Biological Mother of Alleged Captive Slams Stepmother in Explosive Interview

The biological mother of a man allegedly held captive for 20 years by his stepmother in Waterbury, Connecticut, has publicly condemned the accused in a recent interview with Fox News Digital. TRACY VALLERAND, who lost custody of her son when he was just six months old, described her son’s stepmother, KIMBERLY SULLIVAN, as “the lowest of the low” and criticized the court’s decision to grant her bail.

KIMBERLY SULLIVAN was released on a $300,000 bond following her arrest on March 12 and is currently under house arrest with an ankle GPS monitor. Her attorney, IOANNIS KALOIDIS, has filed a motion to remove the monitoring requirement. Vallerand expressed outrage at the decision, stating, “She’s a flight risk and shouldn’t have been allowed out on bail at all.”

The alleged victim, now 32, was reportedly locked in a windowless 8-foot by 9-foot storage closet for two decades, enduring extreme neglect. He weighed only 68 pounds when he was rescued after setting fire to the home on February 27 to escape. KIMBERLY SULLIVAN faces charges including first-degree assault, second-degree kidnapping, and cruelty to persons.

Vallerand, who has not seen her son since infancy, revealed her repeated attempts to reconnect with him over the years, all of which were blocked by his father, KREGG SULLIVAN, who passed away last year. “When he turned 18, I searched for him online but found nothing. I feared the worst,” she said. “Now, I’m just grateful he’s alive and getting the care he needs.”

In a statement, the alleged victim, who goes by the name S, expressed gratitude for the support he has received since his rescue. “I am much better and stronger than I was the day the first responders carried me out of my home,” he said. “I ask everyone involved in my story to fully cooperate with the authorities as I seek justice for these crimes.”

IOANNIS KALOIDIS, Sullivan’s attorney, previously denied the allegations, claiming his client “did not harm him, did not restrain him, and did not imprison him.” However, he declined to comment further on the case.

Vallerand also criticized Kaloidis, stating, “He’s doing a good job for her, but he’s literally at the bottom of the barrel with the clientele he has. It’s pretty sad.”

The case has drawn widespread attention, with many calling for justice for the alleged victim. As the legal proceedings continue, the public is urged to respect the privacy of those involved.
