Teresa recalled that this was the first time she ever noted her parents switching sides — her father wasn’t outraged, rather, told his wife that they should let their 16-year-old daughter live the life she seemingly wanted. Feces adorned the carpets as the Turpin parents didn’t always allow their kids to go to the bathroom. The Turpin children had even been chained or tied to their beds rather frequently. An ABC documentary broadcast in November found that life had not improved much for most of the 13 Turpin siblings after they were removed from their parents' residence in January 2018. Prosecutors said the deal would likely keep them in prison for the rest of their lives and spare the children from testifying. Other than an occasional family trip to Las Vegas or Disneyland, they rarely left the home.

There was clearly a lasting rift between Louise and her parents, presumably from the trust being broken so viciously and early on in her life. His parents, James and Betty Turpin, told ABC News that their son had become a computer engineer upon graduating from university. The 1984 Bugle yearbook lists him as a senior electrical engineering major, and as a member of the electrical and computer engineering honor society, Eta Kappa Nu. The abusive patriarch of the Turpin family had a rather promising childhood and early career, Collegiate Times reported. As a Virginia Tech University alumni who studied computer engineering, he reportedly worked for both Lockheed Martin and General Dynamics before retiring in 2012.

Starved, beaten and chained for months at a time, those are just some of the abuses endured by the children of the Turpin family. His wife, meanwhile, was listed as a “homemaker” with the Perris residence and its function as a school serving as the hub of her educational role to the 13 students. This sordid lifestyle for the Turpin family continued for years until one winter day in January of 2018, their 17-year-old daughter finally blew the whistle. The children spent most of their time in the house but would occasionally take family trips, including one where they went to Las Vegas for their parents' vow renewal. Two of the Turpin sisters, who along with their 11 siblings were held captive for years before escaping in 2018, are speaking out for the first time about the abuse they endured.

Marcel becomes obsessed with Joan, a beautiful female reporter who believes the deaths are related. When Marcel invites her over and she sees Marcel's sculpture of the Creeper, she suspects that Marcel knows the killer. Later, Marcel decides that Joan knows too much and commands the Creeper to kill her. The Creeper is reluctant to do so, however, when he discovers that Marcel plans to turn him over to the police. The Creeper kills Marcel, and is about to kill Joan when he is shot by the police. “I can assure you that, behind the closed doors and when the curtains go down at night, there’s a lot more going on in that head,” Zektser told The Post of Jordan’s trauma.

They were mainly kept in their rooms except for meals, which had been reduced to one per day, a combination of lunch and dinner. "I never intended for any harm to come to my children," the statement said. "I'm sorry if I've done anything to cause them harm. I'm glad we were able to resolve this case without my children being forced to testify."

On Wednesday evening, a Columbia spokesperson said rumors that the university had threatened to bring in the National Guard were unfounded. Dane Urquhart, a third-year Texas student, called the police presence and arrests an “overreaction,” adding that the protest “would have stayed peaceful” if the officers had not turned out in force. Police officers encircled the dwindling group, which sat in defiance of an earlier warning to disperse or be arrested.

The Turpin girls were told that if they did not comply with the defendants' demands, they would not be able to see their older siblings again, court papers allege. According to investigators, Marcelino allegedly kissed the victims and told them not to wear undershirts. There were other alleged acts of touching the children, whom the defendants also encouraged to fight, according to court documents. It alleges that Marcelino Olguin fixed his attention on the sisters, while another girl, identified only by the initials "J.P.,'' was physically abused by the defendants, but not sexually assaulted.

"Sometimes, I still have nightmares of things that have happened, like my siblings getting chained up or beaten," said one of the Turpins' sons in an impact statement he read to the courtroom. Hestrin said the abuse the couple’s children faced intensified over time, as the family moved first from the Fort Worth area in Texas, in 2010, to Murrieta, California, and then to Perris in 2014. “What started out as neglect became severe, pervasive, prolonged child abuse,” Hestrin said. Uffer told PEOPLE the adult children — five girls and two boys between the ages of 18 and 29 — “are actually pretty stable” considering what they have been through. “We are keeping them all together; we have tried to recreate a positive family environment for them so they are with their siblings, and they appear to be doing well in that environment,” he said. Following their discoveries at the Turpin home, authorities took parents David and Louise (left and right) into custody and charged both with a dozen counts of torture, among other criminal accusations, to which they pleaded not guilty.

Jordan's plan to contact authorities was more than two years in the making and culminated as the family was planning a move from California to Oklahoma. “My plan was, okay, while we're on the trip and in a crowd, I’m going to sneak out and call 911," Jordan told PEOPLE. Prepare, too, for a likely European rupture and trade war, a Nato split and an unravelling of 75 years of transatlantic collaboration. Prepare for an out-of-control global arms race, unchecked nuclear weapons proliferation on Earth and in space and the wholesale abandonment of climate crisis goals.

It was Jordan Turpin who managed to escape on Jan. 14, 2018, and call 911, freeing herself and her siblings from the family’s house of horrors in Perris, California. On Jan. 14, 2018, 17-year-old Jordan escaped from her family’s home in Perris, Calif. and called authorities. After police arrived, they discovered that Jordan's parents, David and Louise, had been severely abusing their 13 children to varying degrees for years. The Haddonfield, Illinois residence where a young Michael Myers murdered his sister in John Carpenter's original Halloween (1978) is actually located in South Pasadena. Abandoned at the time of the filming, it was later remodeled and moved a few blocks north from its original location.

As more children were born, Jennifer said neglect from their parents turned into physical abuse, and they would use parts of the Bible to explain their behavior. The most outspoken of the Turpin siblings, Jordan has been focused on healing from her horrific experiences with both her parents and foster parents. She moved into a new home in 2023 with her four guinea pigs and four dogs.

In November, she opened up to PEOPLE about her past year and hopes for the future. Her siblings were distressed by their mother’s behavior, which prompted Jordan to make her call earlier than she planned. "The night I left was not expected. I was pushed to that point. I literally thought we were gonna die," Jordan recalled to PEOPLE.

While tensions rose between police and protesters at USC earlier in the day, in the evening a few dozen demonstrators standing in a circle with locked arms were detained one by one without incident. More acutely than any moment since Oct. 7, the rest of us have been forced to reckon with the conflict, and all the personal horrors and cultural antipathy it has symbolized and engendered, because suddenly it is in our backyards. If students want to have a real impact on what their universities or the U.S. government fund, they need to ensure that no one is using their demonstrations to spew hate. The best way to convince doubters that people can be pro-Palestinian and not antisemitic is to prove it. As sprawling pro-Palestinian protests and encampments escalate on university campuses across the United States, administrators respond with more discipline.
