Many reports say that the children were fed once a day but not enough to sustain them. If the parents ate at Taco Bell and had Pizza once a day.........I wonder what she was feeding the children in their 'once a day' meal. If she didn't know how to cook or was too lazy to cook, maybe she only...

If and when this case goes to trial, I'm sure the prosecution will have pictures of the filth in the Perris house to show the jury the living conditions the children were being forced to live in. I hope someone saves this video to show the 'before and after' of the house. Maybe the prosecution...

Yesterday, the District Attorney made just a few remarks on GMA. He said words to the effect that the children were doing well and working with LE providing good information and would be testifying in the future. I took that to mean that the children, both minor and adult, are being...

I feel bad for those children/adults as I'm sure it was very frightening for them to have strangers in their house and not know what the outcome might be. Since some didn't know what a policeman was, they had no idea that they were there to help them. I imagine some of the children might have...

Murrieta is in Riverside County, which shares aa border with Los Angeles County

When I read that they were planning a move, I thought they would likely seek somewhere they could maintain a low profile and it occurred to me how close they really are to an area where they could find some isolated place. Very scary thought!

When they left Texas, they left behind dogs and cats to starve in the house. When the neighbor child, Ashley, opened the door two dogs ran out. Ashley said the dumpster 'smelled of death.' She found a live kitten in the dumpster and kept it. She also reported hearing whimpering coming from...

The city of Perris in on Interstate 215. If the Turpins traveled north to Riverside and then to San Bernadino, and over the Cajon Pass, they'd be in the high desert. Throughout that area there's small towns and large parcels of property miles from anywhere. There's some abandoned homes too...

I had assumed that the 17-year-old only had the cell phone with her and that the pictures were on the cell phone because the articles on her escape only mention the cell phone. The articles don't say 'the cell phone and pictures.' But maybe I do have it wrong and she did have pictures in...

I really like the Riverside District Attorney, Michael Hestrin. His facial expressions show his compassion for the victims. Although it might seem that he didn't say a lot, he did convey some good information. All the children are still in the hospital. He's confident that some of the...

I've envisioned it much the same way. I checked Google maps and note that if the 17-year-old that escaped walked up the street two houses, she would be at the corner of another street. I bet she turned the corner and walked down that street to be out of view of the Turpin house......just in...

I hope the District Attorney's office appoints a guardian ad litem for the children to represent them in any hearings. I don't know the law in this matter, but since there's adult children and minor children, there might have to be two guardians ad litem appointed.

I think professionals gaining the children's complete trust will take time. As you said, they've probably been taught to distrust anyone outside the family. So it's going to take patience on the part of the professionals to go easy. I've thought too about the probability of any of the...

It's been a week today. I would imagine that the first few days after their rescue were devoted to medical exams and tests. When the doctors determined that law enforcement could begin more in depth interviews with the victims, I would think that the investigators would proceed carefully. I...

I don't think we'll hear any updates from the sheriff or DA unless something new happens. But because there's so much interest in this case the hospital might give a brief, generic, update..........something along the lines of "all are doing well, gaining weight, enjoying learning new things", etc.

Thanks you so much!

Excellent question. I've lived in several neighborhoods and in each there's never been a question about a particular neighbor. We've known all the neighbors, at least to say 'hello' to, and have known their children. We've never known a situation where we were concerned about a neighbor's...

A friend in another state took her grandson into a Krispy Kreme for his birthday because he said he wanted a special Krispy Kreme. My friend told the clerk it was her grandson's birthday and he could pick out any donut he wanted. The clerk gave him a hat like the one shown in the KK...

It's my understanding that the Turpin house was new construction in a new housing tract in 2014. A builder will typically build a model of each of the floorplans of the houses that are being built, and hire a staging company to come in and stage the models for buyers. The model homes will...

I noticed that too. But when I went to the Google map and 'drove' down the street, I saw that the area has grown a LOT since that thumbnail shot was taken. Muir Woods Road now ends many houses down in a cul-de-sac. But what was of interest to me is that just a couple of houses away from the...
