Crime Alert, I'm Nancy Grace, breaking crime news now. An 11-year-old boy in Connecticut

hidden away from the world by a stepmom after his father dies. Kimberly Sullivan allegedly holds

her stepson captive in their Waterbury home, isolating him from the world and rationing food.

A neighbor reports seeing a little boy in the window. He waves, she waves, she looks away, then he's gone.

She never sees him again. Age 14 or 15, he stops leaving the house entirely. Sullivan reportedly liking

him in an 8 by 9 foot room, no heat, no AC, starving him, and just allowing him two cups of

water a day. Nancy, the now 32-year-old

man escaped his captivity by setting a fire in the room. While Sullivan escaped unharmed, he suffered

burns and smoke inhalation, resulting in hospitalization. The man was severely emaciated, weighing

just 70 pounds at 5 foot 9, with matted hair and decaying teeth.

The man says he was only allowed out of the room for maybe a minute a day and had not bathed

or used an actual toilet in years. He had to devise a way to relieve himself using a makeshift

funnel made from straws to direct urine out the window. Kimberly Sullivan now facing charges of kidnap and cruelty.
