A 17-year-old girl who escaped from a California house of horrors had been planning her bid for freedom for two years, authorities said Thursday.
The detail was revealed at a news conference where it was announced that David and Louise Turpin, whose 13 children were held captive, face life in prison on charges of torture, child abuse and false imprisonment. The father also faces one count of a lewd act on a child.
