Gary Siders Sr., the first to request an evaluation, has since been released on $300,000 bond with a GPS monitor.
Gary Siders, 73, appeared in Vinton County court Monday, according to court documents.
Sixteen children were found inside a rural Hamden, Ohio, home in conditions officials described as “pure evil,” and four adults inside the family are now charged: Gary Siders Sr., 73; his wife, Christina Siders, 67; their son, Gary Siders Jr., 36; and his wife, Elizabeth Siders, 33. In this episode of “Drop Dead Serious,” Ashleigh is joined by retired Riverside County Detective Thomas Salisbury, the detective who helped rescue the 13 Turpin children from their California house of horrors, to discuss why he believes the Ohio case may be even worse and what investigators may be doing now. Host: Ashleigh Banfield Executive Producer: Lindzie Haller
The Siders adults are facing 16 counts of child endangerment in the case.
A 2021 truancy report on six of the Siders children was dropped when the parents stopped responding.
Court records show the incidents involving Siders' indecent exposure happened in late May.
