Ruby Franke, Elleshia Seymour, and the Utah Fathers Who Say They Didn't See It Coming

Ruby Franke, Elleshia Seymour, and the Utah Fathers Who Say They Didn't See It Coming

Ruby Franke's twelve-year-old son escaped through a window with duct tape on his wrists. Elleshia Seymour's eight-year-old told a stranger in Croatia to Google his name. Two Utah kids. Two different families. Both figured out how to rescue themselves.

Their fathers? Kevin Franke hadn't seen his children in over a year. He told police his only job was paying bills. Kendall Seymour was in Utah while his kids sat in a Croatian orphanage after his ex-wife allegedly fled the country on TikTok doomsday prophecies.

Both women were raised LDS. Both became apocalyptic extremists. Both fathers claim total shock.

This is the pattern nobody wants to examine: When doomsday preparation is normal, when personal revelation from God is expected, when the end times are always near—how do you recognize when faith turns dangerous? The children saw it clearly enough to escape. The fathers are still explaining why they didn't know.
