(Waukegan, IL) — An Illinois couple stands accused of locking up their ten-year-old daughter in their basement since the beginning of the year. Randy and Katherine Swopes were arrested Tuesday and charged with child endangerment and unlawful restraint. Police say the parents told them they held their daughter captive because they believed she was possessed by a demon. The girl was forced to use a training toilet for a bathroom and a bucket to shower.
