Recordings of Ruby Franke and Jodi Hildebrandt while they were in jail shed light on what was going through the duo’s minds after they were arrested for child abuse. Both Franke and Hildebrandt appeared to justify their cruel acts, with Ruby saying “Children can be full of evil” and Jodi claiming “No one wants the truth.” The pair pleaded guilty to four counts of child abuse and were locked up in prison. Law&Crime’s Sierra Gillespie and Elizabeth Millner break down key highlights of their jailhouse calls.

Great kind man. 🙏😇
Donne senza coscienza e dignità- lei non merita i suoi figli. Deve rimanere in carcere per lungo tempo. Che schifo!!!
I don't think either of them were misunderstood. Their actions told the truth about them. She and her husband were abusing those children before she met Jodi so she can't claim being away from Jodi has cleared her head and ask for leniency in her sentence. She needs to serve every day of the maximum, as does Jodi.
What a PSYCHOPATH.
Jodi don't know what persecution even is. It ain't persecution. It's accountability and justice for the innocent
So Ruby called her husband Kevin who claimed he was oblivious to the abuse. I thought Kevin later said in his first interview that he hadn’t seen the kids in over a year,and that he basically said he financially supported his children like a father supposed too.Indicating that he was doing his fatherly duties.,suggesting this was supposed to be normal. I pray these children never are placed back with their father. Both parents evil.
She’s so delusional she’s not all there she needs to see a psychiatrist and never see those kids ever again
In my opinion, the reason she stayed quiet when she was arrested was because she was thinking it was all her kids fault as usual, and she was planning more ways to torture them once she was released.
Is she related to Laurie and Chad Daybell?
A pair of evil witches!!!!!
I have heard NO I am sorry of child abuse from Jodi, Ruby, and Kevin
So Rudy you think Jodi is crazy , but you left your young children with her , you are both serial and feed off each other
Cleared up what Ruby, Jodi and you are partners in abuse😊
Well if Children are evil Ruby remember u were a child at one time so are u evil Ruby?
Just think, cayenne pepper. There wasn’t a moment these two didn’t cause horrible harm.
What crazy religion do they belong to?
Jodi Hildebrand is playing martyr, but she just doesn't want to take responsibility for her abuse of the kids.
Jodi speaks about the same things my mom talks about in the same way. It’s horrifying to hear that in someone else’s voice and yet the messaging is familiar. 😵💫
They both believe themselves to be martyrs, especially Jodi. She is utterly unrepentant. She should never be let out, she is a Mormon crackpot.
I’ve said all along that these two ladies don’t get it! I don’t think they believe they did anything wrong.
I think the boy had been told by his mother that the police would lock him up if he ran away but had decided that he might be better off! I think he expected the police to take him into custody not his mother, poor kids thinking the abuse was their fault.
That woman is STARK RAVING MAD!! 🤪
These two bad ladies have many enablers, their phone calls have eager listeners that do not tell them they are wrong.
What the heck?
I saw pictures of the little boys wounds, and they were absolutely horrific. A lot worse than I expected, and I expected them to be bad. I don’t know how any parent could do this to their children. I don’t care whose influence they were under you’d still have to be some kind of sicko in the first place. And the father isn’t much better. If you haven’t watched his interrogation video check it out. Even when told what happened to his kids his first response was concern for his wife, not his children. Now he says that he wanted the long prison sentence for his wife and Jody Hildebrandt and he’s trying to get custody. And that his wife was controlling him “emotionally” because she knew how much he wanted the family together. But if he truly felt that way, then why did he cut off all contact with his children? Just because THEY told him to? His wife was more important to him than his kids were. And that was really obvious when he was speaking to police.
Was the dialogue from whoever Jodi was talking to edited out? Not a word… Imagine having to listen to that narcissistic co-opting of scripture to elevate her crimes to something noble. I wonder if he just put the phone down and played Candy Crush until she was done.
Evil people full of Satan.
They better not be paroled! They need to do there 30 years!
I don't like people when they use the Bible as their benefit and by the way I am a Christian this isn't right people who looking at my comment don't think all Christians are like that.
It's like front row seats to the mind of a Looney Toon. Seriously. Textbook.
It’s amazing how he didn’t talk once about the torture of his son to his wife unbelievable
I don't hear Kevin telling her how those kids were found, he is just as bad
Hilderbrant claimed the abused child put the duct tape on himself. Thats not physically possible. She is a self serving fraud. The judge and prosecutor are right in the sentencing when they said ahe is a danger to society.
This is so sad brought me to tears 😢 may they both rot in jail.
Religion 😂😂😂😂
Cold, calculating, evil. Ruby, Jodi, and Kevin.
She abused her kids and think she did nothing wrong? Whoa boy. She is sick.
using religion to justify her crimes and then praising it as the savior of 'freeing' herself iust strikes me as a really weird
Those two evil women were going to kill those kids….
I hope she gets the Russian treatment in jail
Diese Monster gehören Beide lebenslang ins Gefängnis. Der Vater ebenso, denn das der das Ganze nicht gewusst hat, glaube ich nie und nimmer. Was für bösartige und gestörte Menschen!
Who is talking to Ruby on these calls?
Her scripture says you will be persecuted for His name Sakes…BELING SAVED IN CHRIST AS A CHRISTIAN! Has nothing to do with child abuse.
It makes me so happy to hear her so angry. I hope the other ladies make her time in prison a hungry time. She's an evil sadistic control obsessed narcissist. She's furious anytime she doesn't get her way. When she was arrested and interrogated she was teeming, almost numb with furious rage.
She's got a direct line to the big guy in the sky. One can't even believe insanity like this.
The mind is truly a creative thing. Jody Hildebrandt has rationalized in her mind that she is the victim and the kids have risen to punish her for her godly acts… Religion is the most messed up thing ever! Religious people are terrifying. Religion is terrifying. People should always hang onto their common sense. What an easy way to just make everything OK… just fine quotes in the Bible to support you.
Its funny how an unhealthy take on religion and the bible gives people the excuse to kill and abuse. Its almost medieval ideology.
This is what happens when people give into the ideology of 'parental rights'. In my country we wouldn't just be talking about how the parents failed these kids, we'd talk about how the State failed them. There should have been social workers checking in on these people. When you hand all the power over to the parents and don't check up on them for fear of 'breaching their parental rights', you end up with cases like this one.
fail system if they allow this pure evil father to have the kids … he is 100% responsible like his evil witch ex
