Shocking Bodycam images conquered a man who allegedly set his house on fire to escape from captivity when firefighters resisted.
The images showed First Responders on site in Waterbury, Connecticut on 17 February, after saving Kimberly Sullivan, 56, and her stepson, 32, from her house.
The stepson, who was not mentioned, reportedly told officers that he set his room on fire because he 'wanted freedom', and a little later the images showed firefighters who spoke to each other.
“He says he hasn't had a shower for more than a year,” said one. “There is dirt over him.”
The first respondents discussed the arresting of Sullivan on the spot and said they had left a number of questions after they had spoken with her and her stepson, but gave them that they did not have enough evidence to hold her.
The release of the images is because the authorities also shared dozens of images from the house, which showed where Sullivan had closed her stepson in captivity in a small room for the most of his life.
The images showed that various rooms with ditches were equipped, waste had extensively built up in the house and the stepson was almost completely burned down.
Sullivan did not owe a number of charges, including mistreatment and kidnapping, in which prosecutors said that her stepson had been left in a situation 'related to a survivor of the Auschwitz skull'.

The first Responder Bodycam also showed the moment that officers grilled Sullivan over her stepson while she sat outside after the fire.
After he was Aked about what she knew, Sullivan replied: “He said he woke up and the TV was in flames.”
“Where was he when he said that to you?” The officer asks, to which Sullivan said he “had come out of his room.”
“I think he fell asleep, and I don't know, do the smoke smoke?” she added.
At that time, the researchers seem to arouse their concern and asked her: “Was the door locked up in his room, or not?”
If she says it wasn't, they ask her or it is 'normally locked up', and if 'he has the freedom to go out of them whenever he wants?'
Despite the insistence of Sullivan that her stepson was free to move, the officers then discuss her accusing, but agree that they didn't have enough.
This week, the police released dozens of images from the inside of the Sullivan house showing where she had held her stepson imprisoned

Their questions about whether the door of the stepson was locked is because police images showed from the house that a number of locks were mounted in the filthy house of Sullivan.
When her stepson was saved from the house, the authorities said he weighed only 68 pounds.
After officers decided that they did not have the evidence to accuse Sullivan on the spot, she was arrested in her house two weeks later.
Sullivan's neighbor Zeffrey Guarnera told DailyMail.com that he witnessed the fire outbreak and shared his disbelief that the stepson had been in captivity for so many years.
He remembered how his daughter once claimed that she saw a spirit in the house after witnessing the stepson in his bedroom window.
“She saw a little boy in the window with a baseball cap, and he waved at her and she waved at him … And then she never saw him again,” said Guarnera.
“She even said,” Did I see a spirit? '
Neighbor Zeffney Guarnera told how his daughter once thought she saw a spirit in the house of the Sullivans, while he is seen that points to where the fire broke out next to his house

Sullivan's lawyer criticized the release of the images as 'shocking, offensive and frankly, ethically doubtful'
Sullivan did not argue earlier this month because her lawyer says she is fighting her against her
Sullivan was released days after her release on a bond of $ 200,000 and was equipped with a GPS tracking monitor but was not placed under house arrest.
The lawyer Ioannis Kaloidis of the suspect criticized Waterbury's police after the images were released this week and said it was aimed at hurting her defense.
“The release of sensitive evidence by the Waterbury police in a hanging and active investigation is shocking, offensive and frankly, ethically doubtful,” said Kaloidis.
'It only serves to strengthen public opinion against Mrs. Sullivan. Justice requires the protection of constitutional rights and ultimately a fair trial.
'We ask for an immediate investigation into the release of these photos and videos. We are planning to combat these shameful accusations every step from the road. '
