Derrick talks about himself all of the time. Constantly refers to himself and everything he knows. It’s distracting. Stephanie does a great job.

Crime Weekly is the first podcast I have listened to all the way through! I can’t turn it off!! You both are amazing!

Here’s what I think about this latest episode. I finally remembered when this happened bc I remember the silly string incident and I thought how could you do that after your babies were murdered. I just couldn’t get over it. That video was everywhere!! And if they did it then I believe it was together. To me I believe it was both of them or the dad was the one. Tried to kill the kids quickly and quietly and then take care of Darlie. And she woke up. But fr I think they both did it. The other guy she said that would want her dead I thought maybe he took her kids away bc his were taken away from him 🤷🏻‍♀️ but I’m guessing the parents both did this

I see a lot of critics regarding Stephanie & most are so surface level. When you’ve been podcasting for as long as SH & it is you doing all the reading, researching, & deep-diving…not just a paid researcher pre-writing a script for a flowery voice to deliver to us, then obviously opinions will be strong because you know the ins & out/forward & backward. I appreciate CW not being so pc & things being said how they’re meant. This duo is one of my faves! Easily 5⭐️

I don’t even ‘do’ podcasts but wanted to be a good Stephanie fan. And I was trying to find the dang WildGrains promo code. I knew I should’ve written it down.😭

You all do THE BEST job of covering this trial. Breaking it down, explaining the charges and the relationships. So glad to hear this view of the trial.

I listen to a lot of true crime shows and this is one of the worst. I tried 3 different episodes and didn’t make more than 10 minutes though any. Stephanie is a true narcissist who takes every fact and detail about the victim and somehow turns it into something about herself, her life, her opinion. Me me me!! No thanks.

I listen to a lot of true crime, this is one of my new favorites. I like the insights of each host, production quality is good, they don’t focus on the most gruesome factors of the crime. Small Town Dicks has been my favorite but I’m in a dry spell there, so this has been filling in and I really like it. Thanks guys!! P.S. Updating my review to say “Jagwire, like the animal” 😂 I was LOL-ing

I admittedly listen to far too much true crime, and I can honestly say that this is my absolute favorite podcast. It’s probably a bit weird how much I look forward to Fridays because a new episode will be released, but the wait is always worth it! Even if there is a case that I think I know everything about, somehow Stephanie manages to find new information and the way the story is told is entirely engaging. Couldn’t love it more!

I’m with you guys and often ask ‘where is the common sense?!’ when he was being sentenced? My mom has always said, ‘if they’ll lie to you, they’ll steal from you, and if they’ll steal from you, they’ll kill you.’ With that many crimes in his record, how could they not see the potential for him to seriously hurt or murder a law abiding citizen? It’s so sad.

Wow, fantastic story, entertaining and deep! Loves these episodes! Well done, historical take! Yay!!!

Stephanie appears to hate immigrants. Very disappointed. What is going on? Stephanie has begun to be one step away from QAnon level conspiracist.

I came because I'm a Derrick fan, but I now love Stephanie just as much! They are a great duo, very great brother/sister relationship, for not being actually related! Both very honest and relatable. Steph, I feel ya girl! Keep it coming guys! Love you both!

Please continue this series! I'm hooked on Lana Turner and would LOVE to listen to Natalie Wood!

I tried again with Lana Turner. And Stephanie is still obnoxious and arrogant. She is so annoying. Listen to your co-host…you don’t have to be the loudest in the room. How can you sympathize with Jose and Kitty? OJ was found not guilty. Unless you were there with Nicole and her boyfriend, you don’t know a thing. You should be more respectful to your co-host. Derrick—you should make your own second podcast. Ditch her. You’re much better on your own. I’m listening to Asha Degree…Stephanie is so snarky. I reiterate my plea: ditch her, Derrick.

I listen to this podcast before work. It has been a part of my morning that I just look forward to before teaching. Stephanie and Derrick are so awesome and there really is no other podcast I’ve found that paints such a picture for the audience. The story telling is top notch as is their humor and banter. Please never stop recording podcasts!!! It’s unlike any other.

Love this podcast! I do listen to a lot of true crime and I just started listening to Crime Weekly a few months ago. I have listened to a ton of episodes over the past few months and I appreciate the deep dive into cases! I love the banter and overall fun interaction at times that they have! The cases can be heavy but they make light of things at the right time. Keep up the great work Stephanie and Derrick! :)

Love this podcast! And loving this Lana Turner series!

This is my favorite true crime podcast that has a perfect balance of relaying a clear and concise case while also providing a former detective’s perspective and information on the case! I genuinely loveeeee it

She was a notorious man-izer; the best man that got away was the gorgeous Tyrone Power. He was the love of her life, but didn’t want her drama. He fell in love with Linda Christian and married her in 1949.

