How Jodi Hildebrandt's Arrival Led Ruby Franke to Go 'Off the Rails': 'Wolf in Sheep's Clothing'
A new four-part docuseries explores the abusive partnership between Ruby Franke and Jodi HildebrandtNEED TO KNOW A new four-part docuseries explores the abusive partnership between Ruby Franke and Jodi Hildebrandt The docuseries debuts Sept. 1 on Investigation Discovery and will stream on HBO Max Franke and Hildebrandt were sentenced to prison for four convictions of child abuse last yearA new docuseries delves into how a Mormon religious leader influenced a Utah mom whose seemingly wholesome life spiraled into a horrific case of child abuse carried out in the name of God. The series, Ruby & Jodi: A Cult of Sin and Influence, will explore the August 2023 arrest of Mormon family influencer Ruby Franke for felony child abuse and how the mother of six was led down a devious and abusive path by Jodi Hildebrandt, a woman Franke met through her local church who promised to help her become a better wife and mother. The four-part docuseries debuts Sept. 1 on Investigation Discovery and will also be available to stream on HBO Max. 'Over the course of four parts, Ruby & Jodi: A Cult of Sin and Influence offers extensive insight into Jodi Hildebrandt's rise to power within the Mormon community through her popular ConneXions program – and how that program led her to Franke and laid the foundation for the twisted bond they shared,' Investigation Discovery said in a statement provided to PEOPLE on Monday. 'Featuring extensive interviews with former clients, the docuseries underscores the extent of Hildebrandt's cult-like and manipulative tactics that devastated the lives of the individuals who entrusted her with their struggles in hopes of helping themselves and their marriages.' The network says that the docuseries includes exclusive new interviews with Hildebrandt's niece Jesse Hildebrandt, who PEOPLE previously reported had opened up about her own childhood abuse after her aunt was arrested. "This was a wolf in sheep's clothing," one interviewee says about Hildebrandt in the new ID trailer, released Monday. The series also includes an interview with Adam Steed, a former patient of Hildebrandt, who previously told PEOPLE that the religious leader who branded herself for a time as a 'sex therapist' had 'destroyed' his life through her teachings. Investigation Discovery said in its press release that the insight in the docuseries "underscores Hildebrandt's manipulative and dangerous tendencies and how when combined with Franke's strict family values, they created an environment rife with manipulation, control, and abuse.' Franke and Hildebrandt were both arrested in August 2023 and charged with six felony counts of child abuse after Franke's 12-year-old son had escaped Hildebrandt's home, where he was bound and starved, and made his way to a neighbor's house seeking help. The neighbor called 911, leading local police to then discover Franke's 9-year-old daughter being held captive in a similar situation. The women's arrests uncovered a pattern of abusive teaching by Hildebrandt, and confirmed growing suspicions of critics who long questioned Franke's strict parenting style on her popular 8 Passengers family vlogging page on YouTube. Both women were ultimately sentenced to prison on four convictions of child abuse, PEOPLE reported last year, and were sentenced to serve between four and 30 years in prison. Ruby & Jodi: A Cult of Sin and Influence debuts Sept. 1 on Investigation Discovery and will stream on HBO Max.

