FBI Behavioral Analyst on Why Kevin Franke Didn’t Act Sooner
How do you go from parenting to full-blown exorcisms? That’s the twisted reality of the alleged abuse unfolding in the Ruby Franke and Jodi Hildebrandt saga. What started as a strict religious upbringing spiraled into something far more sinister—kids being duct-taped, starved, and subjected to cruel punishments, all under the guise of “purging uncleanliness.” But how did Ruby go from a popular mommy vlogger to someone who saw her own children as demons? And was Jodi the puppet master, manipulating Ruby for her own twisted needs?

Tony Brueski and retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke break down the psychological manipulation, cult-like tactics, and sheer horror behind this case. From Jodi’s alleged possession performances to Kevin Franke’s apparent addiction to Ruby, it’s a deep dive into a world where control, abuse, and religious extremism collided—leaving the most vulnerable to suffer.

Did Jodi truly believe in what she was preaching, or was she just cashing in on control and chaos? And how do people so fully lose themselves in a belief system that they justify harming their own children?
