Turpin sisters describe the moment they knew they were free

Nearly four years after their rescue, two of the Turpin children are revealing what it was like to experience freedom after a life in captivity at the hands of their parents.

Sisters Jennifer and Jordan Turpin are telling their story for the first time in an exclusive interview with Diane Sawyer. They are the first of the 13 Turpin children to share their stories. In their interview, the Turpin sisters described how their parents, David and Louise Turpin, would abuse them and their siblings, often beating their children and depriving them of basic needs.

When asked how she is doing today, Jennifer Turpin, now 33, responded with a cheerful laugh and said she is “awesome.”

“I'm doing really good,” Jennifer Turpin said to Sawyer.