Guardians closer Emmanuel Clase placed on paid leave in connection with MLB sports betting investigation
One of the biggest chips on the MLB trade market is being placed on paid leave just days before the deadline. All-Star closer Emmanuel Clase was placed on non-disciplinary paid leave on Monday in connection with an MLB sports betting investigation, per ESPN's Jeff Passan. He will be on leave through Aug. 31, per The Athletic's Zack Meisel. The Guardians confirmed the news in a statement. The team was told that "no additional players or club personnel are expected to be impacted." The team added that it will not comment further on the situation and will allow MLB to carry out its investigation. Clase is the second Guardians pitcher to be placed on paid leave while MLB looks into this gambling matter. Starter Luis Ortiz was put on paid leave in early July after suspicious bets were reportedly placed based on his performance. Ortiz reportedly came under fire after two of his pitches were flagged for suspicious betting activity. An unusual amount of action was placed on Ortiz opening an inning by either throwing a ball or hitting a batter in two separate games. In both instances, Ortiz started those innings by throwing pitches nowhere near the strike zone. It's unclear what MLB found during its investigation that resulted in Clase being placed on leave as well. If Clase or Ortiz is found by MLB to have violated league rules, they could face a wide range of possible punishment. The league banned former infielder Tucupita Marcano for life in 2024 after he reportedly bet on his own team while injured. Other players who bet on baseball, but not on their own teams, were banned for a year. Under MLB rules, players are not allowed to bet on baseball or softball but can bet on other sports. The Guardians have not lived up to expectations this season. After winning the American League Central with a 92-69 record last season, the team sits at 52-53 entering play Monday. Clase — one of the game's best closers — pitched well this season, posting a 3.23 ERA and 24 saves over 47 1/3 innings. He was thought to be one of the premier names available at the trade deadline, meaning Monday's news significantly alters the landscape of the deadline as a whole.

Another Cleveland Guardians pitcher is on leave due to gambling investigation. This time, it's the All-Star closer
For the second time in less than a month, a high-profile pitcher for the Cleveland Guardians was placed on non-disciplinary leave in relation to a sports betting probe. The Guardians said Monday that Emmanuel Clase, the Guardians' All-Star closer who is one of baseball's best relievers, was placed on leave as part of Major League Baseball's ongoing gambling-related investigation. 'We have been informed that no additional players or Club personnel are expected to be impacted,' the team statement read. 'The Guardians are not permitted to comment further at this time and will respect the league's confidential investigative process as we continue to fully cooperate.' On July 3, Cleveland pitcher Luis Ortiz was placed on indefinite leave just hours before he was supposed to take the mound as the Guardians starting pitcher for their game against the Chicago Cubs. MLB said in a statement that Ortiz was being put on 'non-disciplinary leave through the end of the All-Star break' for the investigation. Ortiz has yet to pitch since being placed on leave. Multiple reports indicated that his suspension was due to a gambling probe. Clase is a three-time All-Star and has been one of the most feared closers in the game in recent seasons. While his production was down slightly this year, he still has 24 saves so far this season. He has a career 1.88 ERA and 182 career saves. 'Per an agreement with the MLBPA, Cleveland Guardians pitcher Emmanuel Clase has been placed on non-disciplinary paid leave through games on August 31st while MLB continues its sports betting investigation,' a statement from MLB read. 'We will not comment further until the investigation has been completed.' MLB has had to navigate turbulent waters over gambling in recent years. The sport was rocked by the high-profile scandal involving megastar Shohei Ohtani and his interpreter, Ippei Mizuhara. Mizuhara was sentenced to more than four years in prison earlier this year following revelations at the beginning of the 2024 season that he had stolen nearly $17 million from Ohtani to fuel a gambling addiction. Ohtani, the Japanese two-way player breaking new ground in the league, denied ever taking part in any gambling activities. Later in the 2024 season, the league banned San Diego Padres shortstop Tucupita Marcano for life after MLB determined he had been gambling on baseball. According to the investigation, Marcano placed 387 baseball bets, including 231 MLB-related ones, over two periods in 2022 and 2023 while he was a member of the Pittsburgh Pirates and while he was on the injured list. He gambled more than $150,000 on baseball, with $87,319 of that on MLB-related bets. The MLB investigation found that 25 of those bets included Pirates games while Marcano was assigned to the Major League club. The MLB probe found that 'almost all of Marcano's Pirates bets were on which club (the Pirates or their opponent) would win the game or whether there would be more or less than a certain number of runs scored in the game.' Earlier this year, the league fired Pat Hoberg, one of the sport's up-and-coming young umpires, for sharing gambling accounts with a friend who had bet on baseball. The league found no evidence that Hoberg himself had bet on baseball, but the report stated that messages regarding the MLB's investigation had been deleted and that the league found dismissal to be warranted.
