The more this story unfolds, the more disturbing it gets.
It’s sickening and evil! 😭😭😭😭
@anth-nylRead. The. Journal. Entries. Released. It's most definitely sick & evil. Seriously go read. Then come back and tell us your INFORMED opinion.
@anth-nyl ???
Do you have kids locked up and starving in your basement?
I sooooo agree. Jodi, Ruby and Kevin all lied to the cops in their interviews. It’s pathetic!
@anth-nylJodi you better not be caught with that phone they’ll put you in the hole
The courage of that little boy to break free and rescue himself and his sister is really inspiring for me. I hope he has a great life moving forward.
deffinitely ! he's the most courageous being I've ever heard of, I hope he realizes and that he's being constantly reminded on how brave he is !
He actually escaped before and his mother drove around and found him in the street trying to escape and brought him back home. These families are sociopathic
@@likeargamanflaming940my heart broke 💔 reading Ruby's journal entries about hunting down her son when he escaped the first time. I can't imagine how hopeless and defeated that boy felt when he finally broke out, only to be tracked down and dragged back to continued cruelty. 💔😢
@@MeganVictoriaKearns Why was she writing down these things in her journal exactly? That's asking to be caught and incriminated one day. If I had plans to rob a bank I'm not going to write a journal about it. LOL!
Probably because she actually believed in what she was doing, that she was right and her children had the Devil in them.
There's a huge difference here. A 'safe room' isn't locked from the outside. If you use a safe room to escape a hurricane you don't have someone lock you inside. This was a safe turned into a room.
It’s a safe turned into a prison 😢
Whoever installed a toilet in the safe should have called the police. Looks pretty suspicious to me.
Hurricanes in Utah??? Ummmm oook
@@gloriaa.garcia3985In Utah, it would be very normal to have this vault. The building company would not have questioned. A safe room isn’t inherently suspicious
@@aarondavid9471it’s obviously not a hurricane shelter. Its intended purpose is a “safe room”. Different things.
Imagine being locked in that vault, starving and thirsty. An empty refrigerator, empty cupboards, and a non-functional sink all constantly reminding you of food and water.
thats reminds me my 20's

No it doesn’t. Stop trying to make light of this situation.
@@dozzer009 maybe it does, you don't know their life.

@@themudpit621 No, it doesn’t. You don’t need to know their life, you just need to be able to recognise a flippant remark. Basic Emglish-language comprehension. Grow up.
That is no vault! That is windowless jail cell with minimal ventilation or space.
literally better than most studio apartments loloolol
I mean it's pretty nice in that safe. I'd live in that.
Nice? 1’ x 6’ walking space with the bed down. No window or ventilation through the door. No food and only toilet water to drink.
yea poor kids :(
@@Jmpd1117 why would u be drinking outta the toilet when there's a sink right there
Terrifying to think there’s so many more kids going through this and no one has a clue
Thats the scary part
They were raided to think it’s normal
They work in the Juvenile Court. CPS, GAL's, judges, lawyers, have a secret court to traffic children. They get off on the power they have.
😔🤬🤬🤬
I always wondered the neighbor couldn't bring himself to say "I think this kid has been tortured", but now that I am looking at it he's sitting right next to the boy when he's making the call. Suddenly it made sense that he was somehow sensitive to deepening his trauma.
I agree he's being so gentle
@@kendallszabo9832the responding EMTs and police officers were incredibly gentle with his sister.
He showed that little boy more compassion in that moment than his mother showed him his entire life.
He also took a moment during call and cried or really tried to calm his emotions. That moment that replays breaks my heart every time because it shows how horrible the child was treated.
The composure he demonstrated is unbelievable. The wife in the background too. Glad they were home when the boy made it to their place.
The LDS church should be scrutinized for putting people like Jodi out front. Any other cult would have been investigated by now
No love like Christian hate as they say
No no they are NOT!!!! Religion hides the guilty
Christian based cults have so much power it's insane....... they took over an entire state. No one cares because they're Christian based. If they were Hindu based, Muslim, etc, they'd be labeled as terrorists, even if they gathered for arts and crafts 🤦♀️
Jodi was meeting with high-level LDS leaders at the same time she was holding the kids in her home. She's been meeting with church leaders for years and years, and influencing the church's addiction and recovery programs.
Scientology still does this to members. Not often, especially lately, but still...
