Out of all the documentaries I've seen so far on this case, including the most recent one playing on HBO Max and The Discovery channel, this one has the least amount of talking heads that are irrelevant to the case, less repetitiveness, getting right to the point.
I would really like to see some jailhouse interviews and for this woman to explain exactly what the thinking was and how far the rabbit hole she went down and why.
What's also interesting is that Hildebrandt is giving relationship advice, despite the fact that she's divorced and estranged from her own family - I would love to hear from her children and her ex-husband.
While she was busy doing unethical things like outing someone who was gay right in a counseling session and revealing confidential client information in the church, probably - who knows? - of a sexual nature, this evil woman is definitely giving off gay vibes herself and that she hates men and was interested in isolating Ruby Franke from her family for herself.
Ruby, no innocent, babe in the woods was already showing that she's perfectly capable of abusing her children; and, of course someone, like Hildebrand would see that in her and would use that tendency to her advantage. She preyed upon a predator.
The husband whom everyone is so willing to say on camera is so innocent was also no innocent babe in the woods. He's bragging about being a professor in a college BYU know less (eyeroll here - is that even an accredited college?), he doesn't even know what the word "emaciated" means and made zero attempt to talk to his children via any form of social media so readily available to all of us - not one FaceTime call, not one text message, nothing nada.
Goes to show that happy shiny people aren't what they seem at all.
Not to mention being so weak that a woman came into his house and tossed him out and he just left.
Child neglect at the very least?
Anyway, awful, awful people who really failed those beautiful children. She could have kept her little moneymaker going for longer, putting away money for those children's future education and kept her family intact - but this woman already had some sociopathic narcissistic tendencies and religion and false beliefs just brought out what was already there.
This documentary was worth the watch because it just gets right to the point and didn't try to drag everything out over multiple episodes.
