In a gripping episode of "Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski," guest Shavaun Scott, psychotherapist and author, delves into the harrowing saga of the Franke family. Ruby and Kevin Franke, once the seemingly benign faces behind the popular YouTube channel Eight Passengers, are now at the heart of a chilling child abuse scandal, with their neighbor Jody Hildebrandt playing a significant, and sinister, role. Here's a condensed overview of their discussion:




Harrowing Revelations: Recent document and data dumps have unveiled distressing details of child abuse within the Franke household, drawing parallels to historical atrocities.
Incomprehensible Parenting: Scott reflects on the disturbing treatment of the Franke children, struggling to comprehend how any parent could inflict such suffering.
Cult-Like Dynamics: The conversation highlights Jody Hildebrandt's cult leader-like influence over the Frankie family, exacerbating Ruby and Kevin's preexisting personality flaws.
Ruby's Radical Shift: Ruby's phone calls depict a drastic change in her stance towards Jody, raising questions about the authenticity of her transformation or the psychological turmoil she's experiencing.
Kevin's Peculiar Position: Despite the Mormon belief system that typically places men at the head of the household, Kevin Franke's passive acceptance of Ruby and Jody's dictates starkly contradicts this norm, illustrating his unusual and troubling compliance.
Legal Oddities: The absence of legal barriers preventing Kevin from seeing his children, yet his choice to comply with Ruby and Jody's demands, points to Jody's significant control and manipulation.
