1:29:51Now PlayingIn Waterbury, Connecticut, a 32-year-old man was allegedly held captive by his stepmother, Kimberly Sullivan, for OVER 20 years!... starting when he was approximately 11 years old. On February 17, 2025, he intentionally set fire to his upstairs room to escape, telling first responders, "I wanted my freedom." Emergency services rescued him from the burning home, where he was found severely emaciated, weighing only 68 pounds, and suffering from smoke inhalation. Sullivan, 56, was arrested on March 12, 2025, and charged with multiple offenses, including kidnapping, cruelty, and assault. Police investigations revealed the man endured prolonged abuse, starvation, severe neglect, and inhumane treatment, confined to a small room with limited food, water, and no medical or dental care. Sullivan’s attorney denies the allegations, claiming she provided food and shelter, but she is currently held on a $300,000 bond. The case has been described as "heartbreaking and unimaginable" by Waterbury Police Chief Fernando Spagnolo.
Let's deep dive this case and watch the press conference from this morning together!
