An emaciated man, 32, says he was held in his room for 20 years and set it on fire to gain his freedom, according to police.
The man, now 32, told authorities his confinement began when he was about 11 years old. He said he was locked in a room nearly all day and night and given limited food and water.
"I wanted my freedom," the man reportedly said after lighting the home ablaze in what police say was a desperate breakout attempt.
