It is believed that Franke’s son and her young daughter were being held in this safe room when they were tied up.

  1. What tops this travesty even more is that these previous children thought they were going to be arrested and go to jail. Their captors wanted them to fear any source of outside help. They were monsters. And I don’t believe the dad wasn’t culpable in this. If nothing else he was extremely negligent

  2. I live in tornado alley. Safe rooms are NOT rooms with a vault door.
    The lock is on the outside. This isn't someone planning to be there for a while, because if someone put themselves in there they wouldn't get out
    I'm missing the logic connecting safe rooms and HH holmes killing style.

  3. All I see is a whole lot of finger prints those detectives are putting on every nook and cranny of that vault. Great work to the brave boy who came forward and the sweet couple that heard him 💓

  4. Not saying it's not true but I'd love to see all the evidence because y'all work for known criminals. ABC, CBS, NPR, NCB, MSNBC, and The Hill, CFR, DEA, CIA, DOJ, and OATHBREAKING ENFORCERS AND JUDGES THAT WORK FOR A FOREIGN GOVERNMENT – AKA THE BRITISH CROWN AND THE VATICAN since the creation and signing of THR FEDERAL RESERVE ACT OF 1913 – working under Admiralty/Maritime Courts of Legalese opposed the TRUE LAW, GOD'S LAW, THE CONSTITUTION, Common Law, and Natural Law.

  5. This so painful 💔 😭 and so very very very sad for this kids why will you be so evil and monster to ur own kids I can't understand am si angry .this is never ever going to go from the minds of this kids for life 😢😢😢

  6. 10:53 No mystery about the rope.

    Likely, Jodi only had time to close and lock the vault door—clearly knowing that it might contain incriminating evidence and thinking this would prevent the police finding it. This is supported by her claiming that the safe had not been used in years, that she had forgotten the combination, lost any physical record of it and didn’t know who to call to obtain it.

    Anticipating the police, she grabbed the rope from a visible location (possibly E’s room) dashed to vault, tossed it into a drawer and locked vault. The rope, unlike weights, the duct tape, and the honey/pepper salve, would raise immediate suspicions given E’s injuries.
