Kimberly Sullivan called to report a fire, which her 32-year-old stepson later claimed he intentionally started to escape her alleged abuse and 20 years of captivity.

The night a fire broke out at Kimberly Sullivan's Waterbury home was the night her stepson was found, reportedly held in captivity for 20 years.

Police say the Connecticut man used hand sanitizer and a lighter to set the fire as a way to draw first responders and escape being locked in his room for two decades.
