Summary

FBI Profiler Analyzes Kevin Franke’s Behavior In Ruby Franke Devil In The Family Doc
Was Kevin Frankie just an oblivious husband caught in the crossfire of a manipulative cult-like influence, or was he a willing enabler turning a blind eye to the horrors unfolding in his own home? Hulu's Devil in the Family has reignited the public debate, shifting the spotlight onto Kevin and his role—or lack thereof—in the Ruby Frankie child abuse case. FBI behavioral expert Robin Dreeke joins the conversation to break down Kevin’s statements, body language, and just how deep the psychological manipulation may have gone. Was Kevin truly kept in the dark, or is he still rationalizing his own inaction? And what role did the twisted interpretations of faith play in justifying the unthinkable?

It has reignited public debate over the Ruby Frankie child abuse case, but this time the

0:23.9

spotlight is on someone who wasn't behind bars, believe it or not, Kevin Frankie. Was he a clueless

0:30.9

husband caught in the gravitational pull of a manipulative therapist and a wife gone rogue? Or was he a passive enabler who let the unthinkable happen under his nose or was it kind of a gray area?

0:45.3

Today we're joined by retired FBI Special Agent Robin Drake, an expert in behavioral analysis and deception.

To help us break down Kevin's statements, his body language, and the psychological elements at play here.

0:59.0

Robin, I know you had a chance to watch devil in the family, the Ruby Frankie story.

1:06.0

When you look at Kevin's interview, because this is really the first one that we've seen that really gets in-depth with the family and their specific perception,

1:15.0

his explanations on how he was kept in the dark, manipulated, and ultimately exiled from his own family, what jumps out at you?

1:24.2

Do you see genuine remorse and deception deception or do you see someone who's still

1:54.0

congruous with the things I'd seen already. And also what I'd read, Sherry Frankie's book was really

1:59.3

spot on. The documentary kind of filled a few

2:02.5

gaps on Kevin's side that weren't there before, but they're very congruent with the things

2:06.5

they were both saying, which was useful. Yeah. And I'm going to say, I'm going to start out with
