Where Are the Turpin Siblings Now? Inside Their Lives After Enduring Years of Abuse In the ‘House of Horrors’
Published By admin
In 2018, the 13 Turpin family siblings were rescued from their family home after enduring years of abuse at the hands of their parents: David and Louise Turpin.
It wasn’t until then-17-year-old Jordan Turpin escaped their family’s California home and called 911 that the public learned the awful truth of what David and Louise had inflicted on their children for several years. During the call, she told the operator, “My parents are abusive. My two little sisters right now are chained up … they’re chained up to their bed.”
She continued, “I live in a family of 15 people and our parents are abusive. We live in filth. Sometimes I wake up and can’t breathe because of how dirty the house is.”
The siblings had been imprisoned in a so-called “House of Horrors,” where they were routinely physically, verbally, and mentally abused, chained to their beds, and deprived of food and the ability to exercise. As the details of what the Turpin children survived were shared with the public, many began to wonder how two parents could be so horrible to their own children.
After the extent of David and Louise’s crimes were revealed, several of the Turpin children — who ranged from 2 to 29 at the time of their rescue — were placed in foster care, where many of them were abused by their foster family. David and Louise were eventually convicted on 14 felony counts and sentenced to 25 years to life in prison.
Jordan and her siblings have been carving new lives for themselves ever since. In 2022, she settled into her own apartment in Southern California and told PEOPLE that she remained “very close” to her siblings, who she remained “protective over.”
Now, three of the youngest siblings are speaking out for the first time in a new one-hour special conversation with Diane Sawyer, airing on Feb. 3. Jolinda Turpin shared a teaser on Instagram ahead of the episode and wrote that she felt “blessed to be free.”
From the abuse they endured in the “House of Horrors” to their lives today, here’s everything to know about the Turpin family.
