Summary

This episode contains discussion of child abuse. In part 1, Ruby Franke went all-in on Jodi Hildebrandt, to the point of inviting her to move into the house. That’s when everything truly crossed the line. Kevin is pushed out. Chad and Shari are cut off. The younger kids disappear from view. And people around them can tell something is wrong, but no one can get close enough to prove it. Until August 2023, when a 12 year old boy gets out and asks a neighbor for help, setting off a truly unbelievable series of events, including a frantic search, a horrifying discovery inside Jodi’s home, and Ruby’s own words documenting what she believed she was doing. This is the ending everyone heard about... but the details are worse than you think.
