Ruby Franke's Youngest Children Speak Out in BOMBSHELL Statements

In this episode, we break down the powerful and heartbreaking new statements from Russell and Eve Franke, the two youngest survivors of the Franke family abuse case, as they speak directly to lawmakers about the Utah bill they believe could have saved them. We revisit the rise and fall of the 8 Passengers family, the disturbing influence of Jodi Hildebrandt, and the horrifying abuse that was happening behind closed doors long before Russell made his desperate escape on August 30, 2023. But this story is no longer just about what happened — it’s about what failed. Eve reveals that police and child welfare workers were at the door for months but legally couldn’t get inside, and both children are now pleading for passage of the Gavin Peterson Bill, a measure meant to close the gap that can leave abused children trapped with no way out. Their words are raw, direct, and devastating — and they force all of us to confront a painful question: why are children still being asked to save themselves? About Hidden True Crime What started as a simple conversation at their dinner table became a captivating podcast. Join the dynamic duo of Dr. John Matthias, a criminal psychologist, and Lauren Matthias, an investigative journalist, as they delve into the psychological facets of unthinkable crimes every week. Their unique perspectives and in-depth analysis offer a fresh take on true crime storytelling.
