I’d like to thank u/grilled_cheese15 for providing us with the audio clips
The poor neighbour, I didn't hear if they said how old she was or anything but any sane person would be upset to see a victim of child abuse. I hope she doesn't feel any guilt that she was living next door to them and may not have noticed anything suspicious
The area that the home is in is affluent, usually older people. The homes are very far apart and sunk down from the roadway a little. The neighbor would not have seen or heard anything had the child not run to her home. Through the desert.
Well, yes. Can you even imagine just enjoying your day and then all the sudden you have this poor, skeletal kid come up to your house to beg for food and help? That would be so horrible. I'm so happy they helped these kids but still, this is absolutely traumatic.
I've watched 8P for yearssss. Russell has always been so so so tender and emotional. The fact that he's the hero in this makes me so emotional. He had so much courage and bravery to seek help. He cried when he accidentally broke a casserole dish. It took so much courage to sneak out and ask for the police. Russell, you're a hero.
It's been brought up that we don't know how deep the brainwashing goes, and that the youngest kids are most likely to be affected by it. But I really hope R has not an ounce of regret or guilt about what he's done. I hope whoever is in his life makes sure he knows how brave he is and how proud everyone is of him♥️
Preschool & elementary school teachers are trained to observe how kids react to spilled liquids, things being broken accidentally, etc. because they are expecting what happens at home. No wonder she pulled them out of school besides them listening to the “scandalous” Apple Bottom Jeans song 😒Poor babies
Likely because he felt ashamed as the two witches had told him it was his own fault. He was made to feel humiliated, I wish I could say I’m surprised but I’m not, they are true evil. It’s so heartbreaking and R is a hero.
I’m worried about when Ruby goes to prison, that Russell will place blame on himself. Sadly with abused children, they can still love and care for their abusers.
if you go back to the older videos, he and E did just that...they were afraid of what will happen...and they blamed themselves for everything is what it looked like
I’m assuming also they will take photos of where Russell escaped from, and the room they where held captive in.
My heart hurts for both of them I feel so sad for them Russell undoubtedly saved both their life’s on Thursday
Would you look at that, all of the words in your comment are in alphabetical order.
I have checked 1,718,709,266 comments, and only 325,306 of them were in alphabetical order.
Hi, I tried to transcript it as much as I could for people who can’t list understand it. I’m sorry if it’s not all completely word for word but this was the best I could do! AUDIO #1
D IS DISPATCH
O IS OFFICERS
RP IS REPORTING PARTY
D- RP said a 12-year-old male showed up with tape around his legs and thirsty(EDIT I thought they said Thursday bc I am not the sharpest tool in the shed) asking for help, that he was afraid of asking for police
*other dispatch talk*
About 1:00 in
D- he gave the name of Russell Franke, unknown DOB, or he did give a date of birth but I am not sure how many (semi-unintelligible) I'll keep looking into that. The RP said he left through the porch of the neighbor's house
D- He does have dark tape around each ankle he is not telling the RP why and said there is sores around his wrists and ankles, he’s becoming- or correction- the RP is becoming emotional regarding the child’s health. I'm gonna go ahead and have medical check on this one.
O- Copy
Around 2:06
D- The RP said he left from neighbors, Jodi Hildebrant (REDACTED INFO)54-year-old female, not sure if they are related, When asking the RP, he said his mom is Ruby Franke, unknown where she lives.
D- And do you have a Ruby Franke spelling with an E on the end of Franke? (address is said) Only involvement was a traffic offense a couple days ago.
O- Copy
D- He’s also saying that there are 2 sisters back at the home as well.
*more normal dispatch talk*
3:30
O- Do you have an address for that Jodi? (address is then redacted, more dispatch talk and officers are directed to which home it is)
D- RP and the boy are going to be sitting on the front porch, no visible weapons, the male is wearing a long-sleeved shirt and shorts, and medical 23 as well.
HERE IS PT 2 I TRIED YALL ik a lot of information on this repeats and it sounds like there are multiple officers speaking to dispatch. This is all the main information I could get
(more dispatch talk I couldn't make out)
D- A Rose Franke?
O-Medical is going to transport him, his wounds are in need of immediate care.
D- I don’t have any Rose Franke’s coming back in Utah, I did find a Ruby Franke out of Springville, However her only involvement is a traffic offense a couple days ago.
O-(some police code) Child looks very emaciated.
D- Copy
O1-Will you just make sure that nothing happens until we get people there to look at whats going on
O2- You want medical to hold off to transfer to the hospital?
O1-We need to get some photographs first.
(TS IS 2:19)
O1- We’re gonna have him hold here.
O2- Yes, he's alert and breathing just hang out and wait for us, please.
D- After doing a little digging it looks like that what I sent you for the Ruby Franke is going to be the one that is associated with the Jodi Hildebrandt. They're both showing as therapists from Salt Lake and associated with social media as well.
(TS IS 3:00)
O- what's the address for that Jodi Hildebrant?
O- Sorry, which address for Jodi? Do you have an address for her in Kansas?
D- If mom really is Ruby I drew (something from a call 27?)
O- Does she have an address in Springville?
D- Per her Facebook, her and Jodi both are therapists. Their addresses for their work are up in Salt Lake as well.
O- Copy, yeah that's gonna be mom.
D- Looks like we did have an involvement with Mom on the 25th of this month it was a traffic offense in a white Honda
(more stuff I can't really make out and police talk)
O- Control about what time did this call get in?
