Waterbury police released additional body camera footage and images from the night of Feb. 17, which triggered an investigation into what officials believe was a two-decade long captive situation.

It started with a response to a 911 call to a house fire that homeowner Kimberly Sullivan said started in the room her stepson was sleeping in.

In previously released body camera footage, Sullivan was seen yelling at firefighters that her stepson was still inside the house when they arrived. Responders then carried him out to the ambulance.

Police have said he weighed only 68 pounds, and once he was inside the ambulance, he began telling them that he started the fire on purpose to escape being locked in a tiny room for 20 years with hardly anything to eat.

While much of the new footage of the victim inside the ambulance has been blurred and the audio was cut, officers are heard after the door was closed saying the victim "says he hasn't had a shower in over a year. He has dirt all over him."

Officers tried to get eyes on Sullivan, with one saying "We already got all her info. I just don't want her to (expletive) go anywhere."

"We don't have enough to really detain her," another officer responds.

While trying to find her, an officer is heard on the phone saying, "She already took off. It was a black Acura."

Officers begin discussing Sullivan's plate number and based on the time stamp on the body camera, it appears they found her about an hour later sitting in a parking lot.

After approaching her window and identifying himself, an officer begins asking Sullivan first about her stepson's account of the fire before moving on to some of the other accusations.

"Was the door locked in his room or no?" the officer asked.

After Sullivan says "no," the officer asks, "Is it normally locked?" She says no again.

"It's normally open? And he has free reign to go out of there whenever he wants?"

"Yeah," she responded.

While police did let Sullivan go after that, they say they continued to look into what her stepson had said before eventually arresting her almost a month later on March 11. She now faces multiple charges – including assault, kidnapping and unlawful restraint.

In addition to the body camera footage, police have also released multiple pictures from inside of the house. They are from after the fire, which made conditions look worse, but still give an idea of how things looked.

Sullivan's lawyer, Ioannis Kaloidis, held a press conference to address the release on Tuesday afternoon, saying he was shocked the video and pictures were put out there.

Kaloidis says there was no reason to release it right now, and that media requests for things like that usually take a lot longer - especially during domestic cases, and especially so early in the process.

"The only thing that we could think of is that it's clearly being done to sway public opinion, as if there weren't enough people rooting against my client already, as if there weren't enough people that had already made up their minds and convicted her," he said.

Kaloidis also did also say he thinks some things from the body cam and pictures actually back up Sullivan's innocence, but says at this point, he will need to find a lot of jurors with open minds, or he will consider a motion to move the trial out of Waterbury.
