UPCOMING EPISODES

From the outside looking in the Turpin family seemed normal enough, but a phone call in January 2018 changed everything. One of their thirteen children escaped from captivity and exposed the dark secrets of what had been happening inside the Turpin family household for decades. Systematic torture and abuse within the walls of the Turpin home are just the tip of the iceberg as those closest to the family make sense of this tragedy. Hear firsthand accounts from those who knew them best, and learn how blindsided even they were to the horrors taking place. Were the Turpins mentally ill, or sadistic psychopaths? Why didn’t the children seek help sooner? And perhaps most importantly, can you ever really know what’s going on behind closed doors?
