed, 55.
Sources say that Lyle first approached Milly using a fake name before telling her who he really was.
The relationship grew quickly, and Lyle was caught with a cell phone that was not his at the Richard J. Donovan Correctional Facility in San Diego, California.
In the resentencing memo that former Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón filed in Los Angeles at the end of October, there was a record of that event.
The memo said that he was caught with the phone on March 15 in the cell that he shares with “multiple other people.”
Even though he was in trouble for the first time he talked to Milly, Lyle was able to get a second illegal cell phone and keep in touch with the young Manchester student.
Milly went from England, more than 5,000 miles away, to see Lyle in jail.
They posed with their arms around each other in front of one of the unique murals in the prison yard for pictures taken during their romantic rendezvous. They posed with a big dog in another picture, and Milly was sitting on Lyle’s knee in a third.
The cover photo on Milly’s Facebook page was changed to a picture of Ocean Beach in San Diego on November 17.
In Milly’s picture, you can see the beach’s unique promenade lined with palm trees and its cream-colored lifeguard towers.
Imperial Beach is only 20 miles away from Ocean Beach. That is where Lyle’s lawyer wife has lived since October 2020, when she moved there from Sacramento to be closer to her husband.
Erik and Lyle Menendez, who are 53 and 56 years old, have been in prison for more than 30 years without the chance of parole. They killed their allegedly abusive parents with shotguns in their Beverly Hills, California, home in 1989.
As OK! previously reported, the case of the infamous couple got national attention again when Ryan Murphy’s Netflix drama Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story came out in September.
Many people, including family members, celebrities, and people who just read the story, want the brothers to be freed. Erik and Lyle will have a court hearing on December 11 to decide if they should be given a new sentence of 50 years to life instead.