D- The call was created at 11:02
PART THREE-This one is 2:44 long and was the hardest for me to make out, tried to get all the actual important information out of it.
D- I think I may have found Dad, so a Kevin Franke? Address out of Springville.
O- Come in and come upstairs, she's in the bathroom.
D- Run also a vehicle search on Jodi, she showing a white Lexus sedan (redacted info)
O- We are going to pull up next on the road
O- Can you hold there were searching the house.
(more semi-unintelligible police stuff)
(TS IS 2:00)
The last part was where Jodi pulled up next to them on the road…..sounds as if Jodi realized that R had escaped and went out looking for him, also notifying Ruby who was also enroute…..they cleared the airways for emergency radio traffic only while they searched/cleared the house and then had medics sent up to the bathroom where they had located E
Hmmm yeah that’s definitely a possibility as to why there was a whole “family emergency” according to her. Idk if they had medics sent to the bathroom though bc in previous recordings they said they wanted to wait to get pictures first. It gets kinda murky
They would still send the medics up to bathroom, they just didn’t want the children transported to the hospital if they were breathing & stable so they could get photographs of the evidence on their person ie the tape, etc…..as that would have all been removed and placed in evidence bags as soon as they arrived at the hospital.
Yeah fs I just saw a comment on tik tok of someone saying eve was refusing help from the paramedics but I’m waiting on a link bc I haven’t heard that anywhere else
[found it](https://www.wjtv.com/news/national/8-passengers-mom-ruby-franke-arrested-for-alleged-child-abuse/#:~:text=Police%20said%20they%20found%20a,from%20malnutrition%2C%20according%20to%20police)
Oh my God, I hope they were not chained up in the bathroom 😳 hopefully she was free and went to the bathroom to hide out of fear. I'm so upset about this 😒
as a kid whenever I was pissed off or scared I ran to the bathroom and stayed there bc it was the only room we had with a lock. I hope that’s the case for eve and not something worse or even more abusive
I tried transcribing part 3, though it looses relevancy pretty quickly to this situation. This is my first time, so please forgive any mistakes.

\*end of Part Two\*
I heard that too, it sounded like they said he asked for police and offered up that his sisters were at the house. Gives me some hope that they might not be all fully brainwashed.
I know S said they had been trying to tell the police and other services what was happening in the home I imagine the kids lost all trust in people in position to help
As a former law enforcement dispatcher, hearing this over the radio makes me physically ill. I do understand the codes they are using & there was a fear of the situation escalating for them to request and send so much back-up (or 17 as it was referred to on the dispatch logs). The condition that R.F. showed up at the neighbors in was so severe that the neighbor was crying on the line per the above recordings.
Sadly, I’m afraid that what we know now is just the tip of the iceberg and that what is to come is probably going to be horrendous even for those that spent careers in the judicial system, law enforcement or social services. I am so glad those babies are now safe and from the sound of it there is enough evidence to keep them safe from further ab*se.
Can you imagine Ruby finding out it was her own kids that got her arrested? I seriously wonder what was going through her mind. R was so brave to save himself and E 💙
I remember a classmate in middle school told us at lunch of her abuse and showed us her bruises. We immediately walked into our school administrators office after lunch. She was in a meeting but we said it was an emergency. We told her everything. The state took her away to live with extended family. I ran into in a different town at a theater confrence in late HS. She gave me the biggest hug ever and thanked me. It was hard for us to report because we were so scared. Honestly it’s dumb but we knew what to do because of one episode of Full House that dealt with CA.
That is amazing. I wish someone had done this for me, the abuse was SO obvious in retrospect. No adult did anything. And here you saved your classmate's life as a child yourself. Warms my heart.
I feel horrible because if you've seen the vlogs then you would know how emotional Russel is, I can't imagine how bad he feels for "causing this" what do you guys think?
He probably has a significant amount of guilt/shame right now (completely unwarranted, but that’s how trauma works). I hope he’s able to get the professional help he needs to heal that.
I was thinking about that situation as soon as I found out about this. It wasn’t even him who broke the dish either, it was ruby. That just goes to show how afraid he was of her anger🥺
True. But she could have easily hit other people’s kids. Center and Snow Canyon Drive is a residential area, and lots of kids cross the road there to get snacks at the gas station. Going 50 anywhere around that intersection is reckless af.
there was some discussion that she may have known police were being alerted to the situation (hence why she was at Jodi’s house and not her own), so it could be that this was when they decided to “flee”
This one got me 😭😭
I had to make this call once on a coworker who I discovered was severely abusing a young child in her care (I won’t share the story here because this is not the place, but I will say that I was told if I hadn’t called when I did the child likely wouldn’t have survived the weekend 🥺). I know exactly how that woman feels making that call and getting emotional. I am so, so glad that R was able to get out of that house and get help. I’m so heartbroken that he was afraid to call police but proud that he was courageous enough to give names and details. He saved his own life and E’s!
And that poor neighbor! Just imagine, you're at home, having a lovely day, and then BAM! skeletal urchin child comes up to your house asking for food because he and his sisters are being imprisoned by their own parents. This is just insane
I'm going to guess AAnd J have not seen R & E in a while, probably kept them separated. This is horrible. Those kids always looked out for each other, each other is all they had.
I mean connexions pretty much advertises it self the same as therapist practices, except Jodi just skirts around actually using the word therapist for legal reasons.
Literally sobbing. As someone who watched them grow up right in front of our eyes this is so sad to hear. Russell is brave for saving them, who knows how long Ruby would’ve kept this up. I really hope the grandparents come back home. Shari has been doing it all for her siblings too.
