6/12/99 Folsom, CA. EXCLUSIVE. Tammy Saccoman, photographed at Folsom Prison, on the day she was said to be marrying convicted parent killer Eric Menendez, in a jailhouse ceremony. Chris Morton/Online USA, Inc. JUNE 12, 1999 - SACRAMENTO, CA - Convicted parent-killer Erik Menendez has married a wealthy widow while behind bars. Erik, 28, tied the knot with 37-year-old Tammi Saccoman inside California's Folsom Prison. The bride wore a white trouser suit and the groom wore standard prison garb - a light blue shirt, blue jeans and boots. Erik and his brother Lyle are serving life sentences without parole for the 1989 shotgun murders of their parents in their Beverly Hills mansion. The newlyweds are allowed only to hold hands and exchange a quick kiss during visiting hours, four days a week. So much for a honeymoon. Tammi first fell in love with Erik while watching television coverage of his murder trials. After he was sentenced, Tammi made several trips from her home in Minnesota to visit Erik. She moved to Folsom two years ago to be near him and opened a pet store which she runs - incredibly - with the wife of another convicted killer - "Billionaire Boys Club" leader Joe Hunt. Amazingly, Erik's brother Lyle ALSO got married while behind bars. Lyle Wed Anna Eriksson by proxy over the telephone in 1996. She divorced him a year later and the average prison marriage lasts just 2-1/2 years. Chris Morton/Online USA, Inc.
