In today's episode, we are diving into some of the most shocking Mormon-themed entries from Ruby Franke's journal with the well-known true crime and news TikTokker, Julie Louise. Gerardo and John will break down the journal's themes, looking at how they tie back to Latter-day Saint doctrine and practices. Julie knows the Franke/Hildebrandt story inside out, but is a never-Mormon. Combined we hope to provide top-notch commentary and insights as we walk through these pages together.
