365: The Curious Case of Natalia Grace (From our Patreon Feed)

On January 14, 2018, 17-year-old Jordan Turpin did the unthinkable: She broke out of the home where she and her 12 siblings were being heled prisoner by their parents, and, using a stolen cell phone, she called 911. 90 minutes later, police entered the home and discovered a horror that's almost impossible to imagine: Children chained to beds, living in filth, emaciated from years of malnutrition. The decades-long nightmare was over, but how on Earth had these parents been able to conceal their abuses for so long?

On November 3, 2016, authorities found 30 year old Kala Brown handcuffed to a pipe inside a storage container on property owned by popular local real estate agent Todd Kohlepp. Kohlepp had kept the missing woman as his prisoner for 65 days. A few hundred feet away, the authorities found the buried bodies of four other missing people--and they would soon discover that Kohlepp was also responsible for an unsolved quadruple homicide nearly two decades earlier. How had this monster stayed hidden in plain sight for so long? And how many other bodies would they find?
