A new sickening allegation has emerged from the alleged shackling case in California.
David Allen Turpin, 57, and Louise Turpin, 49, were arrested recently after sheriff’s deputies in Perris found their 13 children shackled inside their home.
The couple had apparently kept their children under lock and key except for occasional and brief forays out into the world, where they were closely watched and never noticed enough for anyone to call the authorities.
But accounts from family and neighbors have been emerging that show there was an awareness of the family’s oddities. The latest is Louise’s sister Elizabeth Jane Flores coming forward to say David often entered the shower when she was in there showering.
The encounters happened when she lived with the couple for a few months while she was attending college.
Flores said she followed the strict “rules” in the household and kept quiet about David Turpin watching her while she was naked because she was “young” and “scared” at the time.
The revelation comes shortly after another of Louise Turpin’s sisters said she didn’t know what motivated her sister to treat her children that way.
“She was, like, just coughing, acting a little weird, just, like, kept looking,” the neighbor added.
