Jordan's stepmother Tammy has been convicted
of injury to a child by omission and sentenced
to 28 years in prison.
Testifying in front of a jury,
21-year-old Cody Frank and 19-year-old Allison Frank.
The Frank siblings testified that their mother
and stepfather said nobody could interact with Jordan.
Cody said he found his stepbrother emaciated
and foaming at the mouth inside this hidden closet door.
Inside he said were exposed nails, wires
and what he says was firecracker paper.
The sibling said Jordan disappeared for
extended periods of time and eventually
was rarely at the dinner table.
Breaking news tonight.
Hours ago a jury sentenced Tammy Blymire
to 28 years in prison.
We the jury having found the defendant
Tammy Blymire guilty of injury to a child.
Once the judge read this sentence,
Blymire's children were overcome with mixed emotions
inside the court room.
It is no mystery why we are all here.
You made a big mistake and ultimately
have to face the consequences.
Jordan's biological father
pled guilty in 2016 and was sentended
to 15 years behind bars.
Jordan is now staying with his biological mother.
Let me tell you what happened here
and why this thing fell apart.
When we got into this story, we came in hard,
we came in fast, and these people didn't have
a chance to really put all of their ducks in a row.
Once we got onto this story,
we flew into Houston like really fast.
We were at the hospital talking to the family
of the little boy that had been rescued.
We asked to talk to Tammy and they said
no, no, no, we can't let you talk to her,
but I said if she hasn't anything to hide,
why wouldn't she want to talk
on this little boy's behalf.
So, the lawyer said well, I tell you what,
we'll let you inspect the home.
What they didn't know is that I had on standby
a helicopter in downtown Houston and I was
on board that helicopter and out to Spring, Texas
within minutes and we showed up at the house
ready to go in and inspect.
Now today for the first time ever,
the step-siblings who saved Jordan's life
are speaking out.
You won't believe what they say they saw.
Jordan's step-siblings Cody, Ally and Dylan
are the ones who eventually saved his life.
They say when Jordan first moved in with them,
everything was normal.
I was about 14 when Jordan came and lived with us.
Jordan was about three years old.
He was just an outgoing, happy kid.
He was always playing and laughing
and he was my little buddy.
Everybody got along fine.
Over time, things started getting more stressful.
Brad was definitely the main abuser.
He would do things like smack him on the back of his head.
One time I had heard yelling and stuff
going on downstairs, louder than usual.
I heard Brad go into the room where Jordan was kept
and then I heard a taser go off.
I heard screaming.
I heard Jordan yelling stop, don't do that.
Previously Brad had threatened to tase me.
My mom would step in and she would question
what Brad was doing, but she kind of stopped.
She said it wasn't her kid and she didn't have a say in it.
Well, thank you three for being here.
I really, really appreciate this because
every show that we do, every conversation we have
is really a teaching tool and a cautionary tale
for other families.
And sadly, every situation doesn't have
heroes like you guys and I know you don't like
being called heroes, but you did what had to be done.
How many kids were in the house at the time?
There were seven.
There were six there and when he was added,
he was the seventh child in the home.
There was a lot of us.
So at the time, what was he like
and how was he treated when he first came in?
Brad brought Jordan there and it was
just like having a stepbrother, you know.
He was treated like all of our other siblings
at the beginning, I mean there's nothing
abnormal about it.
Well, what really happened behind
closed doors in this house of horrors,
what was going on that we suspected
but didn't know, they're gonna tell us
what was on the other side.
