E57 - Ruby Franke and Jodie Hildebrandt & The Ritz Theater

Haunt & Cold Podcast

We found it fitting to go back to our roots for this episode, April and Katie are back in the car and on the road! (well, parking lot) In this episode, April tells us the heartbreaking story of Ruby Franke's son escaping from Jodie Hildebrandt's home to save himself and his sister. The children were abused and malnourished by the hands of Jodie Hildebrandt under the guise of therapeutic treatment. When at home with their mother, Ruby Franke, the children saw similar abusive treatment. Now Franke and Hildebrandt have been charged and are on their way to sentencing! Katie then tells us the history and hauntings of the Ritz theater in Tooele, UT that was owned by the same owners for 8 decades until recently. But the theater continues to be haunted by it's guests awaiting the next show!

Buckle and listen up, We have loved creating this podcast even with its slow growth, panic writing notes, and technical difficulties. It's been an outlet for us for the past 2.5 years but it's time for us to move onto the next adventure. We hope you enjoyed listening! Until next time, MMKAY BYE!
