Three of the four mentally disabled people recently rescued from a dingy, urine-scented basement boiler room spoke about their harrowing experience locked in what some in the media have dubbed the dungeon of horrors.
"That was real dirty of you. That was wrong," a tearful Derwin McLemire told CNN affiliate KYW Monday, talking about her alleged captors.
McLemire was one of four people found locked in a sub-basement room Saturday, with no food and only a bucket for a toilet, police said. The pitch-black, 15-foot-by-6-foot space houses what police described as a boiler used to heat the building. A penetrating stench of urine and feces still hung in the chamber days after the discovery. McLemire was found chained to the boiler, authorities said.
The alleged victims said they were beaten and were afraid of the suspects in the case.

Here is more news on this story,
Authorities also took into custody 10 children and teens, at least one of them a relative of the suspects who was reported missing in 2009. They were being evaluated at a hospital for signs of abuse or malnutrition.
"A few of them appeared to be underweight," said a police spokeswoman.
Police were trying to determine if the children and teens were being held against their will like the malnourished adults, each of whom has the mental capacity of a 10-year-old child.
