The Washington County Attorney's Office released 29 videos and a slew of other files related to the case on Friday, more than a month after Franke and Hildebrandt, a mental health counselor, were sentenced to prison for physically and emotionally abusing Franke’s children.
In handwritten journal entries also released Friday, Franke chronicles months of daily abuse that included starving her son and 9-year-old daughter, forcing them to work for hours in the summer heat and isolating them from the outside world. The women often made the kids sleep on hard floors and sometimes locked them in a concrete bunker in Hildebrandt’s basement.The boy and Franke's daughter, who was also found at Hildebrandt's house, were taken to the hospital.
