Ruby Franke’s friend called Jodi Hildebrandt a guru… Ruby’s daughter Shari called her “our family’s very own cult leader.”

In Part 2, we continue our 3-part series on the Ruby Franke case, sharing what happened after Ruby and Kevin sought help for their son Chad’s behavior. 

How did it impact the family when therapist and life coach Jodi Hildebrandt entered their lives? What incident caused most of Ruby’s 2.5 million YouTube followers to turn against her? How did Jodi come to move into the Franke home? Why was daughter Shari disowned? And what circumstances led Kevin and Chad to both be “invited” to move out on the same day? We discuss all this and more.
