 Vince Bucci/AFP via GettyLos Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón mysteriously deleted a social media post he made sharing one of the new pieces of evidence his office is considering in the case of Erik and Lyle Menendez, the brothers who earned national intrigue and horror after they shot their wealthy parents to death in 1989, CNN reported.
On Sunday, Gascón had posted a photo of a handwritten letter Erik had sent to his cousin Andy Cano which the brothers' lawyer argues backs up their claim that they were sexually abused by their father, and in turn that the brutal slaying was out of fear for their safety.
"I've been trying to avoid dad. Its still happening Andy but its worse for me now," the letter reads. "I never know when its going to happen and its driving me crazy. Every night I stay up thinking he might come in."

WASHINGTON — The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) today announced its request that the public provide recommendations on how to permanently protect against the prior administration's practice of intentionally separating families at the border to deter others from migrating to the United States.
"It is unconscionable to separate children from their parents as a means to deter migration," said Secretary Mayorkas. "I have met with separated families and heard firsthand of the immense trauma they have suffered. We have an obligation to reunite separated families and ensure this cruel practice never happens again."
The Request for Public Input will publish in the Federal Register on Friday, December 10. Comments will be accepted for 30 days until January 10, 2022. Individuals may submit comments by following the instructions in the Federal Register notice. Public feedback will be used to help develop recommendations to President Biden on how to prevent the Federal Government from implementing in the future the cruel and inhumane practice of intentionally separating families at the border as a tool of deterrence.
President Biden issued an Executive Order in February 2021 establishing the Interagency Task Force on the Reunification of Families. The Task Force, in coordination with non-governmental organizations and interagency partners, has established a process to identify families separated under the prior administration's Zero-Tolerance policy—pursuant to which families were intentionally separated—and reunify them in the United States. Families reunified in the United States, or those seeking to enter the United States for the purposes of reunification, are eligible for humanitarian parole and to receive support services.
