Newly-released police body camera footage shows the moment cops raided the California house of horrors where an abusive couple imprisoned, beat and starved their 13 children.
The heartbreaking video was shown for the first time on ABC News Friday night, during an episode of 20/20 where two of the siblings, Jennifer and Jordan Turpin, detailed the staggering abuse at the hands of their parents.
Police responded to the Turpin home in Perris, Calif. Jan. 14, 2018, after Jordan, then-17, courageously snuck out and managed to call 911 on her brother’s mostly disabled cellphone.
Officers knocked on the door of the squalid house for more than two minutes before parents David and Louise Turpin answered.
“We were just in bed,” Louise Turpin said, as cops informed her they were there for a welfare check after getting a call from her daughter, the bodycam footage shows.
Once inside, officers encountered mounds of garbage, feces, moldy food, and swarms of dirty, pale and extremely skinny children.
