About this listen

A child trafficking network. Political coverups. Missing witnesses. In the late 1980s, allegations emerged linking powerful U.S. figures to a scandal so explosive it threatened to expose the dark underbelly of America’s elite. But instead of justice, there were gag orders, sealed documents, and unexplained deaths.

This episode investigates the Franklin Scandal — a case involving foster children, high-ranking politicians, and financial fraud — and asks why so many leads went cold, and why the official story still doesn’t add up. What happens when power protects itself at any cost?
