Shocking new footage shows the moment the Turpin family kids were rescued from their home, where their parents kept them chained to beds.
Shocking, never-before-seen footage shows the moment the Turpin family kids were rescued from their “House of Horrors” where they were chained to beds and beaten by their wicked parents.
Two of the siblings are set to speak out about their horrific experiences in an exclusive 20/20 interview that airs on November 19, The Sun reports.
Bodycam footage shows the moment cops enter the California property in January 2018 before the children were finally freed.
In the clip, twisted parents David and Louise Turpin are asked how many kids they have when quizzed by cops. They both say “13”.
Officers discover two of the kids in chains shackled to the bed.
One cop says: “Sarge we’ve got another room in the front right here with two kiddos in the bed.”
Officers discovered chains dangling from what appears to be a bunk bed.
Jordan Turpin, then 17, escaped the home via a window and told cops that her siblings were being abused and they lived in filth.
She exclusively told ABC reporter Diane Sawyer: “My whole body was shaking. I couldn’t really dial 911 because … I think it was us coming close to death so many times.”
Jordan told cops that her two younger sisters had been chained on their bed.
She feared her parents “would want to kill her” if they realised she had left the family home.
Another sibling, who is unnamed, branded their living conditions “hell”.
One daughter, identified as Jane Doe No. 4, said her parents had taken “her whole life away”, but she was reclaiming it, PEOPLE reports.
She said: “They almost changed me but I realised what was happening and I immediately did what I could to not become like them.”
The unnamed daughter said she’s a fighter and she’s “shooting through life like a rocket”.
The kids lived off bologna and peanut butter sandwiches while their parents were allowed to eat takeaways.
They weren’t allowed to exercise and were also banned from socialising with each other.
‘Torment’
David and Louise Turpin tormented the kids by leaving out apple and pumpkin pies.
The wicked parents also bought their children toys but refused to let them open them, NBC reports.
Cops revealed in court that the kids were only allowed to shower once a year.
In a statement through his lawyer, before he was sentenced, David Turpin said: “I never intended for any harm to come to my children”.
The statement concluded: “I hope the very best for my children in their future.”
David, then 57, and Louise, 50, were sentenced to 25 years behind bars for the hideous abuse and imprisonment of their kids.
The pair was nabbed in January 2018 and later pleaded guilty to abusing and imprisoning their children in their home.
They pleaded guilty to 14 counts including cruelty to an adult-dependent, child cruelty, torture, and false imprisonment.
In 2020, Riverside County Deputy District lawyer Kevin Beecham revealed that the siblings are “moving on with their lives”.
He told PEOPLE: “Some of them are living independently, living in their apartment and have jobs and are going to school. Some volunteer in the community. They go to church.”
The lawyer said the younger siblings are able to “rebound better” as they “didn’t have as many years of abuse and neglect”.
He revealed that some of the siblings had changed their names but said they still meet with each other.
Escape from a House of Horror – A Diane Sawyer Special Event airs on 20/20 on November 19.
