The lawyer representing Ruby Franke’s husband, Kevin Franke, said the YouTube mom frantically called him about an “emergency” hours before she was arrested. Randy Kester said Ruby Franke told her husband he needed to come to her Utah home immediately for the kids. This call took place shortly after her 12-year-old son escaped from Jodi Hildebrandt’s home “covered in wounds.” Read more key takeaways from this interview: https://bit.ly/46ehka9

That father is equally a MONSTER!!! No one is buying his INNOCENCE!!!
Don't say unpack
What happened to him???? Did the other 4 kids know about the 2 with their Mom and Jodi? There is so much more to this story.
What happened to that dog?
😆🤣 a joke
What about the children's rights to have a relationship with their father. She tells him to leave to heal their marriage but is not concerned at all that the children have a right to see their father regardless of her.
So, in that first interview he already knew his son was missing ?
Keep asking the questions, Jesse! There’s a lot of unanswered questions !
Duh… Russell was missing. Jodi couldn't find him. She called Ruby. She saw cop cars. Jodi called her lawyer.
This is sick. Sick
I just read on the Net that the illustrious "Utah Board of Pardons and Paroles" will determine the prison time for our illustrious friends "Ruby and Jodi," and will determine if both get only "1 to 15 years!" Wow, child molesters–sounds like you should move and conduct your wares in UTAH!!
He didn't give a damn about those kids or that witch and they didn't give a damn about him either. No contact in 13 months? Absentee Dad! Mom is a monster and runs the show and Dad doesn't care. Poor kids
Husband is a dead beat Dad
BS. How is he not held accountable for neglecting his children. Did he not have any contact with them for over a year? Did he never talk to them? This lawyer is smoothly adding in language to cover his butt. His kids didn't feel like they could tell him anything?
I don't buy it.
What has happened to Kevin? He had no contact .. but did that day… This case only gets worse. How did he sleep at night , work and breathe.
BS
What type of father, doesn't notice the weight loss, the marks, the freaking signs??? OH I forgot as he said on the interview I LOVE MY WIFE… whyyyy did he not say those words in that manner about his children when he was being told the situation. HE KNEW!!!
When the husband says that she was saying to him that it's best for their marriage and family for him to stay away and not even have contact by phone with the kids, he's either lying, or he's the most gullible dolt on the planet.
Who believes what he’s saying?
Don't be influenced by Media and video reporting. The kids are now under care, so that should not be a newsy chase story. Focus on manipulators and influencers in our world. In this example look to Jodi.
Liar!!
He's an absentee father and also responsible for what happened.
I'm a dad and if they lived in the same home he's liable, if not more-so. Tragic. It just goes to show how much everyone wants to be famous.
What a bad Lawyer!! How in the world he doesn't know why they got separated??
Oh, the poor sperm donor.
Yeah, whatever, that makes no sense, if anyone told you that your kids are better off without you that makes no sense why you would listen to that even if you were trying to get back with them. And the lawyer is talking too much.
Total BS!
My parents would have never allowed the other to do this. He is abusive garbage too!!
he is just as bad ! i pray the kids never end up with Kevin.
What kind of father abandons his kids!???
If kevin is that easily manipulated then he certainly is not fit to take care of his kids
It was karma that the kid wasn’t captured while running to the neighbours
No way he did not know what was going on in his own home. He should be arrested. Shame
I want to see all the unedited video. That will tell the true story
Like he didn’t know where she was. why would no one be living in their own home? It doesn’t make sense
Kevin was the non-protective parent, probably due to being totally whipped. Regardless, it appears to me that this outrage, especially Jodi Hildebrandt's ability to repeatedly harm the people referred by the LDS Church and continue to get referrals, means the Chuch bears a great deal of responsibility.
Hes in cover your ass mode
Woman really do manipulate men when it comes to.the children. She obviously made him felt like he could just stay away because she'll look after them….
She was definitely manipulating the whole family. They were separated because of her behavior.
She is exactly like Lori Daybell.
I’m sure she knew once Russell escaped and went for help it would only be a matter of time before the police came. If two small kids were bound, the two oldest not there, what was going on with the two middle girls?
Dad knew, you cannot tell me he lived in that house and didn't know what was going on, he failed to protect his children
Poor children/ son. Both parents let them down.
Father of 6 kids and just leave and look the other way!? He needs to be punished!
The father needs to go to jail too!!!!
Knowing "she could rely on him to help his kids'?
You mean she could rely on him to recapture his kid???
If you look into the stories from other victims of Jodi Hildebrant, it’s no mystery about him not calling to talk to the kids. That wasn’t allowed.
Hubby seems like he has no spine at all.
