| 0:00.0 | Hi there, it's Deppu Roberts. And before we jump into this week's True Crime Vault, I want to let you know about a special new program airing on ABC about a story that we're going to revisit. My colleague Diane Sawyer is bringing us a fascinating update on the Turpin family. Now, you may remember the Turpins first shocked the world in 2018 when 13 children were saved from a house of |
| 0:24.7 | horror where they had suffered a lifetime of abuse and imprisonment. Well, Diane was the first to bring |
| 0:30.6 | viewers inside their experience when she interviewed two of the Turpin daughters and now three |

| 1:57.0 | Do you know what street you're on? |