I love how Stephanie & Derrick cover these cases. Their camaraderie & friendship makes each episode an easy listen. Their experience & passion for true crime helps them to break down the cases in a well organized manner. Thank you two for your great work!

Fist off, I want to say I’ve been with you guys since the beginning and I love love love your podcast. I just watched Derricks season of Big Brother now every time I hear Derricks voice all I will be able to hear HOLLA!!!!

I like Derrick but I can do without Stephanie and her opinions. I only listened to one episode and it was enough for me. If he has a podcast without her, I would listen.

Stephanie is so annoying and obnoxious. Talks down to Derrick like she knows it all.

buddy loves to hear himself talk my god feel and for home girl she is always so well informed and fair with her observations and that buddy well butt in like “YEAH OK BUT LISTEN I’M NOT SAYING THE KILLER COULD OR COULD NOT HAVE BUT I’M JUST SAYIN WHAT I’M SAYIN IS WHEN I WAS A COP SOMETIMES WE DID OR DID NOT WEAR SHOES”

My sister referred me to this podcast last week and I’ve been hooked ever since… in my car, folding laundry, at my office! I started with episode 1 and just finished the JonBenet series! So good! I appreciate their varying perspectives and attention to detail! Keep it up Crime Weekly!

Wrote in notes if case is solved or unsolved. Waste of time for those of us who don’t listen to unsolved. It’s not that difficult. What a waste of time. He is a pompous jerk.

First I'd heard of Iowa 4 texts and 911. Could have been intriguing and informative. They went on, with their insipid droning opinions, for almost TEN MINUTES just about the dispatch situation! The guy can't help but constantly interject how he did that job once, he's a dad (ok...), he's been in one similar position or another, &, all, again, his opinion. Just speaking to hear his own voice, while adding zero value to the story. Someone please give him attn at home! He hurt my ears.

Derrick your comment about the border was low

Having had to call 911 more than once for my husband the more compassionate the 911 operator was the calmer I was getting through the crisis. This woman had NO compassion at all and as Stephanie commented sounded like a robot. It actually made me extremely frustrated listening to her.

I’m always invested in the deep dive and conversation you get from this podcast!! This one on JCs mysterious murder has me really puzzled. He seems like a guy with a lot of enemies, maybe one hired people to kill him and part of that payment was “ And you can rob his nephew next door, they’re drug dealers and have cash in the house all the time” wouldn’t be the first time promise of things to rob is used as partial payment in a hit.

I wonder who else in the grocery store has murder-death-kills in their ears while they pick out apples? I found this pod a couple of years ago after listening to Serial and getting wrapped up in the Hae Min Lee case. Then I followed them into the Summer Wells case… my lands! I was hooked. The depth they go into, multiple episodes, ALL the content is perfect for my long rides, runs, grocery trips, house chores…. Uhhh everything. A little addicted.

They have a lot of undertones of xenophobia, especially when it comes to Mexico, very obvious when it comes to Stephanie's mouth, and derricks silence speaks volumes

Love this podcast, love a strong woman who isn’t afraid to speak her mind and a real man who isn’t intimidated by a strong woman! I love the dynamic, I love how in depth each case goes, and I will continue to listen as long as you continue to release new content.

I’m a 52 year old woman from N.C. who loves true crime. I have been listening to you for awhile now and you are absolutely my favorite podcast. My daughter is 34 and loves it as much as I do so I recommended you to her now you’re her favorite too. We call each other and talk about ur cases for hours. I’ve started going back to cases I’ve not heard u do before and they are awesome. Just wanna say you guys are great I can’t wait to hear next weeks episode!!!

I have been listening from the first episode. Although I have heard many of these cases I appreciate how in depth you guys go. I have learned new things from these cases I never knew before. Keep it up great work!

Stephanie and Derrick are INCREDIBLE hosts who are doing great work for victims and their families. Negative reviewers simply don’t like hearing a strong woman talk 🙄 Both Stephanie and Derrick are sensitive to all sides of the conversation. It’s so obvious these two truly care about how their work impacts the true crime space and I cannot express enough how grateful for every episode. We need more people like Derrick and Stephanie in the world. ❤️

TALK ABOUT EMILY PIKE on crime weekly updates! A 14 years old Indigenous girl who went missing in Mesa, Arizona in January! Her body was just found last week dismembered near Globe, Arizona! Her case was leaked to the media! They have not shared much of anything since! #MMIW #JusticeforEmilyPike

If you just want to hear the story of the crime, this podcast isn’t for you. If you want to take a deeper dive of all evidence and theories of a crime, this is a great one! This is my favorite true crime podcast! Crime Weekly would not be Crime Weekly without Stephanie AND Derrick. (Sorry Derrick, YOU’RE WRONG!) Furthermore, these reviews that are negative towards one or the other are missing the point. Their professional and personal differences add depth and character to the show. Personally, I enjoy when Derrick “mansplains” techniques for collecting evidence or how investigations work. This POV from the investigator is eye opening. Often times I am agreeing with Stephanie then Derrick explains how that’s actually possible or why an investigator did this or that and it changes my theory. If they agreed on every aspect of the crime, it would be just any other true crime podcast. This isn’t a retelling of the crime; allow for some personality to show. Stephanie gets a little opinionated but she is the voice in our head; the POV of an average person listening to the episode. We don’t like Casey or Jose (any many more). I truly enjoy their bickering back and forth, Criminal Coffee chat, and “nothing burgers”. Keep up the great work!

