The room that he was allowed to remain in, the room where he was being held, At one point he was held in a bedroom, then he was held in a storage room. It becomes more and more like a cell, basically. Right, and when the fire department and the ambulance comes in the night of the fire, the room that he had been occupying that had the slide bolt lock on the door

was a storage room that they described as being roughly eight by nine feet. And that it had some sort of, you know, angular ceiling. Presumably it was like, you know, top floor of the house. And it was, but it gave the effect of really being much more like a cell than a bedroom or a living space.

No, there were accounts in the local paper, accounts from neighbors that said that the neighbors didn't even know that there was a son in the family. Apparently they knew that there were daughters. And of course begs the question, why is one child in a home treated differently than others? But they see daughters coming and going, but they don't see a son ever.

You know, police have been, on the one hand, they've been very eager to share the details of the story that the son told about his life in captivity in order to allow them to effectuate the charging and arrest of the stepmother. Mm-hmm. On the other hand, we still don't have a lot of details. And because the victim thankfully has survived, and he is an adult, there are privacy rules.

So there is a limit to what they're allowed to say about his medical condition and other things. And there's also a limit to what police tend to want to say in general in a case where they have an active prosecution. As best as we can piece this together, it seems that Sullivan, the stepmother of the alleged victim, she has married the alleged victim's father, his biological father.

The father is somebody who is wheelchair bound at a certain point, seriously debilitated. In the home at various points also, we understand that Sullivan has two daughters who come and go. It's not clear that they lived there, but they're around, they're seen by neighbors. And it's not clear that there was anybody living in the home besides Sullivan and the stepson at the time of the fire.

All of that is going to come out as the investigation develops and the prosecution gives more information because we know that the father died. It did appear that his father did give the alleged victims some more liberties to be out of the room and to be able to be out in the house, but it's not clear how much that was.

There's no evidence that the welfare checks continued. That really is one of the terrible parts of this terrible story. And by the way, this is not unique to this one terrible story. We have covered... people held in captivity previously, and we've done extensive work on this issue, and it's almost like these people just fall off the radar. And let's look at this.
