Police seized rope, handcuffs and gauze from a Washington County home and say cayenne pepper and honey were used to dress wounds of YouTube vlogger Ruby Franke's children.
IVINS, Washington County — New court documents indicate that a son of YouTube vlogger Ruby Franke was tied to the ground before he escaped the house through a window, and that cayenne pepper and honey were used to dress wounds of her children.
Franke amassed millions of followers with her "8 Passengers" YouTube channel, which has been taken down. The videos followed the lives of Franke, her husband and six children, with Franke offering parenting tips. Franke is the business partner of Hildebrandt, the founder of the Orem-based mental and emotional healing company "Connexions Classroom," a company that says it helps people with addiction and mental health issues.
Another affidavit also says the officers "observed the wounds and the malnourishment … to be severe." "A search warrant was served on the home, during which officers found that the victim's mother, Ruby Franke, had left her three children in the care of Jodi Hildebrandt," according to the warrant.
