Hey, true crime besties. Welcome back to an all new episode of Serialistly. Hey everybody, welcome back to an all new episode of Serialistly with me, Annie Elise. Now today's case is one that I wasn't really planning to cover, but a lot of you guys have been sending me emails and sending me requests asking me for my take on what's going on in this situation because we dove a lot into this case over the last couple of years and it's the case of Ruby Franke and Jodi Hildebrandt. Now, if you're not fully caught up on it, don't worry. I'm going to give a quick overview of what's going on with that case. But the reason why so many people are reaching out and asking me to talk about the updates, talk about some of the new revelations that have come out and share my thoughts on certain things is because Ruby's daughter, Sherry Frankie, has come out recently with her own book, which I just have to say, It's truly incredible.
The book is called The House of My Mother, A Daughter's Quest for Freedom. And I mean, I just gotta say, the amount of bravery that it would take to write something like this, and I would hope and imagine the healing element as well, it is truly incredible. So a lot of people are asking for my take on her book because in this book, she... puts a lot of the puzzle pieces together about the dynamic between Ruby and Jodi. She also shares her firsthand account of what went down in that house, what it was like living with Ruby Franke. And so not only are we going to just do a quick recap for those of you who don't know or are unfamiliar with this situation in this case, But then I'm going to go through the biggest key takeaways in this book. And there are quite a few because I went through the entire book. And like I said, it's a very, very powerful and empowering book. So I would suggest all of you, if you haven't picked up a copy or downloaded the audiobook, definitely do so.
And not only these key takeaways, but she really starts to shed light on the true relationship between Ruby and Jodi. And that, as a lot of people suspected, it seems as though they were romantically and physically involved with each other. So we are going to go through everything. I mean, all of it. But let me give you guys kind of just the brief rundown of this. And then, as I mentioned, I've covered this case extensively for the last few years. So you can certainly go back and check out my deep dives. And I will link all of that in the show notes.
She was the Utah mommy influencer known for her no-nonsense parenting. I'm only going to say it one more time, and then you're going to lose the privilege to eat dinner. Ruby Frankie sharing her life at home with six children to her more than two million followers on YouTube. Today we are starting off our day the way we do every day. But Ruby's social media empire quickly unraveled when her youngest son escaped in August of 2023. This chilling 911 call leading to her arrest.
I just had a 12 year old boy show up here at my front door asking for help and he's a said he had just came from a neighbor's house. He's emaciated, he's got tape around his legs.
Now, for the first time, Ruby's eldest daughter, Sherry, is telling her story in a new memoir, The House of My Mother.
Sometimes I'll see myself in the mirror and I'm like, oh my gosh, I look like her, or I sound like her. but I don't want to be anything like her.
Sherry, who says she was cut off from the family when she left for college, detailing abuse she says her mother inflicted throughout her childhood.