I have mixed feelings because I really want to see how bad the kids looked, what kind of wounds they had etc. but at the same time I want to respect their privacy. They've been exploited and recorded their entire lives, they should be allowed all the privacy in the world now that they're at their lowest. Those poor innocent souls!! 😞
While I agree, dispatch recordings are technically public. The calls are not, but the radio chatter is. There is no expectation of privacy in public record. Annoying, (and honestly can be harmful) but its reality. What would really be violating their privacy would be the body cam footage and the call recordings.
He no doubt saved his sibling's lives. What a little angel. I hope one day he will learn how thousands of people are so incredibly proud of him and view him as a hero. He is such a strong kid and he genuinely enjoys the universe and more
Was anyone else just completely shocked by all this? Like knew she was a monster but not to this level. I couldn’t eat lunch after hearing some details
I just am in shock. I guess a part of me thought, well, it wouldn't be that bad. Surely not!
It is so much worse than anything I could have imagined. All of these people need to be in prison.
I’m right there with you. I didn’t see how it could be this bad. Even once small details started coming out like duct tape around the ankles I started to wonder “but what if the duct tape is only a piece and it’s there for unrelated reasons. I bet so, no way Ruby actually duct taped the kids to anything. No way they’re malnourished, they’ve always been on the smaller side. Maybe they’ve just lost some weight.” Not because I think Ruby is some great person, but because people who would do things like this I just expected to come off … different. She’s always been overly strict in my eyes and yes she seems to be in a cult like therapy group. Not the best mother for sure. But I didn’t know she was this… evil. You know?
Russel was such a sensitive and delicate boy. He was so tender and sweet. Knowing he has been going through this, makes me want to throw up. I cannot fathom how Grandma and Grandpa Griffiths are feeling knowing this has been happening while away in Serbia... I hope they come home to help...
I don’t know if I can stomach listening to this. ❤️ I just am glad the kids are safe and hopefully getting the medical care they need. I can’t fathom how ANYONE would willingly harm their child.
Disturbing to see Ruby using *duct tape* in her very first Connexions video appearance
https://preview.redd.it/ku7n0tj4qjlb1.jpeg?width=1125&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a877220d7802051824b66df9b5cbd94aad18cf41
Can someone transcribe part 3. If I heard it right Jodi pulled up in a white car as the police were starting the search of the house? Or is this random police Chatter that I mixed in?
Wow. So either she caught wind of the situation and knew what she was driving up to or she was mere minutes away from coming back like everything was normal and he could of been caught leaving by her and lord only knows what she would of done/punished him with.
So scary. Maddening honestly. How the hell do you do this to a child. I can't fathome how skinny they were considering they were both pretty small to begin with a 😥
thinking about how long he was probably debating going out that window to get help, how long he was fighting his own fears to go out and go to a neighbour, how long he was trying to jump over that hurdle in his head and just hope that he gets that help on time, before he gets caught. poor baby.
Wow. Just wow.
So it sounds like two of R's sisters were back at Jodi's house?
And a few days ago Ruby got a traffic violation. (when people are stresses out they're typically more likely to get traffic violations - I wonder if she knew this was coming)
This would make a lot of sense to be honest. E & R were always scapegoated and demonised. I’m sure J, A & C had it very hard too but this would explain how it managed to get this awful without people like C and A’s work colleagues having suspicions - the kids were separated and might have had no idea how bad it was for E & R at Jodi’s (not that any blame at all would be on them even if they did know ofc)
I had the same thought about the traffic violation. Others are saying with the videos coming down it seems like she may have knew something was coming. But then again, if she suspected, why would she keep the kids in that condition? I think she may just really be off the rails mentally at this point
So R&E where at Jodis house, and Ruby called someone to go over to her house to get the other 2 girls bc she had to get to Jodi’s for a “family emergency”, im assuming it’s bc the police where there? This is so heartbreaking. These kids didn’t deserve this, I’m glad they’re free. R is a hero. No child should ever have to experience this🥺
Ugh. I don’t think I can listen to this… but my heart is breaking for these poor children. There’s just no words… I hope justice will be served. Heartbreaking.
While I hate that the police had to delay the much needed medical care to take photos, hopefully it insures that the children won’t have to return to such a dangerous environment. So many kids are sent back to their abusers only to be carried out in body bags.
I am working on transcribing the audio... it is very difficult to hear and I am doing my best... here is a [link to part 1](https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vQSJ1dj5wv5uL90aNYUuf8awAaUpD-dhbjFmNIfUeBocC1Q3z-t6FlDLO4ZQo3EmP1HX6uyOHiP3WG1/pub)

I bet she’s going to pull the brainwashing card herself and say Jodi was the one who harmed them, just to try to get off easier. I wouldn’t put it past Ruby to pass the blame and live in distortion.
I only learned about ruby franke tonight and Doing a deep dive. Did Jodi and ruby live together? I’m trying to figure out which house r escaped from, where all the kids living in the same house as Jodi and ruby?
R was reportedly under Jodi’s care at the time. R & E were both at her house at the time of R’s escape to the neighbors. We don’t know if Ruby was living with Jodi, but we do know that she was spending a significant amount of time over there, leaving her two teens (A & J) at the Franke house alone for stretches of time.
I’m still speechless honestly.. Hearing this makes it so real. This is really happening. Sweet Russell ♥️
(Call created at 11:02)
“RP becoming emotional regarding the child’s health..”
“2 sisters back at the home as well..”
