VictimsMichelle Knight
Amanda Berry
Georgina DeJesus
6-year-old daughter of Amanda Berry

Three young women from Cleveland, Ohio, USA — Amanda Berry, Georgina "Gina" DeJesus, and Michelle Knight — had been missing for between nine and eleven years when they were found alive on May 6, 2013. They were freed from a house belonging to a man named Ariel Castro, one of the suspects in their disappearances, 3 miles (4.8 km) from where they had disappeared. A six-year-old daughter of Amanda Berry also escaped.

Knight disappeared in 2002 at age 21, Berry in 2003 at age 16 (one day before her 17th birthday), and DeJesus in 2004 at age 14. The women had multiple pregnancies, at least one live birth, and multiple miscarriages. Police said the women were sometimes kept in "chains and bondage".

Ariel Castro and his two brothers, Pedro Castro and Onil Castro, were arrested on May 6, 2013, shortly after the women escaped. The story received front page coverage worldwide.

Abductions

Michelle Knight

Michelle Knight was last seen when she left her cousin's house on August 22, 2002. She disappeared near West 116th Street and Lorain Avenue, on a day she was to appear in court for a child custody case concerning her son.

She was 21 years old at the time of her disappearance. In a 2002 missing persons report, police stated she had a mental disorder.

Police and family members came to believe that Knight may have left on her own, frustrated because she had lost custody of her son. Her mother thought she had once seen her with an older man at a shopping plaza on West 117th Street.

Amanda Berry

Amanda Marie Berry went missing on April 21, 2003, the day before her 17th birthday. She was believed to have made it home from her job at a Burger King at West 110th Street and Lorain Avenue, and she changed from her uniform, but no one witnessed her there. She left money and all her clothes at home, and was known to have had plans to celebrate her birthday the next day.

Police initially considered Berry a runaway, until a man used her cell phone to call her mother, Louwanna Miller, claiming the teenager would return in a few days and that they were now married. Miller searched for her daughter for three years, but died in 2006 of heart failure.

Berry was featured in a 2004 segment of America's Most Wanted, which re-aired in 2005 and 2006 and linked her to Gina DeJesus, who had subsequently also gone missing in Cleveland. They were profiled on The Oprah Winfrey Show and The Montel Williams Show, where self-described psychic Sylvia Browne told Miller in 2004 that her daughter Amanda was dead, and that she was "in water."

Before her disappearance Berry had been in a gifted program at John Marshall High School, but had switched to an online home school program in which she was on track for early graduation.

Gina DeJesus

2004 FBI sketch of a suspect in DeJesus' disappearance

Georgina "Gina" Lynn DeJesus went missing at age 14. She was last seen at a pay phone at about 3 p.m. on April 2, 2004, as she headed home from middle school at West 105th Street and Lorain Avenue. She and suspect Ariel Castro's daughter Arlene Castro had called Ariel's wife, Grimilda Figueroa, seeking permission for a sleepover at DeJesus' house, but the answer was no. Berry and DeJesus disappeared within five blocks of each other, perhaps even on the same block.

No AMBER Alert was issued the day DeJesus disappeared, because no one had witnessed her being abducted. The lack of an AMBER Alert angered her father, Felix DeJesus, who said in 2006 that he believed the public would listen even if the alerts become routine.

A week after Gina's disappearance police released a sketch and description of an Hispanic man aged 25 to 35, 5 ft 10 in (1.78 m) tall, weighing 165 to 185 pounds (75 to 82 kg), with green eyes and a pencil-thin beard. The suspect had been seen near her school driving a light blue or white car, and asking for Gina.

DeJesus was featured on America's Most Wanted in 2004, 2005, and 2006, and the television program also linked her to Berry. The disappearances received regular media attention over the years, as recently as 2012, while family and others held vigils and searched for DeJesus and Berry. Ariel Castro was identified by Gina's family in video footage of two of these vigils and he reportedly participated in a search party and tried to get close to the family. Police had an active investigation, offering a $25,000 reward for information on their location.

Discovery and aftermath

Discovery

On May 6, 2013, Knight, DeJesus, Berry, and a previously unknown 6-year-old female child of Berry were found in a home at 2207 Seymour Avenue, in the residential Tremont neighborhood 3 miles (4.8 km) from where the three young women had disappeared. Their rescuer, Charles Ramsey, said he heard a woman inside the house scream, and when he went over to inspect the situation a woman told him that she was being kept in the house with her baby against her will. Because the door was locked, he kicked a hole in the bottom of it, and she crawled through, and grabbed her baby as well. The woman was wearing a jumpsuit, white tank top, rings, and mascara. She called 9-1-1 after breaking out of the house, and said, "Help me; I am Amanda Berry. I've been kidnapped and I've been missing for 10 years. And I'm here and I'm free now."

All three women and the child were taken to MetroHealth Medical Center, where staff would not comment on their conditions. They were all released from the hospital by the next morning.

Arrests and charges

Ariel Castro (age 52) and his two brothers, Pedro Castro (54) and Onil Castro (50), were arrested on May 6, 2013, shortly after the women escaped. Specific charges and a date for a first court appearance have not been announced.

Investigation developments

Police said the women were bound by ropes and chains, sometimes kept in "chains and bondage" in the basement, and very rarely let outside in the backyard of the home in which they were kept. An unnamed police source said the young women had multiple miscarriages and at least one live birth. WKYC reported that the women were raped repeatedly by their captors, and beaten severely when they became pregnant. According to The New York Post, one young woman had three miscarriages, and Knight may have hearing loss from the beatings.

