That's what I'm also struggling with when I think about this... no matter how hidden or soundproofed or whatever that the basement dungeon was... I mean apparently he must have spent significant time down there whether doing horrible things, or doing routine basics like bringing them food, etc.

"OK, wife, I'm going to go work in the basement now - don't come down, OK?"

"Uh, OK husband." (thinks to self "Boy I guess that husband of mine sure likes to tinker for hours at his workbench down there... a lot")

It kind of blows my mind to think of 24 years worth of conversations like that, and she had no clue anything was fishy?

I buy her story. I don't think a secret dungeon stays secret for twenty-four years if you tell someone; I think her behaviour now would betray her if she'd known, and the cops don't suspect her worth a dime.

allright, but then how do you live with someone building a soundproof house-within-a-house in your basement or crawlspace or whatever? & not notice anything? unimaginable, but then i guess this whole story stretches the imagination to the limit.

i bet that house would make a hella home studio or rehearsal space.
