 Authorities say this house Muir Woods Road in a middle-class suburban neighborhood of Perris was dark and foul-smelling inside, with several children shackled to their beds as their parents allegedly held their 13 children, ages 2 to 29, captive. When Police Officers from the Perris Police Department and Deputies from the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department met with the juvenile, she appeared to be only 10 years old and slightly emaciated. Further investigation revealed several children shackled to their beds with chains and padlocks in dark and foul-smelling surroundings, but the parents were unable to immediately provide a logical reason why their children were restrained in that manner. The victims appeared dirty and malnourished, the release said, and were so emaciated that deputies were shocked to discover that while all looked like children, they actually ranged in age from 2 to 29; six of them were minors and seven were 18 or older. David Allen Turpin, 56, and Louise Ann Turpin, 49, were each arrested on suspicion of nine counts of torture and 10 counts of child endangerment, online jail records show.

 David Turpin is listed as the principal of the Sandcastle Day School, according to the California Department of Education website. An investigation began after a 17-year-old girl "escaped" from her home in the 100 block of Muir Woods Road and called 911 early Sunday morning to report that her 12 brothers and sisters were being held captive by their parents, according to a sheriff's news release. After interviewing the teen, investigators went to the residence and contacted her parents, identified as 56-year-old David Allen Turpin and 49-year-old Louise Anna Turpin, according to the release. The six children were eventually transported to the Riverside University Hospital System (RUHS) for medical examinations and admitted for treatment. Both parents were detained and interviewed while child and adult protectives services responded to assist in the investigation, the release stated. Anyone with additional information regarding this investigation is encouraged to contact Master Investigator Tom Salisbury at the Perris Station by calling (951) 210-1000, or by email at PerrisStation@RiversideSheriff.org David and Louise Turpin appear to have had marriage-renewal ceremonies at least three times, in 2011, 2013 and 2015, at the Elvis Chapel in Las Vegas. Images posted to the account in 2016 show the couple at what looks like a wedding ceremony, accompanied by 13 apparent children. There’s a baby in a frilly pink dress and nine other girls in matching pink and purple plaid dresses, while three boys have on black suits and magenta ties, their hair cut in mop-tops like David’s. California records indicate a David Turpin is the principal of Sandcastle Day School, a private school that is located in the 100 block of Muir Woods Road in Perris.

– An ordinary house in a California subdivision concealed a bizarre and disturbing case of torture and child abuse, police say. In a press release, the Riverside County Sheriff's Office says a 17-year-old girl called 911 early Sunday morning after escaping a home in Perris and told police her 12 siblings were being held captive by their parents. Police say that inside the residence, they found several malnourished and dirty children "shackled to their beds with chains and padlocks in dark and foul-smelling surroundings"—and parents David and Louise Turpin were "unable to provide a logical reason" why they were restrained. Investigators initially thought the couple's 13 children were all juveniles, but they were shocked to discover that seven were adults and the oldest was 29. David Turpin, 57, and Louise Turpin, 49, were arrested on charges of torture and child endangerment and are being held on a $9 million bond each, the Los Angeles Times reports. The 13 victims—the youngest just 2 years old—were hospitalized. Police say they gave them food after they said they were starving. Horrified neighbors tell the Press-Enterprise that they had no idea what was going on. Some didn't even know there were children in the house. A joint Facebook page shows the Turpins, accompanied by their children, renewing their wedding vows in Las Vegas. A 2011 bankruptcy filing seen by CNN states that David Turpin made $140,000 per year working as an engineer at Northrup Grumman. He is listed as principal of the Sandcastle Day School, a private school with just six students, at his Perris address, KTLA reports.
