Eight children. A 35 acre property. "Underground caves" made of mud, and a home prosecutors compared to a city landfill. This week we head to Deming, New Mexico for the case of Valerie and Melvin Cordell, arrested in February 2025 and now facing dozens of combined charges of child abuse and sexual assault. Both have pleaded not guilty. The whole thing came to light because one 16 year old daughter, finally somewhere safe, decided to speak. This is her case as much as theirs.

Content warning: child abuse and sexual assault.
