Was Ruby Franke's Husband Also A Victim Of Her Abuse?

Was Ruby Franke's Husband Also A Victim Of Her Abuse?

When faced with a family scandal of immense proportions, the world tends to divide into two sides: those who stand by the accused and those who denounce them. But what happens when the lines are blurred, and the innocence of a parent is questioned? In a recent episode of the "Hidden Killers" podcast, hosted by Tony Brueski, a compelling dialogue with Defense Attorney and Host of "Defense Diaries," Bob Motta, delves deep into this gray area, examining the involvement of Kevin Frankie, a father caught in a vortex of allegations against his spouse.

Kevin Frankie's wife, Ruby, is currently incarcerated, along with Jodi Hildebrand. While Kevin asserts his primary focus is on doing what's best for his children, his statements and actions have led many to question his true motives. Was he genuinely unaware of his wife's alleged misconduct, or was he a silent bystander or even, possibly, an active participant?

"Is he really just trying to cover his tracks right now and be the good guy when maybe he was looking the other way for quite some time, or who knows?" Tony Brueski posits. It's a question that strikes at the heart of the matter, drawing attention to the possibility that Kevin might have been more involved, or at least aware, than he lets on.

However, as Motta astutely points out, the most critical testimony in this convoluted case will come from the children themselves. "What I care about is what the kids are going to say," says Motta. These children, being older and not toddlers, have a comprehensive understanding of what transpired and their testimonies could play a pivotal role in shaping the outcome.

The delicate balance of family dynamics comes to the fore when one considers the psychological and emotional burden the children bear. They find themselves in the unenviable position of potentially having both their parents imprisoned, and the choices they make regarding their testimonies will inevitably reflect their struggles with this reality.

In a notable remark made by Kevin's attorney, Kevin was cited as being keen on reaching out to his children, family, and friends to address and heal from past traumas. Such a statement could be interpreted in several ways. Is Kevin referring to the actions of his wife, Ruby, or hinting at his own complicity or passive involvement?

Tony Brueski hints at a deeper, more introspective realization Kevin might be experiencing: "Maybe I wasn't the best dad. Maybe I looked the other way on some things." This sentiment is mirrored by Motta, who emphasizes the overwhelming guilt parents often feel when they believe they've failed their children.

The dynamic between Ruby and Kevin is further complicated by the financial aspect. Their streaming venture was lucrative, with Ruby seemingly holding significant influence due to her being the "star of the show." This monetary power could have been a tool of manipulation, allowing Ruby to exert control over Kevin, as Motta theorizes, comparing the situation to cases where one partner holds financial dominance over the other.

In the end, the episode paints a harrowing picture of a family torn apart, not just by alleged misconduct but also by the complexities of their interpersonal relationships and external influences.

However, one question remains: Was Kevin Frankie truly an unsuspecting victim in this chaos, or was his silence an indication of complicity?

Documents and Videos Reveal Disturbing Details in Ruby Franke Child Abuse Case

Documents and Videos Reveal Disturbing Details in Ruby Franke Child Abuse Case

The Washington County Attorney’s Office has unveiled a trove of videos and documents shedding light on the harrowing child abuse case involving popular parent blogger Ruby Franke. From diaries to disturbing videos, the evidence paints a grim picture of the abuse inflicted upon Franke's children and the religious fervor that allegedly fueled it. Franke, alongside her business partner Jodi Hildebrandt, faced charges related to the aggravated abuse of Franke's children, a case that unfolded with shocking revelations and subsequent legal action. In the newly released documents, prosecutors underscore the role of "religious extremism" as a driving force behind the abuse perpetrated by Franke and Hildebrandt. Franke's handwritten diary entries chronicle months of torment inflicted upon her children, detailing tactics such as withholding food and oxygen, forcing outdoor confinement, and inflicting physical harm. One particularly distressing video, released by the attorney’s office, captures Franke's 12-year-old son, malnourished and wounded, seeking help from a neighbor after escaping confinement. The footage offers a stark glimpse into the dire circumstances endured by the children. Additionally, jailhouse calls between Franke and her estranged husband, Kevin Franke, reveal the emotional turmoil and denial that characterized the aftermath of her arrest. In a poignant exchange, Ruby attributes her predicament to the influence of evil forces, lamenting the loss of everything she holds dear. "Satan has taken everything away from me that I love," Ruby expressed in one call, reflecting on her plight from behind bars. Her husband, Kevin, responded with reassurance, vowing to uphold truth within their family amidst the turmoil. The case culminated in sentencing for Franke and Hildebrandt, with each facing prison terms for their roles in the abuse. Despite Franke's pleas and denials, evidence presented by prosecutors painted a grim portrait of the suffering endured by her children, underscoring the gravity of the charges. As the details of the case continue to emerge, the community grapples with the implications of such egregious abuse and the pursuit of justice for the victims. The Washington County Attorney’s Office remains steadfast in its commitment to transparency and accountability, providing a sobering glimpse into the dark realities of child abuse and the quest for closure in its aftermath.
