Episode 426: Ruby Franke Wrote "Abuse Diary" While Posting A “Keeping Kid Safe In Predatory Society” Podcast
It was the most viewed home on realtor websites for weeks. It’s a curious looking house.
As you swipe through the photos of the 15 foot tall ceilings, the grand glass windows, the $5M price tag starts to make sense.
But what is that? There is an entire concrete bunker like structure underneath the house with its very own panic room.
A bank vault door - leading to a room with a toilet and sink. To keep people out - and to keep people in.
This is the home that Ruby Franke & Jodi Hildebrandt tortured Ruby’s 2 youngest children in.
There are detailed diaries left behind by Ruby Franke describing how she tortured them with cactuses, pouring cayenne pepper and honey into their wounds, and all the unique punishments she came up with.
All the while posting podcast episodes - giving advice to other moms. How to be a perfect mom. Just like her.