When Jodi says to the detectives"if you knew all the pieces I think you'd have a lot of empathy"...just blows my fn mind.
As a man with a son, a son who changed my entire understanding of the word "love" and made phrases like "taking a bullet for X" a whole new reality, it absolutely breaks my heart to see what these children were put through.
I have two sons myself and I feel exactly the way you do!😢
I dont have kids. I do see red just looking at those 2 disgusting absolutely heinous, deplorable chimps. That one chimp on the phone refusing to come outside lol. They look like the perfect pinatas to me.
Yessir. Same.
100% agree brother
Why don't you get a room
There are bodies buried in that area. I’d bet a fortune. She’s been doing this for a long time. The authorities need to start digging in this monster’s yard….
For sure! This house is so eerie
Jodi getting pulled out of her house 🏠 clip never gets old. These two are monsters 👺
She has a demon vibe about her for sure.
YES, MONSTERS!
She sounds like Pam Hupp when she was on the stand. WHOOOO WHOOOO WHOOOO 😂😂😂😂 I F’in ❤ it!!!
That instant when Jodi is hustled out of her house. That instant when the cuffs are placed around Ruby's wrists.
In an unjust world, justice is a beautiful thing to behold.
Definitely
@christyklossthat's incorrect and is a common misconception. They do not, by law, have to ''protect and serve''
"Safe room" opens from the INSIDE. This was a jail cell. Contractor needs to be investigated.
It was a torture chamber!
i've seen this ring footage multiple times 3:10 the couple's compassion for the little boy always brings tears to my eyes. I can't imagine how these kids will grow up, feeling that almost every adult in their lives failed to protect them.
They'll be independent, I know that much. Happens when you don't trust anyone.
CPS has received and "investigated" multiple reports but concluded each time that everything was nice and dandy. They need to be investigated too.
@@kokoskokso yes, this ☝☝☝☝
Even the police lady was crying. It's heartbreaking
Maybe ? They will work as awesome advocates, special unit , csi .. what these kids went through .. they know , they have eyes to see and that they know a difference I pray they have gods armor protection 💟
When Jodi came home, she could see the cops and ambulance at her neighbor's house. So once she walked in the door and realized the boy had escaped, she knew she was screwed and called her attorney.
But what did she tell him though. It obviously couldn’t have been the truth.
“Hi, Mr. Attorney Man I need to engage your services because I tortured a kid and sent him to the hospital!”
I wonder what she could have possibly been saying to her attorney. Unless he knew what was going on I don’t see how she felt he would help.
100 percent. There was no driving around to find him this time.
@@shilohivy4590 She did go looking for him though. From reviewing the timeline, it appears there was about a 15 minute window between when R was safely at the neighbor’s house and when Hildebrandt discovered he was missing. She called Ruby then immediately set out to find him but by then the police were out in force. The cop asked her what she was doing, she said I’m looking for a boy. Which was exactly the wrong thing to say at that moment, because she effectively had outed herself.
That’s when she scurried home and got the array on the phone who by the way wasn’t even a Criminal Defense atty.
There should be a law where people who harm kids should not see day light for the rest of their life. How dare they do this to their kids.
Single woman with a 10,000 square foot house and a safe room..wonder how many more were tortured in those cold-looking rooms..
There's interviews of past "patients" of Jodi's, for example on mirmon stories podcast. She has been doing horrific stuff for a long while, but this is beyond horrific.
If you see pictures of that child's wrist and ankles... She is a monster.
They mixed honey & cayenne pepper and poured it on his wounds. Then covered it in gauze and taped it up.
How to you access the uncensored pictures?
Yeah I saw them 2.. horrible
Sage, they showed the pictures on the hour-long 20/20 episode
@@sagejohnson4799 i saw them on Reddit
The big empty house is so creepy
It reminds me of the backrooms or Heaven from GTA San Andreas
First it's not a house but a mansion. Like a boat , yacht, luxurious vessel. It's befitting a high profile individuals like professional athletes and recording artists and performers like actors.
@@user-er3ri6sc3j You’re such a tool 😂
@@user-er3ri6sc3jig jody could afford that...cause of her career as doctor
I thought so too. The house is weirdly empty. It doesn't look like a home..
i hope they get to understand and feel what's it like to be locked in a place where they cant get out.
They never will know because prison convicts aren’t treated the way Ruby treated her own children. They are never denied food and water, they are never held underwater and denied air…
You know, this is no surprise, these Mormons have been acting like this for YEARS. Glad one of them was caught and punished, let all those other LDS know it's not okay.
