The Rise and Fall of Ruby Franke
Ruby Franke, a Utah mom turned YouTube “momfluencer” who amassed 2.6 million subscribers, was known for her strict disciplinarian parenting style. But authorities now say that her "tough love" was actually child abuse. Ruby Franke's son escaped from the Utah home of her self-help business partner, Jodi Hildebrandt. The boy was reportedly starved and tied up with duct tape along with his 10 year old sister. As law enforcement dug deeper, they uncovered injuries, torture, and emotional harm inflicted by both Franke and Hildebrandt.

Murder on My Mind
Jamell Demons, also known as the up-and-coming rapper YNW Melly, gained notoriety in the hip hop world for both his shocking lyrics and his criminal exploits. Although he has never denied his past convictions, Melly adamantly denies any involvement in the gruesome murders of two of his best friends in 2018.
‘Murder on My Mind' features Law&Crime’s extensive coverage of the Florida death penalty case, explores the circumstances leading up to the murders of two young men, and the mistrials of the man accused of killing them. YNW Melly's first first and second trials both ended in hung juries, and as of April 2024, his trial is paused and awaiting adjudication of the inclusion of digital evidence: a 20-minute documentary about his own life, which prosecutors say is evidence he was at the scene of the crime in question. Listen to the first four episodes of Murder on My Mind: The YNW Melly Double Murder Trial ad-free on Wondery+ on April 16th, 2024.
