About this episode

Retired Detective Thomas Salisbury discusses the horrific conditions found in an Ohio home and compares it to the Turpin case.

Sixteen children were found inside a rural Hamden, Ohio home in conditions officials described as “pure evil,” and four adults inside the family are now charged: Gary Siders Sr., 73; his wife, Christina Siders, 67; their son, Gary Siders Jr., 36; and his wife, Elizabeth Siders, 33. In this episode of Drop Dead Serious, Ashleigh is joined by retired Riverside County Detective Thomas Salisbury, the detective who helped rescue the 13 Turpin children from their California house of horrors, to discuss why he believes the Ohio case may be even worse and what investigators may be doing now.