Your not being respectful to other religions.
I am not an attorney but separation of church and state. Personal beliefs differ from lawful statutes.
Was Jodi Hildebrandt a cult leader?
LDS abusive CULTure & Crimes finally exposed!
It is never ok to hurt our dear chrildren
they could smell the flesh?!?!?!? these ladies need to rot in jail i actually hope other inmates know what they did and punish them
I'm all for an eye for an eye on this one. Actually, make it 10x worse because those were little innocent poor kids that these monsters were supposed to protect.
@@kokoskokso for real those poor kids will struggle trusting any adult for a long time because of their own mother shes satan
They won’t
Its indescribable that’s for sure, how much hate I feel for Ruby and Jodi
Why is no one mentioning the honey/cayenne mixture used on the wounds? This is an additional level of torture!
how so?
@@EmM-ko7muhoney attracts bugs/pests and pepper stings on an open wound.
I have ! The Cayenne pepper alone burns & inflames the wounds even more, causing intense pain 😢
It's already been mentioned many times in other videos.
Cayenne pepper is also used to stop bleeding. It’s extremely painful but effective
Sick Sick Sick I am so disgusted by these two women. Kevin Franke needs to be held accountable for the abuse he did before this. he neglected his kids and its gross too.
I think they divorced bc of how nutty she is.. he wasn't seeing the children.
I think there's nothing really to charge him with though, whatever Kevin did early on aside, the women played insane mind games with him and drove him out of the home and away from the family. He was a mental mess thanks to them. Other men have confirmed Jodi doing the same things to their families, she had a pattern of splitting the husband and wife apart, breaking down the husband, isolating him and driving him away from the home and family. Meanwhile she would be super chummy with the wife.
@@dnlhrrng do you think she was lesbian , I'm sure those were not the only kids in that safe
@@Jessicagolden1601 She definitely may have been closeted. She also seemed to have a pattern of especially being attracted to women with power, fame, or high-level connections.
The gentleman who called the police, and the lady who comforted RF with food, water, and compassion, made me cry with their innate sense of protection over this child.
Same for the first-responders who cared for EF. They showed such patience and understanding at how completely frozen with fear and distrust that little girl was feeling.
The Franke children have a long road of healing ahead. Hopefully, they won’t be further mistreated by the people entrusted to care for them after they were removed from their parents, the way the Turpin children were after they were “rescued”.
That man was the perfect combo of solace and strength which is exactly what that poor kid needed. Sometimes the stars do align.
I pray for peace for that couple and those first responders - the children suffered the most of course, but all the rescuers are seeing the horror up close and in person.
❤
That man is an angel. Not afraid of getting involved like so many.
I think Ruby and Jodi were lovers! Absolutely disgusting what they did to these precious children!! 😡😡
Evil person needs 40 years to sit in jail
Maybe 50-60?
LIFE with zero chance of parole, end of story
Mother, too
Jodi’s evil. To me, there should never be a question of parole. The evidence shows that Jodi and Ruby both pre-meditatively tortured those kids by severe beatings, malnourishment, and dehydration, as well as subjecting them to gaslighting and psychological trauma. Those kids are lucky to be alive. If this foul treatment had continued, at least one of them, perhaps all of those kids, would certainly have died. From reports I’ve heard, some coming from her own relatives, Jodi has been playing these physically and psychologically abusive “games” for decades. Jodi should never see the light of day again, and neither Ruby nor Kevin should be allowed custody of those kids. All of the Franke children deserve a new, safe home after what they’ve been through.
LIFE.
Russell is so brave. I’m amazed he and the little girl survived. I truly hope all the children come through this, somehow. I’m appalled Kevin wasn’t charged, too.
Bless those children. That brave boy. Sending lots of strength.
she lied to the police officers about the torture room saying she didn’t have the code to get in, and she hadn’t been in there in years. They found all the handcuffs and ropes in that room. The are evil, sick psychopaths and should serve 30 years. They should have been charged with attempted murder ! It is a miracle they survived. If they would have gone to AZ those kids wouldn’t have survived
😅😅😅9😊😊
😅😅😅9😊😊is 😅😊😊
I think the safe room was empty because they were already packing up for the planned move to Arizona. The whole house looks basically packed up except for big furniture items and a painting. I think they made a big push to be ready to roll as soon as they had a new property because Russell had already made one escape, which terrified them, per Ruby's journal.