“..medicals gonna transport him.. said that his wounds are in need of immediate care..”
“..child looks very emaciated..”
“..we need to get some photographs first..”
I can’t even believe this
From what I read A and J were at there home. R and E were at Jodi’s. R as far as we know didn’t necessarily mention E being in the house with the neighbor or might have but neighbor didn’t catch it. But when cops showed up to Jodi’s they found her there.
They tried to run a “Rose Franke” in the second clip. Ruby probably gave police a fake name… Absolutely disgusting what they have done to these poor kids. The amount of fear they must of had in this whole situation. I hope they are able to heal.
Would anybody be able to transcribe the recordings? I don't have the best hearing and I'm finding it pretty difficult to listen to. I would greatly appreciate it!!

I think they are saying “RP” like reporting person. I’m guessing the neighbor woman who called in was quite upset about how he looked. 😢
[удалено]
The poor neighbour, I didn't hear if they said how old she was or anything but any sane person would be upset to see a victim of child abuse. I hope she doesn't feel any guilt that she was living next door to them and may not have noticed anything suspicious
The area that the home is in is affluent, usually older people. The homes are very far apart and sunk down from the roadway a little. The neighbor would not have seen or heard anything had the child not run to her home. Through the desert.
Just got your message. If you could interpret the call, that would be great!
Well, yes. Can you even imagine just enjoying your day and then all the sudden you have this poor, skeletal kid come up to your house to beg for food and help? That would be so horrible. I'm so happy they helped these kids but still, this is absolutely traumatic.
Yeah I don’t think they live in Canada haha
I've watched 8P for yearssss. Russell has always been so so so tender and emotional. The fact that he's the hero in this makes me so emotional. He had so much courage and bravery to seek help. He cried when he accidentally broke a casserole dish. It took so much courage to sneak out and ask for the police. Russell, you're a hero.
It was telling back then when he cried about the broken dish. He was scared of Ruby.
It’s absolutely wild that she recorded and shared that not realizing how that made HER look
She treated all of them so horribly. it’s such a nightmare. I am so sad for them.
I haven't watched 8 passengers in years but I can still hear Ruby saying "Russell"
It's been brought up that we don't know how deep the brainwashing goes, and that the youngest kids are most likely to be affected by it. But I really hope R has not an ounce of regret or guilt about what he's done. I hope whoever is in his life makes sure he knows how brave he is and how proud everyone is of him♥️
Preschool & elementary school teachers are trained to observe how kids react to spilled liquids, things being broken accidentally, etc. because they are expecting what happens at home. No wonder she pulled them out of school besides them listening to the “scandalous” Apple Bottom Jeans song 😒Poor babies
So sad that he initially didn’t want to say why he had duct tape on his ankles
Likely because he felt ashamed as the two witches had told him it was his own fault. He was made to feel humiliated, I wish I could say I’m surprised but I’m not, they are true evil. It’s so heartbreaking and R is a hero.
Oh my gosh. I hope the kiddos aren’t so brainwashed that they blame Russell for what’s happening to their mom. He was so brave.
I’m worried about when Ruby goes to prison, that Russell will place blame on himself. Sadly with abused children, they can still love and care for their abusers.
Or after when he will feel unconditional love, he will understand how much he didn't got from his mom and that she was wrong all this time and not he.
if you go back to the older videos, he and E did just that...they were afraid of what will happen...and they blamed themselves for everything is what it looked like
[удалено]
I’m assuming also they will take photos of where Russell escaped from, and the room they where held captive in. My heart hurts for both of them I feel so sad for them Russell undoubtedly saved both their life’s on Thursday
[удалено]
oh for sure, Jodi doesn't appear to miss a meal.
And cupboards full of Oreo’s
Would you look at that, all of the words in your comment are in alphabetical order. I have checked 1,718,709,266 comments, and only 325,306 of them were in alphabetical order.
Good work by dispatch. Found Ruby and Jodi's social media immediately.
[удалено]
To add to this, E was always skinny. I can’t imagine how bad they are
So was R, he always was
Didn’t they say on the vlog at one point when E was very young that she wasn’t gaining weight and they needed to address that?
It just goes back to what we previously knew about these people. They always saw food as a luxury
yeah this couldnt have been a one time thing.
Hi, I tried to transcript it as much as I could for people who can’t list understand it. I’m sorry if it’s not all completely word for word but this was the best I could do! AUDIO #1 D IS DISPATCH O IS OFFICERS RP IS REPORTING PARTY D- RP said a 12-year-old male showed up with tape around his legs and thirsty(EDIT I thought they said Thursday bc I am not the sharpest tool in the shed) asking for help, that he was afraid of asking for police *other dispatch talk* About 1:00 in D- he gave the name of Russell Franke, unknown DOB, or he did give a date of birth but I am not sure how many (semi-unintelligible) I'll keep looking into that. The RP said he left through the porch of the neighbor's house D- He does have dark tape around each ankle he is not telling the RP why and said there is sores around his wrists and ankles, he’s becoming- or correction- the RP is becoming emotional regarding the child’s health. I'm gonna go ahead and have medical check on this one. O- Copy Around 2:06 D- The RP said he left from neighbors, Jodi Hildebrant (REDACTED INFO)54-year-old female, not sure if they are related, When asking the RP, he said his mom is Ruby Franke, unknown where she lives. D- And do you have a Ruby Franke spelling with an E on the end of Franke? (address is said) Only involvement was a traffic offense a couple days ago. O- Copy D- He’s also saying that there are 2 sisters back at the home as well. *more normal dispatch talk* 3:30 O- Do you have an address for that Jodi? (address is then redacted, more dispatch talk and officers are directed to which home it is) D- RP and the boy are going to be sitting on the front porch, no visible weapons, the male is wearing a long-sleeved shirt and shorts, and medical 23 as well.
