Ruby Franke believed her children were possessed by demons | John & Jane Doe cases

The diaries of former mommy YouTuber Ruby Franke have been released and go into detail about how she abused her children.  Ruby believed they were possessed by demons and repeatedly wrote that her son and daughter were the “spawns of Satan."

In a July 2023 entry about her son, Ruby wrote: “I will not feed a demon.”  The children were found emaciated and injured in August 2023.  Ruby has since pleaded guilty to four counts of aggravated child abuse and will serve her sentence in a Utah prison.  She may face decades behind bars.

In this age of technology and DNA advancements, it is unbelievable that some unidentified John and Jane Doe cases have never gotten their names back.  We discuss two such cases in this episode.  In June 2020, the remains of a male and female were found in Pinos Altos, New Mexico.  A gun and suicide notes were found near their skeletonized remains.  

In August 2021 in Wadesboro, North Carolina, a barely clothed female was seen on a trail cam in the middle of the night, in the woods.  Her remains were found the following year and she remains unidentified as of the time of recording.  Could this Jane Doe be missing woman Amber Rae Johnston? 

In this episode of the True Crime Society Podcast, we discuss updates in the Ruby Franke child abuse case as well as some Jane and John Doe cases.
