The Rise & Fall of Ruby Franke

True Crime Today | A True Crime Podcast

This podcast episode dives into the shocking story of the Franke family, known for their "8 Passengers" YouTube channel. Based on Shari Franke's memoir, we explore the family's seemingly normal beginnings, the pressures of becoming internet personalities, and the dark turn Ruby Franke's parenting took under the influence of Jodi Hildebrandt. We discuss the allegations of abuse and neglect, the resulting family estrangement, and the eventual arrests of Ruby and Jodi. This is a cautionary tale about the dark side of internet fame, unchecked authority, and the importance of speaking out against injustice.
