The Franklin Scandal was systematically buried; its victims silenced, murdered, or incarcerated, and it's truths- dismissed as a "well crafted hoax". This episode challenges that narrative head-on- not by making wild claims, but by showing just how many threads were swept under the rug, how many children wer…
