He appears to be the only male member of the club.

True in Perris (where you link leads) and in Murrieta, as well, with a Del Taco on Scott Road open 24/7. They could have been going there.

The 2:00 AM closing times of the Taco Bells on Fridays and Saturdays do lend credence to the fast-food theory of the late-night van runs. Maybe that was their Friday tradition, or every other Friday. It's the least far-fetched thing I can think of at the moment.

Ah, I didn't think of restaurants. Taco Bells: Madison Avenue 01:00 AM Winchter Rd 01:00 AM (2:00 on fri/sat) Los Alamos Rd 12:30 AM McDonalds: The 3 locations in town all seem to close too early (latest is midnight). TGIFridays is open until 12:30, and we know from the Dr. Oz show that...

The Wal-Mart in Murrieta closes at midnight. Target closes at 11:00 AM. Vons grocery store at midnight. Albertsons grocery store at midnight. Ralphs grocery store at midnight. There is a 24 Hour Fitness in the town, though children under about 16 are not allowed on the floor, and we know...

If Mr. Clifford's recollection of the times and the information about David Turpin working second shift are both correct, then Turpin would be taking the kids out somewhere in the van right after he got back from work.

So can we talk about the nighttime van thing? Other nights, he [Mike Clifford] saw the siblings getting into a van with their father, he told the Times. Again, he wondered why, but didn't suspect anything horrendous...

It could simply be that two years ago, the children sensed that what was happening was wrong (maybe after witnessing a particularly horrible bout of abuse) and finally decided that enough was enough. They may have begun expressing among themselves the desire to somehow get out of their...

Ah, thank you. I had not watched the video, just read the accompanying article. For others who prefer reading to watching, the exact quote by the news anchor is That 17-year-old sibling had only been on social media for a few weeks when she began chatting with a man who told her what's...

The seven adult children are now living together in at an undisclosed location in rural California, and have been reunited with their family dog, Osborn told ABC. http://time.com/5205200/house-of-horrors-siblings-freedom/

ElizabethAnne, that information was not in the text of the ABC article linked above. Can you please link to the story that says that? I would be interested to read it.

Satch, jash posted the information about note-passing in this forum: He posted this link https://www.ctv.ca/Dr-Oz/Video/S9E116-True-Crime-House-of-Horrors-Parents-Of-The-Tortured-13-Kids-Speak-Out-From-Jail-Exclusive--Part-1-vid1257357 to the show, but the video is not viewable outside of...

California does have the death penalty. However, it would not be applied unless there were evidence of an actual death, which, considering the frailty of the children and the prolonged abuse combined with the filth found in the Turpins' former homes, is a possibility. You can imagine that a...

Legally, is there no way to prevent this kind of note-passing contact? The defense certainly has grounds for objection to this behavior since it could allow the couple to "get their story straight" and undermine any facts that might come to light through separate interviewing.

Looks like the 17-year-old survivor is not the first in the family to sing on YouTube, which we know thanks to SATA's save. The children's cousin blogged after a 2011 visit to the Turpin family that the oldest daughter had written over 100 songs. The cousin recorded and posted three of them on...
