The article from WTAP, dated April 1, 2025, discusses the release of disturbing photos from a "house of horrors" in Milwaukee, where a man was allegedly held captive by his stepmother for 20 years. The photos, released by the Milwaukee Police Department, reveal the squalid conditions inside the home, including a small, locked room where the victim was confined. The 57-year-old victim, identified only as "John," was discovered by police after a neighbor reported hearing screams from the house. The stepmother, 72-year-old Jane Smith, has been arrested and charged with multiple counts of kidnapping, false imprisonment, and abuse. The case has shocked the community and drawn national attention to the issue of elder abuse and the importance of checking on vulnerable neighbors.
