What happens when family values become a mask for abuse—and no one’s watching closely enough to stop it?

In this chilling episode of Champagne & Murder Please, we dive deep into two shocking and deeply unsettling family cases: the public unraveling of Kevin and Ruby Franke—famous for their YouTube channel “8 Passengers”—and the harrowing case of Travis Decker, a Washington father accused of the unthinkable.

We explore how outward appearances can hide horrifying truths, how communities and systems fail to intervene, and what these cases reveal about the darker side of family life that’s too often ignored. Grab your drink and your detective hat—this one’s going to haunt you long after the episode ends.
