Lyle Menendez’s Wife Rebecca Sneed Announces Their Separation After 21 Years

Lyle Menendez, the convicted murderer known for his involvement in the high-profile Menendez brothers case, is facing a new personal development as his wife, Rebecca Sneed, has announced their separation. The news was revealed through a Facebook post by Sneed on November 22, 2024.

Rebecca Sneed and Lyle Menendez were married on November 20, 2003. Sneed, a former magazine editor who later became a defense attorney from Sacramento, had been corresponding with Menendez while he was in prison. Despite their long-term marriage, the couple has decided to go their separate ways.

In her Facebook post, Sneed indicated that although they have been separated for some time, they remain best friends and family. This announcement comes as Lyle Menendez continues to serve his prison sentence.

The separation marks a significant personal change for Menendez, who has been incarcerated for his role in the murder of his parents, Jose and Kitty Menendez, a crime that garnered widespread media attention in the late 1980s and early 1990s.
