Man who says he was held captive in Connecticut home for 20 years makes his first public comments
A man who told police that he was held captive in a Connecticut home by his father and stepmother and given limited food for 20 years before being rescued is thanking medical staff for holding what he called his first-ever birthday party as he turned 32. A nonprofit group, Survivors Say, released a statement by the man, who was pulled by firefighters on Feb. 17 from a burning Waterbury home that police say he set on fire in a desperate attempt to win his freedom. Survivors Say says it offers support and resources to survivors, victims and families after tragedies.
