The Family Next Door: The Heartbreaking Imprisonment of the 13 Turpin Siblings and Their Extraordinary Rescue Audiobook (Free)

From New York Times bestselling true crime author John Glatt comes the devastating story of the Turpins: a seemingly normal family whose dark secrets would shock and captivate the world.

On January 14, 2018, a seventeen-year-old young lady climbed out of the home window of her Perris, California house and dialed 911 with shaking fingers. Struggling to remain calm, she told the operator that she and her twelve siblings-ranging in age group from two to twenty-nine-were getting abused by their parents. When the dispatcher asked for her address, the girl hesitated. ‘I’ve hardly ever been out,’ she stammered.

To their family, neighbors, and online friends, Louise and David Turpin provided an image of domestic bliss: dressing their thirteen children in coordinating outfits and buying them expensive gifts. But what law enforcement discovered when they got into the Turpin family home would eclipse the most shocking child abuse instances in history.

In the initial major account from the case, investigative journalist and author John Glatt delves into the disturbing details and recounts the bravery from the thirteen siblings in the face of unimaginable horror.
