Wisconsin police described the "house of horrors," where two young boys escaped from, as the "worst they've ever seen." The children were reportedly imprisoned in a home with mounds of trash, a urine smell, and feces all over the walls.

As Blaze News previously reported, residents notified police after witnessing two young boys running naked in the neighborhood. The boys, ages seven and nine, were allegedly covered in feces, dirt, blood, and bruises.

The boys allgedly informed investigators that they had been locked inside their house in Milwaukee and only managed to escape by smashing a window.

Katie Koch, 34, and Joel Manke, 38, were arrested in July. They are each facing multiple felony charges, including false imprisonment and neglect. They each face up to 43 years in prison and fines of as much as $120,000 if convicted of the crimes. Koch also faces two misdemeanor charges that carry a prison sentence of 18 months and a $20,000 fine.

Shocking details about the "house of horrors" were revealed this week.

The appalling 72-page police report detailed how the children were detained in inhumane conditions.

An officer said in the police report, "I entered the living and observed a terrible hoarding situation — it was hard to see the floor. The smell of urine and feces stained the air within the residence."

There were mounds of garbage that reached 5 feet high in the kitchen. The house also allegedly had bugs "flying all around."

The Messenger reported, "While attempting to make their way through the home, the officer noted seeing a 'mound of trash and garbage' next to the children's room, which they entered."

The officer recalled, "The door was opened halfway, and a greater amount of the stench of urine and feces seemed to get worse as I approached the children's room."

The children's room allegedly had boarded-up windows and a latch attached outside the door to prevent the children from escaping.

"There was what appeared to feces on the floor and all over the walls," an officer stated. "I entered the living room and observed a terrible hoarding situation – it was hard to see the floor."

Police allegedly noted that the house was "the worst they've ever seen."

Police also pointed out that Manke's "man cave" in the basement was not as filthy as the rest of the home.

"[It was] treated in a higher amount of respect and cleanliness compared to the children's living conditions in their bedroom," an officer said.

Express reported, "Investigators believe the boys had been living in filth for years, as they weren't toilet trained and hadn't had a haircut or seen a doctor since 2019."

During an interrogation, Koch and Manke reportedly told investigators that they often locked the young boys in the bedroom at night. Koch attempted to justify the practice by saying that her parents did the same with her when she was a child.

Police wrote in the report that Koch had a "scent of mildew and musk." A detective noted that Koch "appeared to have a poor skin tone, flushed face" and was "tired and run down."

Authorities said that Manke called his parents after being arrested, and his mother expressed to him that she was "in shock" after walking through the hoarding house.

Manke – who is not the boys' biological father – claimed that he had no idea of the horrid conditions that the children lived in.

Manke and Koch have both pled not guilty.

The couple are scheduled for a court appearance at the end of November.
