Please Stephanie, “visit” South Africa a bit and do a deepdive and give your opinion on the missing girls from the 80s who were abducted by Gert Van Rooyen and never found. Please please please. 🙏

WOW! 12 million in insurance coverage for a yogurt shop!!

Can anyone help me negotiate how to get all the episodes in order i have subscribed just need help navigating❤
@AJNpa80
Dig the background, it's functional, and pretty nice looking for sound deadening in a small home podcasting studio. Black and blue, calming and dark, videos not too bright as a result. Figured I'd chip in my opinion on it as I've seen all these other comments about the background. You're a good storyteller.
@adrianas6638
Wanna hear something crazy? So, i found this video because i had been searching about this case.
For this reason, and this reason only- So, my husband currently works at a warehouse, in Temple, texas (wont state which one) but, my husband has been talking about this guy at work, that was charged and then convicted of a murder he didnt commit. Only today did my husband tell me about what happened in his case. He said it was like 3 girls at a yogurt shop in Austin in the 90s. I said, "strange, sounds like the yogurt shop murders". Well i looked up the guys name, which I'm finding out tonight, is Michael Scott. One of the men charged for these murders and eventually convicted of and then released… But dang, its just crazy that weve been talking to this man for a long time and just realizing how well connected he is to a case ive followed for years but not for one second, ever think he was taking anout that case because i tell ya, he sure doen plays the seriousness of it, knowing what i know now….

I feel like I could’ve created that profile
@jacquelinejacobs104
I remember this case I was a kid living in Killeen ,Texas so sad
@maureenhawes1598
I prefer the long videos! What does the background matter❓
I cannot believe there are so many shallow people, your background should not matter‼️
Don’t but realize this is a true crime show not home decor???
If they don’t know the difference, they don’t deserve you. Good grief some people just look for things to be negative. I appreciate everything that you do your detail it really matters not your background! I just can’t believe it. I’m just flabbergasted you have the patience of a saint!
@dancesmokesmile344
46:06 I mean, if he believed what he said was true the polygraph should actually show it as true. There’s a reason polygraph tests are not allowed as evidence, because they’re not that accurate. If someone did something but managed to lie to themselves/keep calm, it would show it as them telling the truth when they say they’re innocent, and vice versa. So either, he didn’t actually believe he had done it, or this is yet another case of polygraphs not being trustworthy
@dancesmokesmile344
5:56 They can’t really avoid using water when it’s burning though, can they? Because they do need to put out the fire first anyway. Is there really anything they could do to avoid doing anything to the crime scene except to let it burn (which would also ruin the crime scene)?