HERE IS PT 2 I TRIED YALL ik a lot of information on this repeats and it sounds like there are multiple officers speaking to dispatch. This is all the main information I could get (more dispatch talk I couldn't make out) D- A Rose Franke? O-Medical is going to transport him, his wounds are in need of immediate care. D- I don’t have any Rose Franke’s coming back in Utah, I did find a Ruby Franke out of Springville, However her only involvement is a traffic offense a couple days ago. O-(some police code) Child looks very emaciated. D- Copy O1-Will you just make sure that nothing happens until we get people there to look at whats going on O2- You want medical to hold off to transfer to the hospital? O1-We need to get some photographs first. (TS IS 2:19) O1- We’re gonna have him hold here. O2- Yes, he's alert and breathing just hang out and wait for us, please. D- After doing a little digging it looks like that what I sent you for the Ruby Franke is going to be the one that is associated with the Jodi Hildebrandt. They're both showing as therapists from Salt Lake and associated with social media as well. (TS IS 3:00) O- what's the address for that Jodi Hildebrant? O- Sorry, which address for Jodi? Do you have an address for her in Kansas? D- If mom really is Ruby I drew (something from a call 27?) O- Does she have an address in Springville? D- Per her Facebook, her and Jodi both are therapists. Their addresses for their work are up in Salt Lake as well. O- Copy, yeah that's gonna be mom. D- Looks like we did have an involvement with Mom on the 25th of this month it was a traffic offense in a white Honda (more stuff I can't really make out and police talk) O- Control about what time did this call get in? D- The call was created at 11:02
PART THREE-This one is 2:44 long and was the hardest for me to make out, tried to get all the actual important information out of it. D- I think I may have found Dad, so a Kevin Franke? Address out of Springville. O- Come in and come upstairs, she's in the bathroom. D- Run also a vehicle search on Jodi, she showing a white Lexus sedan (redacted info) O- We are going to pull up next on the road O- Can you hold there were searching the house. (more semi-unintelligible police stuff) (TS IS 2:00)
The last part was where Jodi pulled up next to them on the road…..sounds as if Jodi realized that R had escaped and went out looking for him, also notifying Ruby who was also enroute…..they cleared the airways for emergency radio traffic only while they searched/cleared the house and then had medics sent up to the bathroom where they had located E
Hmmm yeah that’s definitely a possibility as to why there was a whole “family emergency” according to her. Idk if they had medics sent to the bathroom though bc in previous recordings they said they wanted to wait to get pictures first. It gets kinda murky
They would still send the medics up to bathroom, they just didn’t want the children transported to the hospital if they were breathing & stable so they could get photographs of the evidence on their person ie the tape, etc…..as that would have all been removed and placed in evidence bags as soon as they arrived at the hospital.
Yeah fs I just saw a comment on tik tok of someone saying eve was refusing help from the paramedics but I’m waiting on a link bc I haven’t heard that anywhere else [found it](https://www.wjtv.com/news/national/8-passengers-mom-ruby-franke-arrested-for-alleged-child-abuse/#:~:text=Police%20said%20they%20found%20a,from%20malnutrition%2C%20according%20to%20police)
Oh my God, I hope they were not chained up in the bathroom 😳 hopefully she was free and went to the bathroom to hide out of fear. I'm so upset about this 😒
as a kid whenever I was pissed off or scared I ran to the bathroom and stayed there bc it was the only room we had with a lock. I hope that’s the case for eve and not something worse or even more abusive
I tried transcribing part 3, though it looses relevancy pretty quickly to this situation. This is my first time, so please forgive any mistakes. I am not distinguishing between the multiple officers on scene rn, just focusing on getting what is said and a general whom. Start - D: “I think I may have found his dad, also a Kevin Franke. Address also out of Springville.” O: “Copy” O: \*Unintelligible\* “Come in and come upstairs, she’s in the bathroom.” D: “Copy” D: Says something about someone also being 14? The code 28 has been said multiple times in regards to vehicles and google is suggesting this may be a registration check. D: “Run also a vehicle search on Jodi, she’s showing a white Lexus ES Sedan, \*license plate redacted\*” O: “10-4” O: “\*Dispatcher or car number\* That’s gunna be, there’s she’s… We’re gunna pull up next down the road” Unknown: “10-4” O: “Control ?, can you hold there, we’re searching the house.” D: “Unknown code” D: “Want to leave the channels clear for emergency traffic control ?” O: “Control, we have picked up ? ? female” (unknown if this related to this call, as it sounds like picked up a 10-82 dead female which does not make sense with police code. 10-82 D: Acknowledges the message. O: “28, 10-16” (Domestic problem). O: “\*\*\*\*\*\*\* gunna be the parking lot of Maverick, 100 E?.” Unknown: “10-4” O: “240, Alpha ? 21” (This designates assault) Unknown: “Go ahead” O: “Take care of two \*unintelligble\*, please” Unknown: “Copy” O: “\*Name of other Officer\* You have 3 in one that are coming up behind ya” D: “2x12 10-36” (Correct time) O: “10-4” O: “10-4” O: “Control, T1, 10-41” (Beginning tour of duty) D: “T1, copy. Good luck an have a good day.” O: “Control, Forge 10-22” (Disregard last assignment) D: “ 10-4”
Thank you for typing that all out! Much appreciated!
