Tennessee State Police have arrested the couple Michael and Shirley Gray, after finding a boy inside their cellar in the water and feces trapped for several years, in addition to a skeleton of an 11-year-old girl buried in their backyard garden.
The news that spread in the media shocked the residents of the state and the neighbors who called the house "the house of terror" due to the strange nature of its residents, but indicated that they did not notice anything unnatural.
The husband admitted that, in 2016, he locked the teenage boy in the basement submerged in water and waste, and he has not communicated with anyone from the outside world since then, and he was only eating small amounts of food from white bread and water.
According to the police note, the girl whose skeleton was found was trapped with the boy but died within months and her body was initially placed inside a cardboard box.
American media said that the couple was locking two other children inside a dog holding cage, while the British "Mirror" website indicated that the two children were surprised when they watched a refrigerator for the first time after taking them out of the cage.
The Prosecutor's Office confirmed that the spouses are not the biological parents of children, but they have legal custody of them, and charges of murder, kidnapping and ill-treatment will be charged after the completion of reports from forensic medicine.
