The man who allegedly killed his neighbors at an Inland Empire nudist resort last August reportedly did so over a hot dog.
Michael Sparks, 62, allegedly killed Daniel Menard, 79, and Stephanie Menard, 73, in August 2024, and human remains were found under Sparks’ home at the Olive Dell Ranch Nudist Resort, according to investigators.
Sparks and the Menards did not get along, but as detailed in a court hearing Monday, the final straw was a hot dog, the Press-Enterprise reports.
A fellow inmate at the West Valley Detention Center reported to authorities that Sparks admitted to the killings and disclosed that he brutally beat the couple with a rake, a hoe and a hammer, Redlands police Detective Thomas Williams testified.
“[The other inmate] said Mr. Sparks told him the incident started over a hot dog that Daniel Menard had purchased for him,” Williams said. “He said Mr. Sparks felt that the hot dog was a jab at him, making him feel like he was worth only a dollar hot dog, and that’s what set him off that day.
He also admitted to drowning the Menard’s dog, Cuddles, in a sink, Williams testified.

Here for the hot dog jokes...
To be fair, the neighbor was wielding a huge hot dog at his wife.
“He also admitted to drowning the Menard’s dog, Cuddles, in a sink.”
Be careful about the hot dog buffet at a nudist colony after one of the nekkid peoples disappear.
His wasn’t big enough?.................
They must really good hot dogs!
And they cost only a dollar!?!
Where he’s going, he’s gonna need that frankfurter for someone’s buns.
The headlines write themselves.
Not a good case for concealed carry.
Hot Dog jokes and a nudist colony? Surely you jest.
Is that a hot dog in your pants Michael or are you just glad to see me? Heeelp! It was a hot dog!!
“There are eight million stories in the naked city. This has been one of them.”
Indeed.
They’re right up there with the Uranus threads. Such sophomoric hijinks on FR!
Now there’s a case for anger management.
No pants, remember. This occurred at a nudist colony. I know, I know, it ruins the joke.
There's no telling what he would have done if he had bought him a Vienna Sausage.
Hot dog, bratwurst, polish sausage, hot links
Its all good at the nudist resort.
