Michelle Knight, Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus found alive; Ariel Castro commits suicide after he is sentenced to LIFE + 1,000 years

LEVELAND (AP) ? One neighbor says a naked woman was seen crawling on her hands and knees in the backyard of the house a few years ago. Another heard pounding on the home?s doors and noticed plastic bags over the windows.

Both times, police showed up but never went inside, neighbors say. Police also paid a visit to the house in 2004, but no one answered the door.

Now, after three women who vanished a decade ago were found captive Monday at the run-down house, Cleveland police are facing questions for the second time in four years about their handling of missing-person cases and are conducting an internal review to see if they overlooked anything.

The women were reported by police to be in good health and were reunited with joyous family members but remained in seclusion.

In eastern Tennessee, Berry?s father, Johnny Berry, told WJHL-TV that he spoke to her for the first time Monday night by phone at his home in Elizabethton.

?She said, ?Hi, Daddy, I?m alive,?? Johnny Berry said. ?She said, ?I love you, I love you, I love you,? and then we both started crying.?

Although Amanda Berry was born and raised in Cleveland, her father, grandparents and cousins live in Elizabethton. Before she disappeared, she often visited Tennessee during the summers. Family members said they visited her in Cleveland about three weeks before she went missing.

This time, two neighbors said they called police to the Castro house on separate occasions.

Elsie Cintron, who lives three houses away, said her daughter saw a naked woman crawling in the backyard several years ago and called police. ?But they didn?t take it seriously,? she said.

Another neighbor, Israel Lugo, said he heard pounding on some of the doors of the house in November 2011. Lugo said officers knocked on the front door, but no one answered. ?They walked to side of the house and then left,? he said.

?Everyone in the neighborhood did what they had to do,? said Lupe Collins, who is close to relatives of the women. ?The police didn?t do their job.?

Police did go to the house twice in the past 15 years, but not in connection with the women?s disappearance, officials said.

Reuters) - As authorities prepared to file charges against three brothers suspected of keeping three young women captive for nearly a decade, police on Wednesday said they found chains and ropes used to bind the victims inside the Cleveland house where they were held.

Some details about the women's ordeal began to emerge as euphoria over their rescue on Monday evening gave way to questions of how their imprisonment inside a house on a residential street in Cleveland, Ohio went undetected for so long.

Several neighbors said they had called police to report suspicious activity at the house in a dilapidated neighborhood on Cleveland's West Side, where Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus, Michelle Knight and Berry's 6-year-old daughter escaped from their captors.

But police denied those calls from neighbors were made.

"We have no record of those calls coming in over the last ten years," Cleveland Police Chief Michael McGrath said on Wednesday on NBC's "Today" show.

McGrath said he was confident police did not miss opportunities to find the missing women.

"Absolutely, there's no question about it," he said.

FBI agents were searching through the house where the women were believed held since vanishing between 2002 and 2004 from the same neighborhood, he said.

"We have confirmation that they were bound, and there (were) chains and ropes in the home," he said.

The women had been allowed outside "very rarely" during their captivity, he said. "They were released out in the backyard once in a while."

McGrath said the women were in good physical condition, "considering the circumstances."

The three suspects were expected to be charged by the end of the day, McGrath said. He said the suspects were being interviewed and "Yes, they are talking."

One suspect, Ariel Castro, 52, who was fired from his school bus driving job in November for "lack of judgment," was arrested almost immediately after the women escaped on Monday. Brothers Pedro Castro, 54, and Onil Castro, 50, were taken into custody a short time later.

The women's imprisonment came to a dramatic end after a neighbor, drawn by the sound of screams, broke through the door to rescue Berry, whose 2003 disappearance as a teenager was widely publicized in the local media. He helped her place an emergency call to authorities.

Berry, now 27, was found with her 6-year-old daughter, conceived and born during her captivity, along with DeJesus, 23, who vanished aged 14 in 2004, and Knight, 32, who was 20 when she went missing in 2002.

Cleveland Mayor Frank Johnson said on Tuesday that child welfare officials had paid a visit to the house in January 2004 because Castro was reported to have left a child on a school bus while he stopped for lunch at a fast-food restaurant. But no one answered the door and the ensuing inquiry found no criminal intent, officials said.

