The One-Hour Special Takes Viewers Inside the Turpin Children's Shocking Story of Survival, Only To Have To Go Through It All Again

ABC News Studios*

The story of the Turpin family first shocked the world in 2018 - 13 children between the ages of 2 and 29 were saved from a California house of horror after 17-year-old Jordan Turpin made a daring escape into a completely unknown world and called 911. The siblings suffered a lifetime of atrocious abuse and imprisonment at the hands of their own parents. Diane Sawyer was the first to bring viewers inside the experience when she interviewed two of the Turpin daughters in 2021, including the sister who risked her life to save her family.

Now, three more Turpin siblings -- who have never spoken before -- are coming forward to tell the stories of their past and the shocking story of what happened when half of the siblings entered the foster care system. For the first time, we hear the brand new story of how the horror, unbelievably, happened to them a second time in a foster home where they were supposed to be safe and how they ended up having to rescue themselves for a second time. "The Turpins: A New House of Horror - A Diane Sawyer Special Event" airs TUESDAY, FEB 3 (10:01-11:00 p.m. EST), on ABC and streams next day on Disney+ and Hulu.

"The Turpins: A New House of Horror - A Diane Sawyer Special Event" is produced by ABC News Studios. David Sloan is senior executive producer, and Christina Ng is executive producer.
