  • ‘He’s a Wonderful Man’ — Shari Franke DEFENDS Dad Kevin After Ruby Franke Nightmare | Jodi Hildebrandt
    Dec 30 2025
    A surprise wedding photo, a fierce daughter’s defense, and a question that still makes people angry: how do you forgive the parent who didn’t protect you? After Kevin Franke quietly remarried—and Shari publicly celebrated him as “a wonderful man,” warning critics to back off—this episode revisits the Ruby Franke/Jodi Hildebrandt case through the uncomfortable aftermath, when the headlines fade and a family has to decide what healing actually looks like. Using Shari’s memoir The House of My Mother, we trace the long, quiet power imbalance that shaped Kevin’s role, how Jodi’s influence isolated and dismantled him, and why Shari’s eventual forgiveness doesn’t erase the harm—but reveals what may have happened behind closed doors: amends, rebuilding, and a new family dynamic the public can’t fully see.

  • It Gets Worse... Ashlee Buzzard's Added Charges and Arraignment | Melodee Buzzard
    Dec 28 2025
    Friday’s arraignment revealed just how severe prosecutors believe this case is: Ashlee Buzzard is now formally charged with murdering her 9-year-old daughter, Melodee—along with enhancements alleging “exceptional cruelty,” planning, and the chilling accusation of “lying in wait.” In this episode, we break down what those legal terms actually mean, walk through the updated timeline—from the wig-wearing road trip across multiple states to the discovery of Melodee’s remains in remote Utah—and explain the forensic links that investigators say tied the scene back to the Buzzard home. We also cover what happened inside the courtroom, why prosecutors say they’re seeking life without parole (not the death penalty), the temporary gag order restricting the sheriff’s public comments, and the raw, heartbreaking words from Melodee’s grandmother as the family faces the unthinkable.