Where'd you read that? She hadn't even bought another house yet. She'd just started looking.
I realize she hadn't bought yet. I don't remember where, but there was a real urgency and something about Jodi not minding anymore even if the new property had saguaros. I wondered why saguaros were an issue.@@girlygal098
Yes, I realize Jodi didn't have a new property yet. I don't know what site had this, but it said there was now a real urgency and Jodi no longer even cared if the new property had saguaros. I wondered what was the issue with saguaros.@@girlygal098
The journal wrote about needing a place with a larger acreage so they could do an "Intervention "... I dread to think what Jodie and Rudy were planning
Yes. One of the properties had 500 acres. By the end of the journal Ruby said Jodi had sent her a text that she had a property. Then there is an entry about Ruby and Pam moving 20 boxes into storage, so I'm guessing that was Ruby packing up. But Jodi would have been packing up simultaneously. Ruby reports that someone has given their 2-weeks notice. They were very close to getting out of Utah.@@AngelaH2222
I hope that Jodi is sued for compensation for the torture she put these kids through. That house is worth a lot of money, it should be sold and the money split between Jodi's victims (which could mean others, not just the Franke kids). Ruby and Kevin also deserve to be dragged through a civil suit for compensation, as well.
It’s possible it’s not actually her own hime, but ine she has blagged / scammed off some other family. Just a thought.
Jodi did that to a lot of clients, pitching the wife against the husband. I've seen an interview with one husband saying this was systematic, and he's lost his whole family due to the therapist that was supposed to help them in a marriage crisis. Lots of manipulating, blaming and shaming tactics.
She’s actually been ordered to pay compensation. The sale of that house will go to the kids hopefully.
The neighbour said on the 911 call that there had been issues before at Jodi Hildebrandt's home. Any idea what these previous concerns were?
I’ve been wondering that myself as well
CPS has received and "investigated" multiple reports by the grown-up kids and other concerned people but concluded each time that everything was nice and dandy. They need to be investigated too.
She was on the phone to her lawyer as soon as she noticed the little boy missing
You will never convince me the dad didn't know what was going on.
I dunno... Ruby was being very underhanded with him.
Allegedly the dad was guilt tripped into working on his "issues" to not affect the family and wasn't allowed to see the children for over 12 months. The two monsters were "caring" for the children in his absence.
edit: after learning more about the dad and his lack of concern I'm disgusted. He's not fit to be a father at all.
It’s obvious in the interview with Kevin that he did not give two sh-ts about the children.
@@EvonRomano-ge2og He wanted the two younger ones who were tortured. Ruby didn't want any more children after they had four. I think she's proved that.
@edmboi But as a father, how do you go 12 months without seeing your kids? He never even asked about them in the interview.
They could have locked her up years ago, when her niece was her victim……… The system failed .
I can’t believe the father is only concerned about his wife but not the kids like Wt🤬🤬🤬
Kevin Franky doesn't get a pass
What does Kevin have to do with Hildebrandt's personal gaol? Ruby Franke threw him out 13 months before Ruby and Jodi was arrested. He was a victim too but sexist like you want to blame men. Luckily, police are more objective and they found no wrongdoing by Kevin Franke which is why he was not charged. Get over it, otherwise, provide evidence not unfounded accusations.
@@KaiHuang-qo6tjwell, I’m a man and I agree he doesn’t get a pass. Just because they couldn’t find sufficient evidence to charge him doesn’t mean he’s clean. That spineless weak man allowed this to happen to his children. Keep in mind he tried to press charges on his own daughter because she turned evidence over to police. He’s a POS
and what exactly did he do? he wasn’t even remotely present for over a year before the arrest. obviously if he wasn’t gonna get a pass he would’ve been arrested already months ago. cmon now ma’am think before you speak.
Kevin was complicit when he was living in the same house. They were being abused then, too. On video. He participated in their abuse. After he left and had no contact, he could have fought for visitation, but he is a coward
At this point I have to agree but would like to hear his side
When asked why he wanted to be taken to the nearest police, he answered, "personal business". Clearly schooled that home life is "personal business" and not to be discussed with outsiders.
Small correction: The duct tape was not for shackling, it was to cover the wounds & hold the honey/cayenne "salve" in place. He was shackled with actual cuffs which he picked
Wow that’s almost worse
I'm all for an eye for an eye on this one. Actually, make it 10x worse because those were little innocent poor kids that these monsters were supposed to protect.
