"Devil in the Family: The Fall of Ruby Franke" with Criminal Psychologist Dr. John Matthias
Ruby Franke's Youngest Child Breaks Her Silence
Amazing, insightful commentary delivered conversationally by a journalist and forensic psychologist couple from their family home. Wonderfully engaging & intimate. Always linking the discussion of the crime at hand to larger truths about the human condition. One of my absolute favorite crime series.
Your podcast effectively weaves a tapestry of facts, knowledge, instinct and research that not only applies to the cases being discussed, but provides an opportunity for the listeners to employ the strategies discussed and enrich their own relationships.
Podcast I didn’t know I needed: I’ve been an avid true crime podcast listener, always seeming as though I walked away missing something. This podcast fills that void. The deep psychological dive this couple takes is both needed in this world of true crime and much appreciated.
I am stunned by your competency- content and presentation- as a team.
You guys need more followers. I watched all the Daybell-Vallow episodes in one day. I have some of the same traits and mental health issues that Lori has. I don’t want to kill anybody, but you explained the problem. Thank you. I wish you were my mental health professional.
This is the best assessment, hands down, I have heard in years with regard to analysis of the criminal mind…thank you for having such integrity and for not talking down to your audience.
I looked forward to listening to your first podcast and thoroughly enjoyed it. Novel, unique, intelligent, insightful and even inspiring. Who would have thought I could listen to an episode about this case and walk away feeling inclined to be more grateful, grounded, mindful, and accepting of my humanity and mortality? Love both of you and can’t wait for the next one.
I listened to all the podcasts. Very valuable, interesting and intriguing information! I love the way John speaks and teaches. I love his references and stories. I LOVE how he explains Chad’s behaviors through psychology, referencing well respected clinical philosophies. John explains what I sensed about him…I plan to listen to these podcasts again because they are just plain educational! And very interesting. Looking forward to dinner next week!
I love hearing a point of view from someone who understands the mind of a criminal. Please put out more podcasts and consider doing one live. I have so many questions!
This is utterly brilliant. The best podcast I have ever heard. Ever.
The most important podcast I’ve ever heard. This has to be some of the most profound content in media today. A must listen for anyone trying to understand dysfunctional people around them.

My heart was racing. This gives a lot more context. Reading the transcript certainly helps but tone can be lost… they sound so young and sweet and goofy. I could feel their discomfort in being followed so closely but I also do not believe they thought they were in serious danger. Definitely heard the racking of the gun. Bridge guy’s stature & gait look exactly like Richard Allen. For me this video absolutely solidifies that the jury got it right.
So heartbreaking. Not sure why he didn’t get the death penalty for what he did to those sweet girls.
THIS IS HORRIFYING

Hard to believe she is allowed to defend herself, she’s making a mockery of the justice system. Quit giving her the attention she craves. Justice for all those beautiful souls and their families!
Good luck Lauren Matthias! You look stunning…. Be careful, I wouldn’t want Lori turning you to salt because you look better than her!!!!
Omg I saw her interview on dateline last week. She is nuts. Extreme sociopath, narcissism, not sure what else!

Menendez brothers case: DA asks court to withdraw resentencing motion, calls self-defense claims 'lies'
abcnews.go.com
LA County District Attorney Nathan Hochman said he's asking the court to withdraw the previous district attorney's motion for resentencing for Lyle and Erik Menendez.6 CommentsComment on Facebook
I find the fact that they went to prison, and not to a mental institution, pretty disgusting. They were TORTURED by that animal- no, by that MONSTER, all their lives. That they still had empathy, love and loyalty for each other, (to me) proves the boys weren’t evil monsters. Monsters don’t have empathy for anyone but maybe their extensions (golden child). They were also under 25, which is when CHILDREN are able to process long term consequences. They shouldn’t continue to be punished, under the false premise that they were NOT being abused. When new facts are revealed, that would have swayed the jury and sentencing judge, the case should be resentenced. At the absolute least, they should receive new trials, because people now corroborating their claims should mean something. I’m disgusted by this DA. I don’t trust people who sympathize with perpetrators; and mom & pop M were perps. Think about this? Who do you sympathize with? Why is that? It’s because you feel empathy for/identify with them. Next time you’re electing judges, DAs, senators/legislators etc. think about that and check out the ways they’ve voted, the laws and penalties they have passed/favored, the records on the cases they’ve prosecuted, the cases they’ve overcharged to force people to plead guilty, WHO they let off LIGHTLY and how they prosecute & sentence monsters. “Ye shall know them by their works” still rings true. Religious or not, that’s accurate.
I don’t care,they should spend the rest of their life’s in prison
free them... already. its been long enough.

Is it just 1.5 minutes long? I think I’m missing something.
She is making a mockery of our justice system. Stop giving her the attention she craves.
Is there somewhere to watch the full interview? I am sure there is much more to say. Hoping it would have been a lot longer interview. Such interesting content.
