A “panic room” was allegedly discovered by police when they searched Jodi Hildebrandt’s home after the son of her business partner, Ruby Franke, escaped from the home in August. Authorities allege Franke’s 12-year-old son and one of her daughters were held captive in the remote Utah home, tied up with duct tape, and starved until the boy escaped. The Law&Crime Network’s Sierra Gillespie breaks down the disturbing discovery from outside Hildebrandt’s home.

Just for us to know that youtube family chanels are delusional.
The house from the outside looks so CGI.
Horrible
That locked panic room was never opened or checked. What if a child is still in there
Jesse Hildebrandt said in her interview that she was locked in a room with no windows, and isolated in there. I have a feeling that it was the panic room.
A panic room for doomsday.
I was watching Law & Crime episode about the day 2of her daughters were at a friends house “cleaning “. Your network cut out of ending of this. I had no idea about any of this til an hour ago while going through different websites.
I feel like I knew something was wrong with the girls. They wouldn’t speak at all. The friends husband stayed behind while she was detained by police and placed in his car. Not allowed to speak with husband or anyone else. I’m glad I found your website.,at least now I will follow this story.
I feel so bad for the little boy! I think Ruby and Jodi made up those lies saying he shouldn't be with other children just as a last-ditch effort to punish him for getting his and his sisters abusers arrested!
so theses 2 women were child abusers. but seeing where the house is and an expensive home it is perfectly reasonable to have a safe room/panic room if used as one if they were jailing the kids there is the only charge no one should be surprised to have one in a remote desert area or in tornado ally or hurricane areas there storm shelters .
Ruby lucked out and has a judge that will let them off or reduce the recommended sentence.
So the little boy was in the safe room? How did he get out? That’s why they built this safe room? Or what is the safe room about? I don’t understand why it’s bad to have a safe room? I’m assuming because they locked the kids in there? And that’s why this video was made? Or what is the video saying by pointing out the safe room? I thought a lot of people have safe rooms? I’m confused on why this video is pointing out the safe room sorry…
Life with no parole for both parents. Thanks.
Insanity
In the very short clip of Ruby and Jody, Jody is saying “We want our kids to be happy, and then something about “distortion” and “we put them into a controlling dynamic.” I bet the “controlling” involves tape and rope, etc, or starvation.
Sorry lady. I want my kids happy. And my children are responsible. Not starved with open wounds
I call BS. It's clear Jodi and Ruby are abusive and should be put away. My question is what Man/husband/father leaves his 6 kids for one year without any contact based on the advice of a therapist? Something isn't adding up.
I wonder what else these psychos have done that they weren't caught doing 😡😡😡
So sad, how could you do that to any churcho
What is a panic room?
Glad they was able to escape and I hope they are okey now and safe❤
Please stop calling it a panic room. It’s clearly a dungeon.
How does this even begin to happen?! Wtf?! Sick sick sick!
looks like a torture prison,,,,,,,,,,,,not a house .
Glad he escaped before he died
I really really really wish news outlets would STOP showing this child’s face.
I hope he never has to be near them again 🙏🏻
I'd like to know the distance from Jodi's house and the neighbor's house where Russell went to for help. It looks like a desert, and might've taken time or gone a distance to get there.
I always hated 8 passigers
Pure evil
So, Jodi has a torture chamber in her house. What a surprise.. I bet the panic room is sound proof.
Too bad she can’t get treated just as she has been treating them! No food or water for as long as she withheld the same for her children! She is so disgusting! Put her in that “ panic room “ and just forget she is there! 😡😡😡😡😡