NEIGHBORS REPORT SUSPICIOUS INCIDENTS

Police have not said what role each man is suspected of playing in the case, but Berry named Ariel Castro in her 911 call as the man from whom she was trying to escape.

Questions have mounted about why the women's captivity escaped notice.

"We didn't search hard enough. She was right under our nose the whole time," said Angel Arroyo, a church pastor who had handed out flyers of DeJesus in the neighborhood.

Aside from the school bus incident in 2004, city officials said a database search found no records of calls to the house or reports of anything amiss during the years in question.

"We have no indication that any of the neighbors, bystanders, witnesses or anyone else has ever called regarding any information, regarding activity that occurred at that house on Seymour Avenue," the mayor said.

Israel Lugo, a neighbor, said he called police in November 2011 after his sister saw a girl at the house holding a baby and crying for help. He said police came and banged on the door several times but left when no one answered.

About eight months ago, Lugo said, his sister saw Ariel Castro park his school bus outside and take a large bag of fast food and several drinks inside.

"My sister said something's wrong ... That's when my mom called the police," he said. Lugo said police came and warned Castro not to park the bus in front of his house.

Another neighbor, Anthony Westry, said a little girl could often be seen peering from the attic window of the Castro house.

"She was always looking out the window," he said. Castro would take her to the park to play very early in the morning, "not around the time you would take kids to play," he said.

In the one acknowledged visit to the house by Cuyahoga County Children and Family Services Department officers in January 2004, more than a year after Knight disappeared and eight months after Berry went missing, no one answered the door, the mayor said.

Police said Castro was interviewed extensively during the investigation regarding the child left on the bus, and that no criminal wrongdoing was found. A witness had reported Castro telling the child to "lay down, bitch," but child welfare officials concluded the complaint was unsubstantiated.

Born in Puerto Rico, Ariel Castro played bass in Latin music bands in the area. Records show he was divorced more than a decade ago and his ex-wife had since died. He is known to have at least one adult daughter and son [ID:nL2N0DP0FN]

On a Facebook page believed to be his, Castro said last month that he had just become a grandfather for a fifth time. Court records show he was arrested in 1993 on a domestic violence charge that was subsequently dismissed.

Holy fucking fail. I mean c'mon cops, you get these claims of women crawling around naked and banging on windows "like she was trying to escape" from a house that's 3 GODDAMN BLOCKS AWAY from where three girls went missing?!?! Jesus. They should be ashamed of themselves.

Can these girls sue? Didn't Jaycee get some money for how bad they fucked up her case?

I agree. OMFG, the more stories coming out right now are freaking terrible. I got a feeling the story is going to get worse.

Neighbor Nina Samoylicz says that two years ago, she and her friends saw a naked woman in the backyard of Castro’s home. They said something to her and Castro “told her to get down. So we said something to him. He told her to get in the house,” and then he went inside as well, Samoylicz said.
“We called the cops,” she says. “They thought we were playing and joking, they didn’t believe us.”
Within a week or two, tarps went up, shielding the backyard from onlookers, she said.
Samoylicz also said she saw a girl who would sit looking out an open window until Castro would come along and board it back up. Sometimes the girl played at a nearby park by herself. “My cousin one day said something to her. She said she’s waiting for her dad and then she pointed to (Castro). And she ran up to him, and gave him a hug, and they left.”
Police say the girl is Berry’s daughter.
Another neighbor, Israel Lugo, says he called police in 2011 when he heard yelling in the Castro home. Officers left when no one answered the door, Lugo says.
And news reports say another neighbor called police after seeing a woman through an attic window of the home, which Castro never allowed neighbors to enter.
Still, police apparently had no clue what was going on inside his home.
“We continue to ask the community to send tips and information — to say something if you see something. We cannot do this alone,” police said in a statement after the women were freed.
Some people in the neighborhood, including Charles Ramsey, the man who helped free the alleged captives, say they don’t recall seeing anything suspicious at Castro’s home.
But legal analysts are taking the police to task.
If someone really heard screaming and police simply knocked on the door and left without further investigation, then “law enforcement clearly dropped the ball,” attorney Lisa Bloom said on CNN’s “Piers Morgan Live.”
“It was almost like a Keystone Cops situation,” prominent attorney Mark Geragos added.

