The Waterbury home at the center of an alleged decades-long captivity case has received court approval to be sold for $165,000.

A man known as “S” told police his stepmother, Kimberly Sullivan, held him captive in the Blake Street home for more than two decades. He told police he set fire to the house in February 2025 to escape. Sullivan was arrested the following month and denies the allegations, maintaining her innocence as criminal proceedings continue.

The home is part of the estate of Sullivan's late husband, Kregg Sullivan. A probate judge approved the sale after a court-appointed administrator took over management of the property. The proceeds will be subject to debts and other expenses, while funds from the estate will be held in a closed bank account pending further court action.
