Malevolent Mormon Mommys | The Case Against Ruby Franke & Jodi Hildebrandt

Between a Rock and a Hildebrandt: Kevin Franke's Cluelessness Unveiled

Listen Later
In an episode that reads more like a thriller novel than a family court case, "Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski" delves into the twisted tale of Ruby Franke and Kevin Franke, with Robin Dreeke lending his expertise on the bewildering dynamics at play. Here's a snapshot of the conversation, distilled into its most eyebrow-raising essence:

  • Kevin Franke's Cluelessness: A bewildering state of apparent ignorance concerning the depth of dysfunction and alleged abuse happening under Jody Hildebrandt's roof. The question hangs: Is ignorance bliss or just plain ignorance?
  • The Formation of an Anti-Male Cult: Ruby Franke and Jody Hildebrandt, described as creating a vortex of unhealthy behavior, seemingly manifested an anti-male agenda, with Kevin as a bystander—or perhaps, a casualty.
  • Legal Lapses and Parental Passivity: Kevin Franke's baffling lack of legal action to reclaim his children from what many would consider a volatile situation raises more than a few eyebrows and questions about parental responsibility—or the lack thereof.
  • Paranormal Deflections: When faced with serious allegations of child abuse, Kevin's recourse to paranormal activities as a distraction—or explanation—adds an eerie layer to an already complex case.
  • The Cult-like Dynamics: Echoing notorious cult activities, the Franke case seems to check all the boxes: charismatic leadership, isolation, exploitation, and a hint of sexual undertones, painting a grim picture of manipulation and control.
  • A Failure to Act: Kevin's inaction, potentially driven by fear or manipulation, stands as a stark reminder of how powerful groupthink and cult-like influence can be, especially when it comes to protecting the most vulnerable.
