Is Kevin Franke Standing Behind His Wife Ruby Franke

Is Kevin Franke Standing Behind His Wife Ruby Franke

How does a seemingly "strict" parent evolve into someone capable of severe child abuse?
In a recent episode of the "Hidden Killers" podcast, Tony Brueski sat down with Robin Dreeke, retired FBI Special Agent and Chief of the Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program, to dissect a troubling and complex situation. The case at hand revolves around a mother, referred to as Ruby, whose strict and unreasonable parenting showcased on her YouTube channel spiraled into allegations of physical and mental abuse. The most jarring incident was the escape of her emaciated son, who was discovered duct-taped.

Tony questioned, "How does one go from being a strict parent… to literally your son escaping a home emaciated and duct taped?" Dreeke likened the situation to the proverbial "lobster in the pot," a slow boil that gradually intensifies until it's too late.

It appears Ruby was not acting alone. A certain "Jodi" seemed to have a manipulative grip on Ruby, directing her actions and isolating her from loved ones who might intervene. Dreeke commented on the dangers of such isolation, “All the loving critics, like her husband, that could have said, ‘Hey, what the hell are you doing?’ Jodi got rid of him.”

Drawing parallels to Robert Greene’s "Laws of Human Nature", Dreeke pointed out that individuals often surround themselves with enablers who validate their beliefs. As Ruby's actions were continually reaffirmed by her YouTube following and by Jodi, her behavior became increasingly severe. The conversation even touched upon historical contexts, highlighting how individuals like Hitler rose to power by manipulating the masses – a demonstration of how powerful and influential a single individual's hold can be on people, leading them to commit or overlook heinous acts.

While Dreeke was careful not to directly compare Jodi to Hitler, he emphasized the psychological tactics at play. "It's the levers of influence that we're talking about," he stated.

Another element the duo dissected was the strange behavior of Ruby's husband, Kevin. Amid the controversy, Kevin had an altercation with his elder daughter, Sherry, accusing her of burglary after she collected some of her belongings from their family home. While she stated relief over her mother’s arrest, Kevin seemed resistant, even hostile. Tony expressed bewilderment over Kevin's decision-making, implying that there's a lot more beneath the surface that hasn't come to light.

Despite the deep analysis, the situation remains an enigma, presenting more questions than answers. The episode serves as a chilling reminder of the extent to which individuals can be manipulated, the dangers of unchecked power, and the complexities of human psychology.

Is society susceptible to the influence of manipulative figures in daily life, and if so, how can we recognize and counteract these influences before they cause irreversible harm?

What ELSE Did Ruby Franke & Jodi Hildebrandt Do To Their Children That We DIDN'T Hear About?

What ELSE Did Ruby Franke & Jodi Hildebrandt Do To Their Children That We DIDN'T Hear About?

Ruby Frankie and Jody Hildebrandt finally sentenced – but was it enough? After shocking the world with their horrific child abuse, Ruby Frankie and Jody Hildebrandt have been handed prison sentences of up to 60 years each.  But is this justice for their crimes? On this episode of Hidden Killers, Tony Brueski brings in retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer to dissect the sentencing and the lingering questions the case raises. “I was happy to see the 60-year exposure...both of these were sentenced to the same sentence. Do you think that was fair?” Brueski probes. Coffindaffer raises a crucial point:  as the children's mother, did Ruby deserve even harsher punishment than her co-conspirator, Jody?  The discussion explores the chilling dynamic between abuser and abused, questioning both women's roles in the horrific crimes. The hosts analyze the apologies made in court.  Was Ruby truly remorseful when she said, "I am committed to unlearning my toxic behavior"?  Can such monstrous behavior ever truly be unlearned, or are they both capable of repeating these horrors? "She’s capable of this and much more... I think he should be held responsible to a degree as well," Coffindaffer remarks regarding Kevin, Ruby's husband. Might he also be culpable? The episode delves into chilling details from the Eight Passengers videos and police interactions, highlighting the pattern of abuse that likely escalated behind closed doors. Were Ruby and Jody stopped only because they got caught?  Would they still be abusing these children if not for the intervention? Join this haunting discussion on Hidden Killers and grapple with the uncomfortable questions this disturbing case raises.   Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

How Long Will Ruby Franke & Jodi Hildebrandt Serve In Prison, Eric Faddis Weighs In?

This episode of Hidden Killers dives into the sentencing of Mormon mommy bloggers Ruby Frankie and Jody Hildebrandt, who were convicted of child abuse. Host Tony Brueski is joined by former Felony Prosecutor and attorney Eric Faddis to dissect the details of the case and the sentencing process. Key points discussed: Sentencing: Both Frankie and Hildebrandt received 4 consecutive 15-year sentences, with the possibility of parole after serving 1 year per sentence. Faddis explains how the final sentence length will be determined by the prison system based on factors like behavior and good time credits. Plea Deal: The defendants opted for a plea deal to avoid a trial and potentially spare the victims further trauma. Faddis analyzes the strategic move and its potential benefits in terms of reduced sentencing. Accountability: While both received the same sentence, the discussion delves into whether Frankie, as the alleged ringleader, deserved harsher punishment. Rehabilitation: Faddis expresses optimism for rehabilitation but questions the depth of change possible after such extreme behavior.

BREAKING NEWS: The Sentencing Of Ruby Franke

BREAKING NEWS: The Sentencing Of Ruby Franke

Could a mother and her mentor, once trusted with the care and guidance of children, be responsible for their abuse? This troubling question has been answered in the case of Ruby Franke, a parenting YouTuber, and her business partner Jodi Hildebrandt. Both women have been sentenced to four consecutive prison terms each, following guilty pleas to child abuse charges. The case came to light after one of Franke's children fled Hildebrandt's residence in August, seeking help from a neighbor. Franke, known for her "8 Passengers" YouTube channel, and Hildebrandt, who ran ConneXions Classroom, faced six counts of aggravated child abuse, with each count carrying a possible prison term of one to 15 years and a fine of up to $10,000. During sentencing, state prosecutor Eric Clarke likened the environment Franke's children endured to a "concentration camp-like setting," describing Franke's actions as "horrible acts of child abuse." Clarke also labeled Hildebrandt a "significant threat" to the community. In court, Franke acknowledged her guilt and expressed gratitude to the officials who rescued her children. She agreed to testify against Hildebrandt as part of her plea deal. Hildebrandt's plea agreement revealed her awareness and participation in the abuse. Disturbingly, it included forcing Franke's daughter to repeatedly jump into a cactus and detailed other heinous acts of torture. Franke's family, including her husband Kevin Franke, who has filed for divorce, has been left to grapple with the aftermath. Kevin's lawyer stated his focus on keeping the children together and under his care. In a recent court appearance, Ruby Franke apologized to her former husband, calling the end of their marriage a "tragedy." Statements from Franke's family, including her brother Beau Griffiths, suggest Hildebrandt's manipulative influence over Franke. Griffiths, himself a former participant in Hildebrandt's program, accused Hildebrandt of brainwashing his sister. The sentencing marks the end of a harrowing chapter for the Franke family and raises serious questions about the influence and responsibility of those in positions of trust. As Ruby Franke and Jodi Hildebrandt face the consequences of their actions, one wonders: How did such a trusted figure in parenting guidance fall so far from grace?   Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?