@kobeskrobe
Please make videos longer. I have 11 hours, 5 days per week at the minimum that I need to find something to occupy my brain while I'm working. I've already listened to all of the Crime Weekly playlists and have now resorted to YouTube's recommendations under your video to guide me to any that I haven't seen yet. Keep up the good work!
@user-hb5je1pl1v
53:12 where are the photos/mugshots???
@moderndesign5282
It’s SHOP not shaaap 😑
@katmack4215
It has NEVER MADE SENSE to me,how Detective can knowingly coerce false confessions from innocent people..😠
Like,what the hell is the point of that!!! Now,we've got a totally innocent person in prison(sometimes for the rest of their lives)and a really,really bad guy,still out on the streets..and,no doubt,committing more crimes,possibly even killing people. It's disgusting..🤨
@kalel311superman9
the firefighters had no way of knowing that there were murder victims inside they just do their job and the people responsible for the murders know that setting the place on fire and then putting it out would destroy evidence
@PopeSixtusVI
You only told half of the story with MacDuff (the broomstick guy); which is that he was sentenced to death and going to die in the electric chair before the Supreme Court declared capital punishment illegal (an overreach, btw, SCOTUS had no such authority) and then the Texas Supreme Court later declared the overcrowded Texas prisons to be unconstitutionally abusive towards the prisons and commanded Texas to release 25% of their inmates. In other words; knee-jerk liberals made this mess.
@TheTyler0678
I just discovered your channel! I grew up in Austin and was in 8th grade when this happened. It changed everything about how parents let their kids move around town. So sad.
@angelabryan2123
Please dont let your daughters work somewhere that would include them working late hours without proper security. Teenage girls should never be closing a store late at night.
@SweetUniverse
I think it's still legal for the police to lie
@ChumleeandButters
If I may, can I suggest the Las Cruces Bowling Alley massacre? I think you could do this case justice ❤. Also, I live in NM. I have several suggestions on f you’re interested. Deanna
@FrankC71
In Texas it is easier to blame Mexicans
@FrankC71
Palanco was a piece of sht, he made a gay blck kid in the hood blow him! He'd always drive around East Austin, Especially at night.
@FrankC71
During this time, a bunch of Black & Hispanic Girls were found dead or disappeared and media ignored it, a friend of mine who ived up the street from my Street Spur Street, he was off of Berger Street & Sara Lane lived with his mom his daughter who lived at Booker T Projects came up missing, but all the media decided to follow the Yogurt Shop Murders, Ain't that America? 4 Mexicans in Mexico were blamed even it was proven they were not in the area at the time Mexico convicted them and sent to Prison, Oh and what the fck is a Shat?
@stacyi6800
Stephanie, I'm so grateful for your detailed research and narration. This case is heartbreaking. I worked at a small yogurt shop throughout high school, often closing the shop alone. Like many teenagers I never understood the danger. My then bf warned me to be careful and told to make sure I locked my car doors because someone could get into my backseat – I thought that was impossible because I'd see someone in my backseat before I got in. One night I closed up and jumped in my car when someone grabbed me from the backseat. I panicked but lucky me it was my bf proving a point. Another night, I walked into the backroom and someone jumped out to scare me – again lucky me it was a friend playing a joke who got in from the unlocked backdoor. These 4 innocent little girls weren't as lucky that horrible night. This could happen to anyone- anywhere. It's heartbreaking and terrifying
@sillyb.swirls5155
I'm sorry but why did they call Chris in?
I don't feel like rewinding, and I could have sworn the cops in charge of the case promised to not pull anyone in without evidence.
@sillyb.swirls5155
Those forced confessions aren't actually that rare considering how often it happens in POC community
Cops really have this issue with scooping up young POC and gaslighting them into lengthy or life long sentences
@lauren9004
Pulanco was evil. Eff him.
@candyfairy3974
Wait, I thought those two roommates were in jail for ten years? Now it’s been ten months?
@Peanut_taco_muffin
It seems unlikely that a fingerprint expert would just look around with her eyes – it’s more likely she laid down powder and looked for prints but may not have found many clear ones. In a public place, you’ll find dozens to thousands of prints that overlap and are therefore not viable. Just because someone didn’t “take” fingerprints doesn’t necessarily mean they didn’t look thoroughly for them, but I don’t know about this agent specifically.
@angelmartin7310
In the WM3 case they had DNA from one of the boys on Echol's necklace. That confession was not false.