I wish the state prison could treat them as they did their children.
This hous is so depressing, it looks like a hospital. They are going down. I hope they both get at LEAST 50 years.
It’s as cold and dark as its owner.
It looks more like the prison block.
They won't get more than 30. There's a weird law in Utah I've heard
The way Jodie told the police when asked to open the safe door she replied “I havent opened that for years and I have lived here for 7yrs and not been in there” what she didnt realize is Rubys son had already told police he had been locked up in there and the police were collecting evidence, this woman is pure evil as who has a safe with a bed and toilet inside so she obviously from the beginning knew what she was using that room for, I am so glad she and Ruby are both locked up now themselves in a room the size of that safe, lets hope they are locked up for a very long time
Jodi’s description of the cell room to the police is suspicious that she might as well said it was her personal jail cell. She didn’t have the smarts to embarrassingly pretend to it was as a BDSM room, which would help explain the handcuffs and rope.
I honestly would love to meet the contractor who either installed a vault door on a small bathroom, or built a toilet inside a vault.
No one could mistake that for a saferoom. It's a jail cell.
my guess is a fellow Mormon contractor, fully aware of all practices done behind doors
@@janalyricbingo!

Yes
Now I know why they pleaded guilty, hoping the public did not find out how bad it really was
A bedroom without an appropriate window couldnt have been built to the appropriate building codes.
Specially not with a giant lock on the outside. That thing is in the garage because it has to sit right on the house foundation - the floors wouldn’t even support that door.
Thats not a bedroom. It is a basement bathroom. Look at the wet wall where the toilet is. The door is on a load bearing wall @eh1702
@@stubstunner It’s screamingly obviously not a bedroom, I thought this was obvious. This is a garage that the safe is in. It sits at ground level. I’m not sure what point you think you’re making.
What contractor would agree to make a room like this when it seems so apparent what it would be used for?
Knowing Jodi and Ruby, probably another mormon from their church.
Contractors all over the US build these all the time, this is a small one. Some have bunk beds, and fully functional small houses in them. Nothing is suspicious about building a safe room, with a Liberty Vault door and the number of other manufacturers that make safe room/vault doors for residential homes.
Safe room is not locked from the outside like that one is, bro.
@@1ACL it is literally what this door is designed to do, lock from the outside and inside. It’s a Liberty Vault Door, look at its uses. A vault door that doubles as… a safe room hence the internal lock that disables the external lock for… you got it, a safe room door. They are installed daily and Liberty is only one manufacturer of them, there is dozens of manufacturers of vault/safe room doors.
Contractors also build places that make guns and bombs too so I don't know what you're trying to say. They could of had 5 vault doors installed and the company that installed them would have a fun party to celebrate.
The house itself looks sinister! The years given to these evil women not enough!!
They destroyed these children. They have been traumatized for life!!
What other “things” happened At Jodi’s house that the neighbor was referring too?
I want to know, too.
They would force the children to do yard work with no food or water in the blistering heat. It concerned the neighbors quite a bit
CPS has received and "investigated" multiple reports by the grown-up kids and other concerned people but concluded each time that everything was nice and dandy. They need to be investigated too.
She also lied about having access to the vault, i thought. She made a big deal saying it wasnt on the top of her list to have it opened 😅
it looks like solitary confinement that’s used to punish the worst of adult offenders
It’s shocking that this was considered normal for them. They honestly thought they were doing nothing wrong, I’m just glad the young boy made it to the neighbor’s house.
All religions are bad, but that one... it's awful.
The f act that she had do nany RUclips followers is bizarre
I'm glad he didn't get discouraged when no one answered at the first house he went to.
@@ericrivera8410 Many of them reported her to the police and CPS!!!!
No, they knew they were wrong. That is why they were moving to an isolated ranch with no neighbors next door.
That room gives me all sorts of panic attacks.
The fridge and cabinets is mental torcher. Thinking something is in the fridge or cabinets to eat. Was there running water or did she like to shut it off while kids was in there
Oh man... it just gets worse.
I'm all for an eye for an eye on this one. Actually, make it 10x worse because those were little innocent poor kids that these monsters were supposed to protect.
So much for jodi claiming that she hasn't been in that panic room for 6 years. I knew she was lying
While Jodi was being questioned during her home search . . she told the detectives she hadn't used the safe room in 6 years since the home was built. She claimed she did not even recall the combination to open it.
