Overview
- Netflix’s Evil Influencer: The Jodi Hildebrandt Story has reached the top spot on the platform’s Top 10 Movies chart, refocusing attention on the Utah abuse case.
- After Ruby Franke’s February 2024 sentencing to four consecutive terms of one to fifteen years, the children were initially placed in protective custody before Kevin secured full custody of the youngest.
- Kevin filed for divorce in November 2023, finalized it in March 2025, announced his engagement in October 2025, and later married Becca Bevan with public congratulations from his adult children.
- He has urged policy changes before Utah’s Child Welfare Legislative Oversight Panel, citing repeated failed welfare checks and advocating oversight of unlicensed life coaches.
- The case was set in motion in August 2023 when the Frankes’ 12-year-old son escaped from Jodi Hildebrandt’s home, prompting arrests and later prison terms for both women.
