Bodycam footage shows the dramatic moment a man was freed after allegedly being held captive in a single room for 20 years by his stepmother.
The 32-year-old Connecticut native was rescued after he intentionally started a fire in the room he was locked in at his family’s Waterbury home, police said. The man’s identity has been kept anonymous after he was found in an “extremely malnourished conditioning” stemming from his “inhumane treatment” by his captor, authorities said.