We this video is evidence that she lied on video no less didnt even hesitate. What a truly evil person she is
You couldn’t pay me to live there
I don’t know if you needed a combination to open the door from the outside. If one was needed, how did the officer open the door?
@@seattlewa8500 he put the code in toy see him do it before he turns the handle
We must always be aware that children are always vulnerable. We have to be vigilant
That doesn't look like a HOUSE but more like a high security prison!!!!!
No one would never want to live in that house,
The fact the children had the fortitude to survive what happened to them is the only balm on my soul from the whole situation. They are strong and I hope they are surrounded in everything that was denied them, not the least of which is kindness, love, and hot choccys.
Reportedly they have gained weight. I just hope the foster system lands them safely.
@@themudpit621I wonder if eventually an older sibling or aunt of these kids might get custody eventually? As long as they keep the kids from dear old dad.
Parts of the house were mostly empty because Jodi and Ruby had been packing things up in preparation to move to remote Arizona. It’s explained in Ruby’s journal.
The main thing NOW I think most want to know is how life is for them NOW. We've had reports like this so many times but I want to know how things are NOW, present day situation.
The children.
they're probably not being talked about because they're children.@@niania7022
This was like a jail. How is it to keep someone safe if it requires another person to let them out. If they lock them in there it's not a safe room for her to hide out, it's for her to put someone in.
well, with respect, the lives of the victims going forwaard are none of our business. However I understand your concern. All four of the minor Franke children are in foster care, they have gained weight and are interacting with the people in their lives. Reportedly they are 'light years better' than they were, but still, naturally, not great. Hope that helps.
They won’t say that’ll be up to the kids if they decide to give an update
Dont buy Ruby's soapbox speech at her sentencing. 60 years. No more, no less.
Unfortunately, the most she’ll get is 30 years.
@@idahardy4052 darn. I thought they pleaded guilty to 4 count 1-15 years consecutive, no?
@@bixbysnyder-00 They did.
@@galeabernathy3921 Yeah I looked into it, though a 60 year sentence would be the maximum on 4 consecutive counts, Utah law limits the maximum sentence in cases like these to 30 years :( Seems the law needs to be changed.
Looks like some kind of money laundering with that big empty mansion. Wonder how many of those are in the neighborhood.
the caller says "...we know there has been problems at that house (Jodi's house). What were the previous problems?
We all want to know…
The eldest daughter said she tried to contact police several times in past years but they didn’t investigate
Because Jody was protected by the Mormón church, it probably still under there protection
CPS has received and "investigated" multiple reports by the grown-up kids and other concerned people but concluded each time that everything was nice and dandy. They need to be investigated too.
Is torture not a crime in Utah? How did she only get child abuse charges?
If you listen to the part where the Police Officer ask's her for the code to get into that safe room, Jodi panic's & tells the officer she doesn't have the code because she hasn't used it in 6 years! She said, she would have to call somebody to get the code to unlock it! So, she lied to the officer because she hid the evidence in there & she thought he'd never be able to go in there! Someone else said she knew she would be in trouble as soon as she realized the boy was gone!
I'm so happy the little boy was brave enough to escape & find help! I don't think he would have survived much longer! Then, I heard that Jodi & Ruby were looking for land in the desert to buy. Were they going to bury the children in the desert? Jodi knew she was slowly killing those children... how Ruby went along with all of it is beyond comprehension! I really hope these women serve the full 60 years for what they have done to those children!
I’m curious what the neighbor meant on the 911 call when he said “we know there’s been problems at this house” (referring to Jodi’s house). Has anyone done record requests to see if there were other people calling in reports about thjngs going on there?
Father of rhose children should be held accountable.
The children's services who previously said everything was just fine n dandy when the adult children complained need to be made accountable. !!!!!
I’ll never forget the phone call that older gentleman made to 911 on that poor boy. The tears he held back: I broke. When the EMS worker began to cry: I broke. I believe the entire world broke as well. However, it was the bruised and battered boy who hadn’t broke. He saved the day & started the healing process for his family, for the countless other victims, for the world and I pray, for himself. I’ll always believe him to be a hero.
Zero suppiles in a safe room? No food, extra toilet paper, just rope and cuffs. That was no safe room, that was a jail cell 😢
How could you? Why would you treat your children this way. She is a horrible person. I hope the judge puts her away for a long time.
