The Walls family eventually faced a figurative financial wall that caused them to move in with Dad’s mom, Erma in Welch, West Virginia. While living with Erma, Jeannette parents allowed Erma to molest Brian and lock the children in her basement. The Rex eventually saved up money to get a house on his own however, the how was a barely standing shack with no indoor plumbing.