A neighbor told USA Today he had called police after other neighbors said they saw naked women on dog leashes crawling on all fours in the home's backyard. A woman said she called police after seeing a naked women in the backyard. Women who lived in a neighborhood apartment building said they called police because they saw three young girls crawling on all fours naked with dog leashes around their necks in the backyard, as three men controlled them. Neighbors said that police came to the house a number of times, but never went inside. Cleveland police officials said they have no record of calls about criminal activity at the home.

One of the suspects is believed by police to have fathered Berry's 6-year-old girl. The girl was at times taken from the home, and visited suspect Ariel Castro's mother, Lillian Rodriguez, calling her "grandmother."

A cadaver dog, along with various law enforcement officers, searched Ariel Castro's property.

Suspects' backgrounds

Ariel Castro

Ariel Castro is one of the sons of Pedro Castro, now deceased, who emigrated from Puerto Rico to the United States, first living in Pennsylvania and then moving to Cleveland.

Ariel Castro knew the DeJesus family, and his family had grown up in the same west Cleveland neighborhood, according to his uncle, Julio Castro, who ran a grocery store half a block from the Castro house.

Castro had lived in and owned the two-story 1,400-square-foot (130 m), four-bedroom, one-bathroom house with a 760-square-foot (71 m) unfinished basement located on Seymour Avenue since 1992, when he bought the home for $12,000. The home was in foreclosure for 3 years of unpaid real estate taxes, at the time of his arrest. Neighbors described him as seemingly normal, and observed that he mostly kept to himself.

Ariel Castro was arrested for domestic violence in 1993, and spent three days in jail before being released on bond, but a grand jury declined to indict him. He was also arrested in December 1993 for disorderly conduct. He pleaded guilty to the charge. Castro was stopped six times by Cleveland Police between 1995 and 2008 for traffic violations. In 1996, Ariel Castro was accused of pulling a fence post from a neighbor's property. The neighbor's 6-year-old daughter stepped in the resulting hole and fell, hurting herself. Court documents detailed significant hostility between the neighbors, and Castro said he spoke with police "on a number of occasions” about the neighbor. Castro was ordered to pay $241 in damages.

According to a 2005 filing in Cuyahoga County Domestic Relations Court, Ariel was accused of attacking his former wife, Grimilda Figueroa, who died in 2012. Figueroa twice suffered a broken nose, and suffered broken ribs, a knocked-out tooth, a blood clot on her brain, and two dislocated shoulders. Attorney Robert Ferreri requested that a judge "keep from threatening to kill" Figueroa, and said Figueroa had full custody with no visitation for of the children, but "Nevertheless, Castro frequently abducts daughters and keeps them from mother."

Castro worked as a bus driver for the Cleveland Metropolitan School District for 22 years, from February 1991 until he was fired for "bad judgment" in November 2012 after a series of issues including making an illegal U-turn with children on the bus, using his bus to go grocery shopping, and finally for leaving the bus unattended while he took a nap at home. He was earning $18.91-per-hour at the time that he was discharged.

Pedro Castro and Onil Castro

Pedro and Onil Castro lived together on Kinkel Street, less than a half-mile from their brother's home where the young women were found.

Pedro Castro, the eldest brother, dropped out of high school his junior year because of a problem with alcohol, according to a friend of the brothers. He later worked a punch-press machine in a factory, again his alcohol problem interfered and he stopped working. According to their friend, in recent years received Social Security benefits. Pedro Castro told Fox8 in July 2012: "That's a waste of money," referring to a police search of property for the possible remains of Amanda Berry.

Onil Pedro, the youngest brother, also had a drinking problem according to their friend. He supported himself by doing odd jobs as a handyman, until he was injured while working as a laborer in 2008, and since then was receiving workers' compensation, according to their friend.

Other family members

Ariel Castro has at least four adult children, including three daughters.

Arlene Castro, a daughter of Ariel, was a school friend of DeJesus and appeared on America's Most Wanted in 2005 saying she was the one who last saw DeJesus. DeJesus gave her 50 cents to call home.

Ariel Castro's son, also named Ariel Castro but known as Anthony, wrote an article in June 2004 about the Berry and DeJesus disappearances for the Plain Press, when he was a journalism student at Bowling Green State University. He interviewed the mother of DeJesus for the piece. Anthony described his fathers house to the Daily Mail : "The house was always locked. There were places we could never go. There were locks on the basement. Locks on the attic. Locks on the garage."

Investigation prior to discovery

Local police and the FBI maintained active investigations after the disappearances, following many leads. The investigations into the disappearance of DeJesus and Berry were widely covered by media regionally over 10 years, and on national/international TV shows.

Other criminal charges related to the investigation

In January 2013, Robert Wolford, a prison inmate who used to live in the neighborhood from which the girls disappeared, was sentenced to four-and-a-half years after pleading guilty to obstruction of justice, making a false report and making a false alarm for providing a false burial tip in the disappearance of Berry. He was taken to a location in Cleveland, which was dug up with backhoes, but at which the police found nothing.

Disappearance of Ashley Summers

Since 2008, police have been investigating as possibly related the disappearance of Ashley Nicole Summers. Summers was born June 16, 1993, and last seen on July 6, 2007. Summers also disappeared from the same five-block area in Cleveland as the girls who were found. She was initially reported as a runaway after a family argument, when she took her clothes. She called her mother a month later to say she was well, but she has not been heard from since. She may have been spotted in a car in November 2007 by a relative. In April 2009, the FBI said it suspected that the same man abducted Summers, Berry, and DeJesus, a belief that has not changed with the recovery of Berry and DeJesus alive. The Abductions of Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus & Ashley Summers were covered together on Oprah in October 2009.
