And we're actually going to take a quick break right here. But when we come back, we're going to hear about what life was allegedly like behind that closed door.

All right. We are back with ABC's chief investigative reporter, Josh Margolin. So, Josh, once Kimberly Sullivan is allegedly holding her stepson like this in captivity, what is that like? I guess, like, is there allegedly a routine or is he just in the room all day or do we know?
