Police say the teen had no access to food, gas, water, or heat aside from a space heater. The home was described by police as cluttered with trash and spoiled/rotten food.

The teen said Bogroff returns on occasion, but they never know when. Money was occasionally sent through CashApp for food and the teen rarely attended school with multiple absences and illegal tardies reported to police.

Police say they recovered mail at the home that included past due utility bills totaling several thousand dollars each.

On January 29 Manehime Township Police confirmed Bogroff was arrested by Pennsville Township Police in New Jersey and was detained in the Salem County Correction Facility.

Arrangements are being made to extradite Bogroff to Pennsylvania for arraignment.