My dude seriously said their show is a learning tool lol. You are clueless and full of yourself if you think people aren’t listening to true crime for entertainment .

I started listening because I looked up a specific case I wanted to learn more about. This podcast now has me in a chokehold. I am obsessed & it is now my favorite crime podcast !!!!!!

I constantly search for new crime casts that I love. This one is my favorite by far. I wish there was more like this one. The research, and the detective perspective puts this podcast ahead of all others. I was introduced to this by I friend only a year ago, so I have been able to listen to almost all previous. More please

I can’t believe I’ve never heard of this case. So interesting with all of it’s twists and turns.

I’ve here of the sausage I’m in Augusta Maine ! Love the show omg I look forward to Fridays

I’ve always gone back & forth on my opinion (& ability to tolerate) Stephanie’s obvious bias & harsh judgments of the characters in the cases she discusses. It’s easy to nod along when she’s bashing the obvious bad guys. It’s easy to like it when she’s dishing out the tea on the clear villains stupid life decisions. It gets harder to keep listening when the situations aren’t so black & white. I think the whole Gypsy Rose saga may have been the straw that broke the camels back for me tho. Right off I’ll say that I def do not think Dee Dee deserved to die b/c of anything she did. No one should pay with their life for anything they may have done. However, the light in which Stephanie framed Dee Dee was just gross. She basically said she thought she was a mom who only medically abused her child in order to ensure Gypsy has the chance to have experiences & opportunities that Dee Dee wouldn’t have been able to give her. Uhhh what?! Idk where her opinion came from about Dee Dee, but I know it wasn’t from a deep understanding or personal knowledge of their life or why she did anything she did. What can be proven? Well, at the very least, we know there’s a video of Gypsy with a shaved head (which Darrick correctly mentioned is abuse), which Deedee did to pretend Gypsy had cancer. We know Gypsy’s dental hygiene was so neglected that her teeth were decaying & had to be pulled out. Those facts alone prove that she was at the very least neglected to the point of abuse. I’ve also found more recent info claiming that the only provable medical conditions that Gypsy’s has were/are a lazy eye (albeit to an extreme) & sleep apnea. So it dang sure seems to me like Gypsy’s rose was medically abused. Then she goes on to say things like “why didn’t she just leave if she was so unhappy?” Why don’t DV victims leave their partners who are their abuser? It’s pretty high handed to say that about anyone abused. Also would you let Derrick give his final thoughts without interrupting him with your thoughts every fricken time? He usually doesnt say a peep while you’re ranting & raving on your final thoughts. Like Jesus let someone else talk for a minute without trying to push your opinion on them (& us). & just b/c you have a psychology degree Stephanie, it doesn’t mean you’re an expert on all things psychological. Some of the statements you make prove that, but it just seems like you want everyone to know you have some psychology background. It makes you less relatable (which I’m sure you don’t care about tbf). I’m positive if you have a doctorate you’d be one of those people who insist on people calling you “dr so & so” 🙄. I think I need a break from crime weekly in conclusion lol.

Not a bad podcast but after listening to the Kyron Horman episode, I was a little turned away because of the way Stephanie acted. Dear god you are the most biased person I have ever heard on a podcast. Please stop throwing your two cents in about hating the mother. I’m giving you guys 3 stars because it’s still a pretty good podcast.

I’ve been listening to this podcast for a while, as I really appreciate the detail and time involved with researching the tragedies that are discussed. Stephanie goes to great lengths to connect the dots and evaluate theories, especially for this case. Derek, is insensitive and annoying and sometimes condescending to Stephanie and quick to dismiss her point of view. This particular episode touches on mental illness and suicide. It’s clear that Derek doesn’t have a lot of experience with this subject and is uncomfortable accepting the unknown factors with mental health crises that contributed to Mr. Rivera’s death. Derek, there is no right or wrong way to commit suicide. The act of suicide doesn’t always include a note to explain why, the decedents estate planning guidelines or financial security for the loved ones. Stephanie could easily do this podcast on her own or with someone else who isn’t a know it all who knows nothing at all.

As a 23 year veteran working in child welfare (not in California), I can say we try to keep a child in a home they comfortable with. But we are required to do full criminal and abuse history checks. So, if the family Lisa was with had negative results on either of these checks, could explain why she was not allowed to stay with them.