Frontline documentary: The Confessions, about the Norfolk Four
If this could happen to our service members, well . . . no one is safe.
That "crack" homicide detective in this case was actually a killer himself. This is not rare.
@SylMulder
I am on a days long binge still. Love this!
@Undeadbabe1
The west Memphis 3 killed those kids don't watch the documentary look at the actual facts from the paperwork … im shocked you didn't do this you seem like you look everywhere for info to get the truth ….
@kristinix9335
Hello, love your crime reporting! I thought I'd post something quickly because I had a couple of questions and I also wanted to share my insight as a journalist on your comments related to the so-called "media". In part one, you mentioned a link to a podcast you found as part of your research that included an interview with a first responder fireman. Could you please post that link? Also, do you ever share copies of the police records you use (via FOIA request perhaps) for your research? If so, I would be interested to read any documents you might have on file. I've never seen any of the investigative documents posted online. As for your comments about the media, I'd point out like police officers there is a range of different types of people who work as journalists both good and bad. During my times covering crime I've met heartless cut-throat TV reporters known to jump security gates, step over puddles of still-wet blood to interview witnesses and parents of a victim and twist comments made on camera via creative editing to fit a biased narrative. But know not all of us reporters are like that, especialyly not print jounralists like myself and 99.9 percent of print journalists I've worked with side by side over more than a decade in the newspaper business. Generally the most aggressive reporters work in TV news in my opinion. Print reporters, in particular investigative reporters, tend to be a little more careful, patient and considerate since our stories are often "long tail" which requires building relationships with our sources whereas TV journalists tend to focus on breaking news stories. But for both print, online and TV journalists, problems can stem from the demands of editors and/or producers who (in the case of print and online anyway) will push reporters to disregard boundaries. Even worse, editors and producers can assert control over the finished article to remove or add elements the writer noted by the byline is not asked to approve. Good editors will respect reporters and work with you but there are many more that will take your work and rewrite it completely. Some are verbally abusive and will covertly work to tear down your confidence. It can be brutal. But on the whole, most reporters are honest people just trying to get a good story. Thanks for sharing your work. I really enjoy your crime reporting.
@ericjones4776
Jessie Misskelley confessed to guilt on 7 separate occasions.. WM3 are 100% guilty
@tb4243
You could be recording from a dank closet, sitting on top of a cardboard box with zero background and I would still watch. I’d still look forward to my time listening to you just as much. Your die-hards are here for the content you deliver, not the stuff behind you.
@mitobrn8653
Thank you much for taking time to tell the girl's stories and who they were. They were amazing young ladies. I am from Austin and have followed this case since it happened. I visited the yogurt shop after it happened with the candles, flowers, pictures and stuffed animals. I have never been so effected by a murder case as this one. Much later I attended the same church as the sister's mother, Barbara. I remember sitting behind her on a mother's day and not being able to focus on sermon but thinking only of how difficult mother's day must be for this lovely lady.
@cg3743
I would love for you to do a deep dive on the freeway phantom murders. I am new to your channel but from the videos I have seen, a deep dive of yours would be incredibly useful for this case!
@traceymcdonald7949
I had to pause for a much needed laugh break after "his brother who is also a Jack a$$…" 😂🤣😂🤣
@davidmiddleton4851
I have to disagree about the west Memphis 3. Jesse was telling the truth. Also was genuinely remorseful
@CeeJay190488
I love your deep dives! They are so detail focused & I binge watch them. They are my favourite videos you do!
@vladdyydaddy
So the third type of confession is basically a form of being gaslighted by authority.
@charlotteroze6451
Kind of confused bc in part 1, it was emphasized how incredibly safe the area of Austin Texas was but all of the businesses surrounding the yogurt shop had been robbed previously, and considering that the yogurt shop was the latest shop to stay open, it seems that it only makes sense there would be a feeling of unease and danger with 2 young girls being the closers of the place. Im not sure I really believe all those people came to "check on" the girls as was stated in the first part, it sounds like alot of the people who spoke about it, who had been there at the shop that day were just narcissists pretending theyd seen something.
@ArchangelTara618
? how did the owner next door that ordered a pizza watching cheers not hear the gunshots? Unless there was a silencer used. He ordered a pizza & the girls at the TCBY also eating pizza, hum?
@sieraorr6315
I love your deep dives. I have watched a video on this case before and they left out so many details and so much about the investigation and why it was difficult to solve. Never apologize for a long video, the details is why I keep watching, along with your great story telling
@breeanavalles9717
Stephanie, I grew up in Las cruces NM. That bowling alley murder has been a stain on our city. I’d love if you did a video on it. There’s so many rumors about mobs but who knows.
Anyways I love your videos thank you for your content.
@berlin990
‘Wasting time chasing black people’, so in all your research you never bothered to look up any crime statistics I guess, lol.
