Turpin sisters describe living in 'house of horrors': 'I thought I was going to die'

Jennifer and Jordan Turpin share their stories for the first time.

After enduring more than a decade of horrific abuse and captivity, Jennifer Turpin and her 12 siblings had just watched California sheriff’s deputies take their parents away in handcuffs.

The frail and malnourished Turpin children were now in a hospital, where they received food, clean clothes, medical treatment, kindness from strangers -- things the siblings rarely, or in some cases never, had before.

Looking around her hospital room that January morning, Jennifer Turpin realized for the first time they were finally free, and she danced.

“Music was playing, I got up,” Jennifer Turpin, now 33, told ABC News' Diane Sawyer in an exclusive interview. “I made sure there was a little bit of a floor cleared out and I danced.”