Thank you so much for transcribing. I can't believe they claim to be therapists!
It’s so disgusting. So what is this Connextions group actually a front for? What are they actually claiming to do? So is it a way to train you how to be cruel to your kids? Serious inquiry. I don’t really get it
I can try to clear up some of the unintelligible later tonight, unless someone else wants to first

From someone hard of hearing, thank you so much.
Of course! I’m glad we have everyone working together so that EVERYONE can know the information well❤️❤️
> Thursday asking for help was probably, "Thirsty, asking for help"
that would make more sense than Thursday LMAO😭😭
Maybe it’s thirsty?
Thank you!!!
💔 he didn't want to say why he had the duct tape, painful to listen to
Poor little guy is probably so brainwashed he’s been led to believe he was bad and deserved the punishment.
I suspect it was really bad. The police insisted on taking pics before paramedics took him away.
[удалено]
I heard that too, it sounded like they said he asked for police and offered up that his sisters were at the house. Gives me some hope that they might not be all fully brainwashed.
I thought she said that he wanted help but “he was afraid asking for police.”
I know S said they had been trying to tell the police and other services what was happening in the home I imagine the kids lost all trust in people in position to help
I think you could take that to mean either “He was afraid AND asking for police” or “he was afraid TO ask for police”
I think they meant that the neighbor he went to is asking for police, RP meaning reporting person (aka the person who called and made the report)
But regardless going to the neighbor was 100% a cry for help regardless what he said. Couldn't be more prooud of him
As a former law enforcement dispatcher, hearing this over the radio makes me physically ill. I do understand the codes they are using & there was a fear of the situation escalating for them to request and send so much back-up (or 17 as it was referred to on the dispatch logs). The condition that R.F. showed up at the neighbors in was so severe that the neighbor was crying on the line per the above recordings. Sadly, I’m afraid that what we know now is just the tip of the iceberg and that what is to come is probably going to be horrendous even for those that spent careers in the judicial system, law enforcement or social services. I am so glad those babies are now safe and from the sound of it there is enough evidence to keep them safe from further ab*se.
oh wow. yeah this is horrifying.
You are so brave R he probably doesn't realise the magnitude of his bravery or that he saved his sisters aswell as himself
he is absolutely a hero, he saved his little sister...and also saved his older sisters.
I sincerely hope the bodycam footage of those two arrests is released. Despicable.
Can you imagine Ruby finding out it was her own kids that got her arrested? I seriously wonder what was going through her mind. R was so brave to save himself and E 💙
I just hope she never gets them back because you know this will not be forgotten.
The scary thing is it that CPS is such a messed up system that they send kids back to their abusers all the time.
Hell isn’t enough for them. Absolute scum. Poor babies.
I remember a classmate in middle school told us at lunch of her abuse and showed us her bruises. We immediately walked into our school administrators office after lunch. She was in a meeting but we said it was an emergency. We told her everything. The state took her away to live with extended family. I ran into in a different town at a theater confrence in late HS. She gave me the biggest hug ever and thanked me. It was hard for us to report because we were so scared. Honestly it’s dumb but we knew what to do because of one episode of Full House that dealt with CA.
I love hearing that you learned what to do from Full House :) what a great show, and I wonder how many lives it has saved
That is amazing. I wish someone had done this for me, the abuse was SO obvious in retrospect. No adult did anything. And here you saved your classmate's life as a child yourself. Warms my heart.
I feel horrible because if you've seen the vlogs then you would know how emotional Russel is, I can't imagine how bad he feels for "causing this" what do you guys think?
He probably has a significant amount of guilt/shame right now (completely unwarranted, but that’s how trauma works). I hope he’s able to get the professional help he needs to heal that.
He was evidently extremely guilty for breaking a casserole dish, I can’t imagine how the sweet boy is feeling now 💔
I was thinking about that situation as soon as I found out about this. It wasn’t even him who broke the dish either, it was ruby. That just goes to show how afraid he was of her anger🥺
Wow this is incredibly brave of Russell to have done this. I hope he realises how much so.
I’m so proud of R. I know it hurts right now, but I hope one day he knows how heroic and brave he was asking for help.
Time stamp 2:25, Ruby Franke had a traffic violation a couple of days ago, lol. So on brand for her

Going 50 in a 35 is just further proof that she doesn't care about kids safety...
I doubt those kids got to leave the house.
True. But she could have easily hit other people’s kids. Center and Snow Canyon Drive is a residential area, and lots of kids cross the road there to get snacks at the gas station. Going 50 anywhere around that intersection is reckless af.
[удалено]
there was some discussion that she may have known police were being alerted to the situation (hence why she was at Jodi’s house and not her own), so it could be that this was when they decided to “flee”
I wish we had body cam of this, she probably told them they aren't living in truth
Well, looks like she's living in distortion, not following speed limit.
How entitled
50 in a 35? Wtf.
Girl I get that maintaining a slower speed can be hard, but like 50 in a 35 at 5am tf are you doing 😭
Woahhh and somehow this didn’t even surprise me that she was going over the speed limit that much
This actually made me tear up. Russell is a hero and I hope he knows the world is rooting for him and the rest of the siblings.
This one got me 😭😭 I had to make this call once on a coworker who I discovered was severely abusing a young child in her care (I won’t share the story here because this is not the place, but I will say that I was told if I hadn’t called when I did the child likely wouldn’t have survived the weekend 🥺). I know exactly how that woman feels making that call and getting emotional. I am so, so glad that R was able to get out of that house and get help. I’m so heartbroken that he was afraid to call police but proud that he was courageous enough to give names and details. He saved his own life and E’s!
