the film Peacock, a thriller released in 2010, directed by Michael Lander. Personal life Menke married film and television director Dean Parisot in 1986. Like Menke, he also graduated from New York University's Tisch School of the Arts. The couple had two children, Lucas and Isabella. Death Menke had gone hiking the morning of September 27, 2010, with a friend and her dog. Menke's friend left her after an hour when she started to feel unwell in the heat. When Menke failed to come home, her friends alerted the police. Search dogs, a Los Angeles Police Department helicopter, and officers from patrol units spent hours in Griffith Park searching for her. Her locked car was found in a Griffith Park parking lot. Menke's body was found at the bottom of a ravine near 5600 block of Green Oak Drive on September 28, 2010. Her dog was found alive, sitting next to her body. The coroner's office later determined that Menke's death was heat-related. It was in downtown Los Angeles the day she died. Legacy The Sundance Institute created a memorial fellowship in film editing to honor Menke. Tarantino's film Django Unchained (2012) is believed to be dedicated in her memory. It is the first film of Tarantino's that Menke has not edited. Fred Raskin, who had been Menke's editing assistant, has since taken over editing duties for Tarantino's films.

She has two additional credits for editing television documentaries: Hans Bethe: Prophet of Energy (1980) and The Congress (1988).
