Episode Details

A father locked his six adult kids in isolation for over a decade, convinced they were “unclean” and the apocalypse was coming—leading to starvation, abuse, and one child confined to a dog kennel. After son Jan escaped and exposed the horror, authorities found the siblings, aged 18–25, living in cages under the house, speaking a secret language and never having left. An Austrian handyman aided them, but was acquitted; Van Dorsten, now stroke-ridden, faces charges of unlawful detention and abuse, while prosecutors reveal the youngest six were kept isolated from birth.