I hope Charles receives any and all the therapy he needs to move forward as well. I think his mental health is being lost in the cracks because of the sheer awesomeness he exudes. I think he is feeling guilty because he didn't notice anything out of the ordinary in the year he lived across the street. In the interview with George he is rather subdued. He looks exhausted. I'm sure he is replaying the last year and thinking about if he did see something and didn't know it. I'm sure the whole neighborhood is doing it. He was probably running on adrenaline when he did the first interviews. Now that things are starting to set in, he's struggling.

I think it's pretty incredible he wants the money to go to the ladies, even though he's a poor man.


ETA: I haven't read anything about where the men were when they were arrested. Where was Ariel Castro when Amanda decided to go for an escape? Did he come back to the mayhem taking place and taken into custody? What were the men doing? Did they hear breaking news reports on the radio and make a break for it? Or hide somewhere? I'm interested.

Love this comment about Charles:
Everyone keeps talking about this guy like he's the brother from another planet. Where I grew up he's just a Regular Joe. And it seems obvious to me that he's a little taken aback by all of the acclaim, but mostly embarrassed that it took a year to do the right thing.

I LOVE HIM.

Charles Ramsey is great! Those poor girls. They were seen being walked while on all fours in the back yard naked with collars on? No cops double (TRIPLE) checking? Sickening. I did not look back in posts so sorry if someone wrote this already but supposedly there was a RIP written on wall. These men are so vile beyond words..

[Ron_NYC]

OK, this is extra cool cause they split the $$ they made with Antoine Dobson on that "Bedroom Intruder" song. So Charles is now definitely looking at a payday.

He was close to breaking down in that GMA interview he did this am.

Ignorant racists on Twitter are trashing him. I him. He's real, he's authentic and he knows this about those three women and that little girl, not him.

That said, I hope he gets some help. I can see him suffering from PTSD already.

I hope the fucking media leaves these girls alone and I hope they can some privacy and treatment like Jaycee Dugard got.

This is so disgusting. If anything, this situation is an example of non-racism. I can't figure out how to put my thoughts into words to explain what I mean. There isn't anything about this story that includes race. NOTHING. This story is about people helping people. Does it really matter what color everyone is? My brain does not compute. Do people really think other Black people would not help to save these ladies because their not Black? I don't understand.

The GMA interview was sad. He is defiantly suffering from PTSD. My heart hurts for Charles just as is does for the ladies and child involved. He is a victim of happenstance.

I hope this works, I haven't pasted an article in a while:


Cleveland (CNN) -- Ropes and chains have been found inside the Cleveland home where police say three women spent close to a decade in captivity, city officials said Wednesday.

While Public Safety Director Martin Flask said investigators haven't confirmed how the ropes and chains were used, police Chief Michael McGrath told NBC's "Today" that they were used to restrain the missing women.

"We have confirmation that they were bound," he told NBC.

Authorities expect to file charges Wednesday against the homeowner and his two brothers, a police spokeswoman said Tuesday.

Police have until Wednesday evening to file charges against Ariel Castro, 52, who lived in the home where the women were found, and his brothers, Pedro Castro, 54, and Onil Castro, 50, police Detective Jennifer Ciaccia said Tuesday.

Police deny neighbors called about suspicious activity

Investigators began questioning the brothers Tuesday night, FBI Special Agent Vicki Anderson said Wednesday.

They were arrested Monday night after one of the women, 27-year-old Amanda Berry, staged a daring escape with the aid of a neighbor.

In addition to Berry and a 6-year-old daughter apparently born to her during her captivity, police say Georgina "Gina" DeJesus, 23, and Michelle Knight, 32, also were freed.

The three women disappeared from the same Cleveland street -- Lorain Avenue -- between 2002 and 2004. Police say they were held just three miles from where they disappeared.

They escaped after Berry broke out the bottom of a screen door and called for help Monday evening, startling neighbor Charles Ramsey, who helped kick in the door.

