Franke’s 12-year-old son escaped the house that morning and asked a neighbour to call police, according to the 911 call released by the St. George Police Department.
As the dispatcher was asking questions, the boy said he didn’t know where his mom was and that his dad was not in the area. The boy said two siblings, ages 10 and 14, were still at Hildebrandt’s house.

It’s unclear why the children were at Hildebrandt’s home.
