Basement Smelled “Horrible”: Stunning New Details & Trail of Warning Signs | Ohio House of Horror

New details in the Siders family case are raising even more disturbing questions about the Ohio house of horrors where 16 children were found living in filthy, squalid conditions. Authorities say the children, ranging in age from 20 months to 18 years old, were discovered inside a Hamden, Ohio home after deputies executed a search warrant in a separate investigation. Four adults are charged: Gary Siders Sr., Christina Siders, Gary Siders Jr. and Elizabeth Siders. In this episode of Drop Dead Serious, Ashleigh Banfield breaks down the latest reporting on the Siders family, including hospital birth records, missing school records, truancy complaints, repeated moves across Ohio, the sealed search warrant, and new accounts from people near the home, including claims of a horrible smell coming from the basement and late-night trips to Dollar General. Ashleigh is joined by Angenette Levy, a seasoned journalist and host of Crime Fix on Law&Crime, who went to Hamden, Ohio, spoke with neighbors and local residents, and uncovered new details about the family’s movements, possible warning signs, and the unanswered question at the center of this case: how did 16 children fall through the cracks for years?