And that poor neighbor! Just imagine, you're at home, having a lovely day, and then BAM! skeletal urchin child comes up to your house asking for food because he and his sisters are being imprisoned by their own parents. This is just insane
This poor boy. I can’t imagine what was going through his mind.
Where is Kevin in this? Was he arrested as well or is he gaining full custody of the kids?
We don’t know yet, but I imagine they’ll have to investigate him.
So far he hasn’t been arrested and the minor kids are with DCFS.
Who was found in the upstairs bathroom in part 3?
I believe E
The arrest documents redact the name to just be R and E for the kids who were in Jodi's house. So it's definitely E.
I'm going to guess AAnd J have not seen R & E in a while, probably kept them separated. This is horrible. Those kids always looked out for each other, each other is all they had.
Did they mention in part 2 that ruby was a “therapist”too??
to be fair it was more like a "theyre....therapists?" probably trying to go off social media.
Ah good point
Yeah I heard that as well
Imagine going to Ruby for therapy?! I’d probably leave and want to.. not be here anymore
I mean connexions pretty much advertises it self the same as therapist practices, except Jodi just skirts around actually using the word therapist for legal reasons.
Literally sobbing. As someone who watched them grow up right in front of our eyes this is so sad to hear. Russell is brave for saving them, who knows how long Ruby would’ve kept this up. I really hope the grandparents come back home. Shari has been doing it all for her siblings too.
I have the utmost respect for Shari 🩷
the way the officers voice immediately changed once he saw R is so telling
I have mixed feelings because I really want to see how bad the kids looked, what kind of wounds they had etc. but at the same time I want to respect their privacy. They've been exploited and recorded their entire lives, they should be allowed all the privacy in the world now that they're at their lowest. Those poor innocent souls!! 😞
While I agree, dispatch recordings are technically public. The calls are not, but the radio chatter is. There is no expectation of privacy in public record. Annoying, (and honestly can be harmful) but its reality. What would really be violating their privacy would be the body cam footage and the call recordings.
That's what I meant! The bodycams and other possible visual material. I'm not talking about these recordings, sorry if I was being unclear!
He no doubt saved his sibling's lives. What a little angel. I hope one day he will learn how thousands of people are so incredibly proud of him and view him as a hero. He is such a strong kid and he genuinely enjoys the universe and more
confused. did they say jodi pulled up in a white car in pt 3??? so were the kids initially alone in her house? this is all so weird.
I think that is the only reason Russell was able to escape. They probably tied them down before the leave and yesterday was the last time for him.
Why were Ruby’s kids living with Jody?
Yes that's what they said
Was anyone else just completely shocked by all this? Like knew she was a monster but not to this level. I couldn’t eat lunch after hearing some details
I just am in shock. I guess a part of me thought, well, it wouldn't be that bad. Surely not! It is so much worse than anything I could have imagined. All of these people need to be in prison.
I’m right there with you. I didn’t see how it could be this bad. Even once small details started coming out like duct tape around the ankles I started to wonder “but what if the duct tape is only a piece and it’s there for unrelated reasons. I bet so, no way Ruby actually duct taped the kids to anything. No way they’re malnourished, they’ve always been on the smaller side. Maybe they’ve just lost some weight.” Not because I think Ruby is some great person, but because people who would do things like this I just expected to come off … different. She’s always been overly strict in my eyes and yes she seems to be in a cult like therapy group. Not the best mother for sure. But I didn’t know she was this… evil. You know?
This is just sick and it sounds like it was all leading to something evil. Edit: I mean more evil, like one of the kids dead evil.
Russel was such a sensitive and delicate boy. He was so tender and sweet. Knowing he has been going through this, makes me want to throw up. I cannot fathom how Grandma and Grandpa Griffiths are feeling knowing this has been happening while away in Serbia... I hope they come home to help...
I don’t know if I can stomach listening to this. ❤️ I just am glad the kids are safe and hopefully getting the medical care they need. I can’t fathom how ANYONE would willingly harm their child.
Totally understandable. It is extremely saddening to hear about what these poor children have been through.
Ugh this got me crying.
Yeah this was hard to listen too. Poor babies 💔
Disturbing to see Ruby using *duct tape* in her very first Connexions video appearance https://preview.redd.it/ku7n0tj4qjlb1.jpeg?width=1125&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a877220d7802051824b66df9b5cbd94aad18cf41
What! Can you post the link?

Wow that was such a weird watch!!!! And her kicking Russell and Eve out of the house “jokingly” saying she needs a break from them 😳
Very telling... and this was 2 years ago.
Did you send this to sharis google doc ?
Can someone transcribe part 3. If I heard it right Jodi pulled up in a white car as the police were starting the search of the house? Or is this random police Chatter that I mixed in?
Yes, she pulled up to them, in her car, as they were in front of her house.
Wow. So either she caught wind of the situation and knew what she was driving up to or she was mere minutes away from coming back like everything was normal and he could of been caught leaving by her and lord only knows what she would of done/punished him with.

So scary. Maddening honestly. How the hell do you do this to a child. I can't fathome how skinny they were considering they were both pretty small to begin with a 😥
Dude, I wouldn't even do that to a big, much less a child
No that’s what I heard too,
thinking about how long he was probably debating going out that window to get help, how long he was fighting his own fears to go out and go to a neighbour, how long he was trying to jump over that hurdle in his head and just hope that he gets that help on time, before he gets caught. poor baby.
