Ruby Franke Calls Husband From Jail “I’m A Really Good Girl” After Almost Killing 2 Of Her Kids
26 Mar 2025
“I don’t do naughty things, I’m a really good girl.” That is what Ruby Franke tells her husband Kevin in a recorded jail call. She’s a really good girl - that almost killed 2 of their youngest children. She kept them locked away in her marriage counselor/“lovers” mansion basement - torturing them for months. Soon, all the evidence will come out - their abuse diaries, the alleged romantic relationship, and the grim detail that they were planning on buying a 500 acre property in the middle of nowhere to carry out more extreme abuse. But the question on many people’s minds is - how was nobody else involved and how did nobody else know what was happening? Kevin Franke, Ruby’s devoted husband, has become the center of conspiracy theories. With people wondering just how much he knew, just how much he’s covering up now, and if he should be charged. Also, why did he try to sue his oldest daughter after his wife was arrested? What about the mysterious woman - Pam? Two Franke teenage girls were found deep cleaning her home the day of the arrests. How come she doesn’t appear that shocked to find out what Ruby had been doing? Is it because she knew all along? And what will Ruby and Jodi do to each other in prison? Will they turn on each other to save themselves - or do they still believe everyone is working with the devil? Full show notes at rottenmangopodcast.com
Full Episode
It's not exactly where you want to spend a lot of your free time, especially if you don't have loved ones buried inside the cemetery. It is kind of odd when you think about these two middle-aged women sitting in their AC blasting car just staring out into this cemetery in Utah. Ruby thinks there's a plan for everything. This is to teach Ruby, Frankie's two youngest children a lesson.
Go barefoot in the scorching hot heat pavement of the cemetery, pick up every single bit of weed, brush, cactus, thorn, broken glass, trash inside the cemetery for five hours. No shade, no food, and definitely no water. The youngest, the little nine-year-old girl, screams for another family, for water, for food, care, love. But Ruby and Jodi, they know this is all manipulation.
That's the plan, okay? This is what they've been doing until one day a woman stops to watch them. This woman starts taking pictures of them. She's taking videos right now, right? Ruby turns to her kids and tells them to shield their faces from the picture while they continue to pull the weeds.
But after about 15 minutes of this woman just watching Ruby forcing her kids to pull weeds at the cemetery, the woman approaches them. What are you doing here? This isn't your land. This is a reservation and you are trespassing. How would you feel if I came around and started poking around your cemeteries? What are you stealing here? Who's talking?
This is a random woman that comes by. And Ruby writes in her journal, nothing. We're weeding. We're picking up trash, weeds and broken glass. You can see for yourself. Leave. Get off our land. This is a reservation, meaning it's literally reserved for indigenous people. It's not enough for you guys to come and take all of our land. Now you want more? Now you want our cemeteries too?
What is wrong with you? You weren't raised right. So much disrespect. What are you doing in our cemetery? I mean, no disrespect. We're honoring your people. Ruby later states that it was not worth the fight. She collects her kids and gets in the car. This graveyard torture will have to stop for the time being.
She and Jodi Hildebrandt will just have to think of a new way to get the devil out of Ruby's two youngest children. Ruby writes in her journal, I told E, the youngest daughter, I told her that she invited evil, that you created this evil. But the good news is because you created it, you can destroy this. The truth is E did not start this. She did not create this.
She did not invite evil into their home. But August 30th, 2023, they will be sent away. This is the final part of Ruby Frankie and Jodi Hildebrand and how both of them were arrested and their new accusations from jail, a new lawsuit that's hit them in jail and how there might be a third person, a third woman that people think that should be arrested along with them.
