Evil in the Home of an Influencer
Imagine living in a huge, beautiful house, surrounded by nothing but desert and amazing mountain sights, except this big, beautiful home is a nightmare for you and your siblings. The Franke kids grew up with their whole lives on blast. Their mom was YouTuber Ruby Franke, who documented everything from the happiness of her children to their abuse that she thought was “normal parenting” on her YouTube channel, 8 Passengers.
The Franke kids seemingly lived a normal life until their mom met the infamous Jodi Hilderbrandt. Jodi was the head of a religious-based therapy group called ConneXions, focusing specifically on couples, and she sucked Ruby Franke right in.
