It’s the middle of the desert and the pavement is scorching hot. If you dare to step barefoot on it, it’s the equivalent of sticking your foot on a cast iron pan on high heat. Enough to cause instant blisters.

But the 12 year old boy has no choice. He has once more chance to escape and he needs to make it to a neighbors house for safety. He crawls out the window and starts pacing. If nobody is home - that could be the end. There are only 3 homes in this part of the desert.

The 1 he’s been locked up and tortured in.

The 1 where nobody would answer the door.

And 1 last chance.

If he can make it there before they catch him. Or if the duct tape around his ankles don’t melt into him.

August 30, 2023 - this little boys escape will kick start an investigation into one of the biggest family vloggers on YouTube.

This is the case of Ruby Franke - the woman who has been vlogging herself abusing her 6 kids for years, and has locked away the two youngest in a windowless safe room - to be tortured.

Police find 10 year old Victoria’s body completely dismembered. Her arms, legs, and organs were severed off and the rest of her body was lit on fire.

When they bring in Victoria’s mother, Michelle, the pieces of the puzzle start coming together.

Michelle states that her boyfriend, Fabian, had been sexually assaulting Victoria.

Michelle states that she liked to watch. But that night in particular it got a bit too wild. Fabian accidentally chokes and kills Victoria during the assault.

Michelle states she sat there and watched Fabian and his cousin dismember Victoria.

Then she went to the kitchen to prepare dinner and soon after had sex with Fabian. This thing is normal for her. She had been going online to find predators to come assault her kid so this is what she wanted.

That’s what Michelle tells the authorities but two years later - she takes it all back. She says it was a false confession.

But that doesn’t explain - what happened to Victoria?

Is there any truth at all to this false confession?

And who is the unknown male DNA they found on Victoria?

A woman walks into the Pavena Foundation.

“You have to help me!! Please!”

She frantically tells the nonprofit that she has just escaped from the country of Georgia. She had been held hostage by an organized crime group that forced her to do unspeakable things. Not only that - there are 100 more girls trapped there.

“What did they make you do?”

They wanted her eggs. Her human eggs. She says the 100 girls were forced to take hormone injections, forcibly go through the IVF process, so the traffickers could take and harvest their eggs.

This is the case - of the human egg farm.

The conspiracies and questions of - who are they selling the eggs to? Where are they getting the victims? Is there a larger industry that we don’t know about? Is this the only organization doing this?

And… is this is the start of the real life “Handmaid’s Tale?”
