  • S3 Ep208: The Menendez Brothers: Money and Motives (Part 5)

    S3 Ep208: The Menendez Brothers: Money and Motives (Part 5)
    May 17 2024
    Beverly Hills, located just southwest of the Hollywood Hills, was and still is a place that the rich, famous and glamorous choose to make their homes. Known for its opulence and luxury, the homes in Beverly Hills are some of the most expensive in the United States, with some properties worth tens of millions of dollars. But behind the country clubs, cocktail hours and shopping trips, there was something much darker brewing in a high end Beverly Hills neighborhood. On August 20th, 1989, business executive Jose Menendez and his wife Kitty were brutally murdered while sitting in the living room of their sprawling Mediterranean style mansion, and what seemingly made this tragedy worse was the fact that their two son’s, Lyle and Erik, were the ones to make the gruesome discovery of their bodies. Suddenly orphaned, the Menendez brothers were initially looked at with sympathy, but soon they would be on trial for the murder of their parents. Lyle and Erik didn’t deny that they had taken their parents' lives, but according to them it was because they were scared and broken down after a lifetime of abuse. At the time, most people believed this was a fabricated excuse, and the prosecution gave greed and money as the true motive. A tragedy and trial played out for the world on television, ending with both Erik and Lyle confined at the Richard Donovan Correctional Facility in San Diego for life, with no chance of parole. Recently, newly discovered evidence and testimony has raised questions of whether Erik and Lyle were being honest about the constant state of stress and fear their parents forced them to live under.

  • S3 Ep207: Crime Weekly News: Parents Charged With Murder & Kevin Spacey Documentary Released

    S3 Ep207: Crime Weekly News: Parents Charged With Murder & Kevin Spacey Documentary Released
    May 15 2024
    In November of 2023, the Tucson police department responded to a home on East Limberlost Drive where they found an 11 year old boy who an autopsy would later reveal had died from sepsis.

    Investigators would learn that the 11 year old, who suffered from multiple medical conditions, was completely dependent on his caregivers; his mother, 33 year old Ariel Lee Horn and her boyfriend, 29 year old Charles Jackson McClellan Jr. According to the autopsy report, the child was found with extensive lesions throughout his lower body which were attributed to not receiving proper medical attention due to neglect from his mother and her boyfriend.

10 out of 10!

I love listening to (and viewing,) Crime Weekly. Stephanie is a great story teller and I love hearing from Derrick's perspective, as a former police officer. 👍 Definitely 10 out of 10. Their content is, thoughtful, in depth, and educational. They genuinely feel for each of the victims, of these horrific crimes.

Outstandingly Well Researched

I have watched the YouTube version of Crime Weekly since the very first episode and Stephanie has never failed to amaze me with her exceptional research skills.

Every single case is so thoroughly looked into that you really get a deep understanding of who the players are/were.
She and Derrick are always so respectful and kind towards the victims and you can see how much they care about finding justice for them.

Derrick's knowledge as an ex detective gives Crime Weekly an edge over other true crime shows and his ability to remain unbiased and level headed always impresses me.

I adore this podcast and its hosts.

You should check it out.

This is easily my favourite true crime podcast!

I have been watching Stephanie on YouTube for years and have always loved how in depth she goes with her research. They, her and Derrick, provide insight and advice on horrible cases with respect and sensitivity.
