The Turpins eventually moved to California, where, on January 14, 2018, Louise and David were arrested when their 17-year-old daughter reportedly escaped from the home and called 911. When police arrived, they say they found children chained to the beds and learned that the kids, ages 2-29, were only allowed to shower once a year, were not allowed to use the bathroom and could only wash their hands up to their wrists. The Turpins are facing 37 felony counts of torture, false imprisonment and child abuse and if convicted, could each face 94 years in prison. They have entered not guilty pleas.