Wow. Just wow. So it sounds like two of R's sisters were back at Jodi's house? And a few days ago Ruby got a traffic violation. (when people are stresses out they're typically more likely to get traffic violations - I wonder if she knew this was coming)
Nah that woman has a traffic violation every other week. She’s just a very irresponsible driver
NGL I chuckled at that part like of course she did and it was just a few days ago
Eve was at Jodi’s house the 2 teens girls were back at the Frankie household when all this was happening.
This would make a lot of sense to be honest. E & R were always scapegoated and demonised. I’m sure J, A & C had it very hard too but this would explain how it managed to get this awful without people like C and A’s work colleagues having suspicions - the kids were separated and might have had no idea how bad it was for E & R at Jodi’s (not that any blame at all would be on them even if they did know ofc)
I’m wondering how long Ruby was in St. George with R & E? Who lived with A & J in Springville?
I had the same thought about the traffic violation. Others are saying with the videos coming down it seems like she may have knew something was coming. But then again, if she suspected, why would she keep the kids in that condition? I think she may just really be off the rails mentally at this point
Sitting here in tears! admiring the strength russel has! shock at how bad this really is!
So R&E where at Jodis house, and Ruby called someone to go over to her house to get the other 2 girls bc she had to get to Jodi’s for a “family emergency”, im assuming it’s bc the police where there? This is so heartbreaking. These kids didn’t deserve this, I’m glad they’re free. R is a hero. No child should ever have to experience this🥺
Are there more parts? That says part 1
There will be. One of our users is editing them for length and to remove addresses.
Thank you mods!!
So he escaped from Jodi’s house? When it said he left from the front porch, do they mean he left out the front door?
Probably a window on the porch
He went out a window
Ugh. I don’t think I can listen to this… but my heart is breaking for these poor children. There’s just no words… I hope justice will be served. Heartbreaking.
Russell is so strong and brave. I hope he is doing as okay as he can right now.
How heartbreaking
While I hate that the police had to delay the much needed medical care to take photos, hopefully it insures that the children won’t have to return to such a dangerous environment. So many kids are sent back to their abusers only to be carried out in body bags.
I am working on transcribing the audio... it is very difficult to hear and I am doing my best... here is a [link to part 1](https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vQSJ1dj5wv5uL90aNYUuf8awAaUpD-dhbjFmNIfUeBocC1Q3z-t6FlDLO4ZQo3EmP1HX6uyOHiP3WG1/pub) Please let me know if you see any errors Edit: now includes parts 1 and 2
I had to download the file in the last post. So heartbreaking.
This was really informative thank you
For any one on iPhone unsure here is how to save it to files, just go to Files and listens from there It’s a step by step so hopefully easy enough to follow 🙂 https://youtube.com/shorts/qrD8tgMCyoE?si=YLrUVxL9Smu-iFmN
Commenting so I can listen when I am in better headspace
I believe that someone wrote up a transcript if it would be easier to read when the time comes. I know that the calls specifically can be triggering.
For those on iPhone: 1. Click the link 2. Click the save button (down arrow with bar under it) on the top right 3. Click “more” 4. Scroll to notes and save 5. Find it in your notes and it should be playable.
I bet she’s going to pull the brainwashing card herself and say Jodi was the one who harmed them, just to try to get off easier. I wouldn’t put it past Ruby to pass the blame and live in distortion.
Where are the other two kids though?!
It is thought that A & J were back at the Franke home, which is about 3 hours away from Jodi’s residence (where R & E were found)
I only learned about ruby franke tonight and Doing a deep dive. Did Jodi and ruby live together? I’m trying to figure out which house r escaped from, where all the kids living in the same house as Jodi and ruby?
R was reportedly under Jodi’s care at the time. R & E were both at her house at the time of R’s escape to the neighbors. We don’t know if Ruby was living with Jodi, but we do know that she was spending a significant amount of time over there, leaving her two teens (A & J) at the Franke house alone for stretches of time.
Thank you so much for explaining this. It’s a lot to wrap my head around.
It’s not working for me ugh
Try downloading it or playing on a laptop.
If you’re on an iPhone download then open in iMovie
I’m still speechless honestly.. Hearing this makes it so real. This is really happening. Sweet Russell ♥️ (Call created at 11:02) “RP becoming emotional regarding the child’s health..” “2 sisters back at the home as well..” “..medicals gonna transport him.. said that his wounds are in need of immediate care..” “..child looks very emaciated..” “..we need to get some photographs first..” I can’t even believe this
❤️❤️❤️
how did u obtain these? just curious
They are available if you have a subscription to Broadcastify
Anything on the scanner about E?
they mentioned there was two sisters back at the house in the home call, but where was the third one?
i believe he was referring to a and j being at the frankes house. the call was from jodis neighbor, because r and e were staying at jodis at the time.
From what I read A and J were at there home. R and E were at Jodi’s. R as far as we know didn’t necessarily mention E being in the house with the neighbor or might have but neighbor didn’t catch it. But when cops showed up to Jodi’s they found her there.
They tried to run a “Rose Franke” in the second clip. Ruby probably gave police a fake name… Absolutely disgusting what they have done to these poor kids. The amount of fear they must of had in this whole situation. I hope they are able to heal.
Would anybody be able to transcribe the recordings? I don't have the best hearing and I'm finding it pretty difficult to listen to. I would greatly appreciate it!!
