Wisconsin Teen Charged with Mother's Homicide, Inspired by Menendez Brothers Documentary

A 15-year-old boy, Reed R. Gelinskey, has been charged with first-degree intentional homicide after fatally stabbing his mother, Suzanne Gelinskey, in their Franksville, Wisconsin home. Prosecutors allege that the teenager was inspired to commit the murder after watching a Netflix documentary about the Menendez brothers, who infamously killed their parents in 1989. Following the attack, which involved hitting his mother with a dumbbell and stabbing her multiple times, Gelinskey surrendered to police, reportedly asking them to kill him. He admitted to feeling depressed and having an urge to kill his parents, and he had taken anxiety medication prior to the incident. The autopsy confirmed that the cause of death was multiple chest wounds due to blunt force trauma and stabbing. Gelinskey is being charged as an adult and his bond has been set at $1 million.
