YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Authorities in Lancaster, South Carolina say Donnie Ray Birchfield Jr., the son of a Baptist pastor, held four people captive in his basement for years — beating, strangling, and controlling nearly every aspect of their lives. Police discovered the alleged abuse after responding to the unattended death of one victim, later finding three more people confined inside his home, some reportedly held as long as a decade. Birchfield now faces 16 charges, including false imprisonment, domestic violence, exploitation of vulnerable adults, and financial fraud. Law&Crime Chris Stewart is On the Case.
