Ruby was a vlogger whose once-popular YouTube channel, 8 Passengers, documented her family’s daily life. However, the channel and Ruby came under intense scrutiny over the years due to the strict parenting philosophy she used with her kids.
On Aug. 30, 2023, Utah’s Santa Clara-Ivins Public Safety Department announced the arrest of Ruby and ex-business partner Jodi Hildebrandt after police were notified earlier that day that a juvenile — described as appearing “emaciated” with “open wounds and duct tape around the extremities” — went to a neighbor’s house asking for food and water.
Following a subsequent search of the Franke home, officers found “another juvenile in a similar physical condition of malnourishment.”
