April 16, 2025
The man allegedly held captive in a Connecticut home for 20 years is speaking out for the first time. In a written statement, he says "Please call me S." He says he was held against his will since he was 11 years old, only escaping after setting a fire in the house months ago. He claims he's speaking out to "reclaim my life and have a say in how my story is told." He adds, "I am much better and stronger than the day the first responders carried me out of my home."
