This is somebody whose body was going into physical failure, something called a wasting syndrome, where basically the human body begins to shut down and waste away. In the police reports, there's a comparison, the way that he looks to a Holocaust survivor, like all those terrible images that we saw when the concentration camps were liberated in World War II. You said he's 70 pounds. How old is he?

He was 31 at the time. He's since turned 32, but he had allegedly been in captivity, according to police reports, since the fourth grade, since he was... 11 years old, we're talking about 20 years of being in captivity. I mean, it's the most awful tale of the tape that I could give you. Apparently all of the teeth in his mouth had rotted. And so the teeth are breaking off.

He hadn't showered for the estimate is one or two years. Wow. What do police say they find in the house? Most importantly, for what happens next, the police very quickly see that the door is removed from the room where the man had allegedly been held captive. And the door has what appears to be a slide bolt lock.

They also allegedly find holes in the door and the door frame suggesting that there had been locks, other locks over the course of time. And very clearly in the police affidavit, they say this slide bolt lock is a lock meant to keep somebody in, not to keep somebody out. So this, according to police in a very, very detailed document,

This was a situation where the person, this man who had been kept in this room, was kept captive and unable to control his goings and comings.

ultimately to prosecutors and to the public that the man is fairly clear headed. Certainly his educational level is that of a child. And they talk about his cognitive abilities are that of a child because he basically stopped learning in any real way in the fourth grade. So there are certainly issues, but, but,

he really goes into describing a clear-headed plan that develops in the short period of time before the fire is set and the 911 call is placed. So he had a thing of hand sanitizer that he had gotten his hands on. He also had some paper that he had gotten from the house because there were portions of time

of varying lengths where he was allowed out of the room at different times of the day or the week to do chores. He had found an old lighter and he kept the lighter secretly somehow. And that's not described by police to this point. He keeps the lighter. So out of desperation on this final fateful day, he decides he is going to light this fire.