It should have been called Disconnections.
Those women were thankfully turned into the system of CorreXions
Check out the list of celebrities that got "care" from Jodi when she worked at the Cirque Lodge rehab facility it's crazy🤯
When will the board make their decision on sentencing?
House is like an inescapable prison.
I haven’t seen any one address the statement the 911 caller made, that there had been “problems with this neighbor…” (something like that). Also, did anyone catch Jodi’s lawyer say something to the effect that she lied, when she was on the phone with him?
The neighbour clearly said there were problems at that house.. I wonder what happened??
The real hero is the neighbor who saved that poor kid and call 911 immediately
That man is a true PATRIOT
I felt ill when i seen the way that fridge was opened . It was like they where scared at what could be in there x
The pictures of how he was found…I have no words
How did the husband not know what was going on...aint no F***kin way
This would also make sense as a “panic room” or whatever they call it where tou could hide in case of home invasion till police arrives but again door is opened from outside so clearly not… only reason someone would make a living space that cant be opened from inside but only from the outside is to trap someone in for long periods of time
The room was originally a vault with a Safe door. Naturally it would be refered to as a "safe room' in the house, (A place to lock up valuables) but not to be confused with a "Safe-room' as one might think of in a case of emergency. Sadly, rather than being used for its natural purpose as a vault with a Safe door, it was re-fitted as a jail-type room, meant for long-term occupancy. Instead of locking up valuables..it was used to lock up children. Children ARE more valuable than anything else, but that was NOT the 'valuables' that room was originally intended for. It's poetic justice that Jody and Franke are now locked in such a room! For many..many more years hopefully!
11:08 I'm thinking she didn't get rid of evidence in the vault/cell before the cops arrived for one simple reason: she thought she'd have time to get rid of it later.
I mean, look at how she reacts to the cops yanking her outside and beginning the search of her property. "Woah woah woah!" "Do you have a warrant?" She thought both she and the vault/cell were untouchable without a warrant or some other court process first. She thought she'd have time to dispose of the problem items later. She thought she'd be able to, for lack of a better term, 'order' the cops away until they got approval from a higher authority than her. And if they couldn't get into her house, then the evidence would be hers to tamper with, destroy, or dispose of as she saw fit. The raid and the arrest caught her completely off-guard.
Interesting information. Thanks for the update and insights.
So proud of that little boy for being brave enough to go to the neighbour's house so proud of him
I understand more why they accepted a deal and not be in trial, if a jury would have seen all this…. These women are MAD ! A vault ?????????
Your doomsday prep safe room is going to be hidden behind a bookshelf, not have a giant “LOOK AT ME!” vault door on it.
I bet the original owner used it as a gun/ammunition safe. She had it converted to something unimaginable to think about for her twisted, sociopathic inner drives.
I don’t think they thought the “jail/vault” room was enough torture for the children. It might have been used at first but R was left outside in August heat. Plus he ran away once before.
The saddest observation: to my knowledge, there have been no recorded/written moments of RIBY EVER asking/inquiring/showing any concern about the condition of her children....I hope I NEVER understand this style of Motherhood or "faith"......Thankful for the children they no longer need to endure this type of treatment.
Every time I hear the 911 call or the people comforting "E" in the closet, I cry. I'm a True Crime buff, but this case is impossible for anyone to follow without personally feeling the agony of the children.
I hope all of the kids are given the chance to tell their stories. I hope they get all the help they need and know that what they went through isn’t normal.
Ruby, should do the most time. Those were her kids. She had more of a responsibility than Jody to take care of them. Ruby will probably only do four years and Jodi will do 10 or 15.
If that's true, it's a disgrace. Both of them if they do let them out need protection orders that they have to stay away from children.
they should both get the max. read her journal entries she got off on the power trip
Ya it’s funny to me she blames Jodi…. How would that arrogant pos have reacted if one of her kids got in trouble and blamed someone else for their choices? She woulda flipped!!!! No accountability ms Ruby!!!!!
The investigators should have been wearing gloves and taking fingerprints in the safe room.
Those poor,poor children 😢. Who does that to kids 😱🤬😡
religious people, crazy people, and psychopaths.
Poor russel had the smallest window of time to escape 😢. But he did it!!!
Professional investigation here, love how he instantly goes through the drawers to show no food
Building a jail cell for your children is wild 🤦🏾♂️
This is just so sick...
