He honestly agreed to leave the home because of their marital issues but it's very clear in the interview that he indeed thought he was doing the right thing by leaving and giving her what she wanted.

      I do believe you hit the nail on the head. I believe the LDS church owns the prosecutor's office after I heard him speak and what he said did he not read her journal I couldn't even listen to the journal which was being read on CZcams channel I had to switch it off I could not listen to it anymore. These children will grow up and become adults and you will be sorry Ruby one day

      Same, way back when they started doing Connexions I personally felt that the body language between them was very intimate. And it would make sense as to why she wanted Kevin out of the way.
      Also he said some interesting things like how when Jodi was staying with him and Ruby, she ended up moving out of the marital bed and sleeping in the same bed as Jodi.
      Also he felt the group run by Jodi were a bunch of "man haters" so with Jodi being the leader of the group you can imagine the rubbish she was filling the women's heads with - remember the guy who came forward months ago who said Jodi had split up their marriage and basically moved in on his wife? He didn't state it was romantic but I fully believe that Jodi is a self hating lesbian, full of rage and hate because her beliefs tell her it's evil to be gay. I dunno dude, that's just my thoughts 😂

That woman didn't do anything wrong besides pick the girls up and still at that .. until they could explain the situation to her they separated everyone and she cldnt have her phone.

    What they did is sick and makes no sense. They have beautiful families, they seem well off too. Why put kids through that. Strange things come out of Utah. There seems to be a pattern forming. This reminds me of the Lori Vallows or whatever her name was. It also reminds me of the abuses in the polygamy cults.

      The pattern is Mormonism

      @Mr_C.Bacteria even though it is a false religion, not all Mormons do things like this.

      No such thing as a “true” religion. They’re all ridiculous.

    That was creepy just hearing the part about the room and she doesn’t have the code. Very suspicious and sick. Wonder how often the kids were locked in there considering it had a sink and toilet. Second level freak. So fake not knowing the code.

    From the news story both of them only got sentenced to 4 years, and the dad is trying to get custody when he probably knew this was happening and wasn’t around for them. 4 years which they might serve 2, they already have parole meeting set up for September….
