Kidnapped girl resurfaces after 18 years.

I couldn't read the whole thing. I just can't imagine having to live through something like that. And now is only the beginning. Those poor kids and the mother have to try to fit into a normal routine when they haven't the foggiest idea what it's like out here. They might be in therapy for ages and still be marked for life and not able to relate to our world. Too sad for words. I hope that sick couple get what's coming to them and not just another slap on the wrist. I think the other prisoners would take care of them fine and give them what they deserve.

To live in Prison they'd have to be in solitary.

Even in solitary the prisoners tend to find ways to get to people the want to.

Life sentences, and they won't last long. Death sentence appeals are expensive.

Yup your right.. I forgot if they are on death row then they get confined.. Ok just give them life & hope the prisoners take care of the rest.. Also I just read where the Father of the man that did the kidnapping States his son is crazy from being on LSD drug too long.. He said he has not seen his son in years..

Those were sightings by neighbors, so they may have been mistaken.

I am sure the whole compound will now, finally, be searched. It is sad, the original girl and now her daughters will need years and years if not a lifetime of work to repair the damage this man - and his wife - have done to them.

Similar to Fritzl? (IIRC) in Austria.

The psychiatrists are in for one hell of a fight to achieve anything resembling normal kids at this point.

Hopefully the rest of the family can support them and help them get to a somewhat normal life.

No education from the time she was kidnapped, no checkups at the doctor or dentist for her or for her children, aside from the daily horror that she lived. Prison is too good for these people.

Let's hope! It doesn't sound like law enforcement in that area has been too "on top of things" for the past 18 years

When I read this I couldn't understand how he could live in a neighborhood like Antioch and not be discovered by neighbors. Housing in that area is very compact and yards are only separated by fences. I did a Google Earth of 1554 Walnut Avenue Antioch and it shows the tent city very clearly in the back yard. The reason more neighbors were not involved is because the property is flanked on two sides by commercial property. There was only one neighbor that had visual access to his tent city. I believe the police were still responsible for not catching this guy years ago.

I read earlier that the neighbor lady questioned the tents but her husband basically told her they should mind they're own business and not get involved. They could hear the kids outside playing.

I guess everyone has heard by now the story that this pervert is giving the police/public. He says he's turned his life around after the birth of the first daughter and what the public will discover about this story will be heartwarming. I'm not seeing anything heartwarming about it.

His own family says he's crazy.

I'll pray for the young mother and her two young girls. What a life they've had.

Has anyone heard what his wife's part was in this nightmare?