"I've been kidnapped, and I've been missing for 10 years," Berry said in a frantic 911 call. "And I'm here. I'm free now."

Neighbor who helped Berry an instant Internet star

Since they escaped, the women have been reuniting with family members they had not seen in nearly 10 years.

Berry arrived at her sister's home Wednesday. She had been expected to make a statement, according to police, but her sister appeared instead. Beth Serrano implored the huge crowd of reporters and photographers to give the family privacy to recover from their long ordeal.

In a telephone call recorded Tuesday, by CNN affiliate WJHL, Berry sounded upbeat -- telling her grandmother Fern Gentry that she felt "fine" and that the 6-year-old girl also rescued Monday from the Cleveland home is indeed her own.

"I love you honey, thank God," Berry's tearful grandmother Fern Gentry could be heard telling her granddaughter. "I've thought about you all this time. I never forgot about you."

At the home of Gina DeJesus, balloons dotted the front yard.

Her 32-year-old sister, Mayra DeJesus, told CNN's Poppy Harlow Tuesday that Gina is in "good spirits" despite her ordeal.

Knight remained hospitalized Wednesday at Metro Health Hospital, a spokeswoman said.

Spokeswoman Tina Shaerban-Arundel declined to say what Knight was being treated for, but said she was in good condition.

News of her discovery came as a shock to brother Freddie Knight, who didn't know she was missing until he saw the story on TV. He said the family thought Knight might be with the brother of a brother-in-law, but had no phone number to contact him.

"I was freaking happy as hell, because I didn't know my sister was kidnapped," he said. "My mom never tells me anything."

Knight said their mom, who now lives in Naples, Florida, kicked him out of the house when he was 14 and they remain estranged.

CNN not could immediately confirm the details of Knight's account.

Knight said he met with his sister at the hospital and gave her a hug, saying the ordeal had left her traumatized.

"I hugged her because she wanted a hug," he said. "My sister is going to move on, forget the past ... , leave it behind, start anew."

Her mother, Barbara Knight, told NBC Wednesday that she had not yet spoken to her daughter.

"She's probably angry at the world because she thought she would never be found but thank God that somebody did," she told NBC.

When asked what she would say to her daughter, she said, "I love you and I missed you all this time."

The investigation

FBI evidence technicians spent a second day at the home Tuesday. An exhaustive search of the grounds turned up no evidence of human remains, Flask said.

While charges are likely Wednesday, investigators still have much work ahead of them, said Ciaccia.

"This is just the tip of the iceberg," she told CNN's Anderson Cooper on Tuesday. "This investigation will take a very long time."

McGrath told NBC's "Today" Wednesday that investigators believed the women were allowed out of the house only rarely. He didn't know how often they were bound.

Neighbors feels 'fooled' by Cleveland abduction suspect

"We'll have a better feel for that question once the interviews with the victims (are) completed later today," he told NBC.

Some neighbors of Ariel Castro second-guessed themselves Tuesday, questioning why they hadn't noticed signs earlier and if they could have prevented the horrors.

Neighbor Daniel Marti, for one, wonders why he didn't question why Castro frequently brought bags of McDonald's food into the house, or how Castro steered conversation away from his house.

"Now that I think of it, he didn't want nobody back there," said Marti, who said he has known Ariel Castro since junior high school and lived near him for some 22 years.

"This is a heartbreaking moment for us, because I'm always out there (and) I've heard nothing," he said.

Relatives of the suspects were also troubled by the developments.

Maria Castro Montes, a cousin of the suspects, told CNN Wednesday if other family members had any inkling or suspicion of wrongdoing, they would have spoken up.

New details on homeowner

According to court documents, Ariel Castro's former wife accused him of repeatedly abusing her, including breaking her nose twice, breaking two ribs, dislocating her shoulder twice and knocking out a tooth.

Grimilda Figueroa also accused Castro of causing a blood clot on her brain, according to the 2005 documents.

A judge granted a protection order, but lifted it three months later after repeated court delays and hearings Castro did not attend, according to the documents.

Castro was a school bus driver until November, when he was fired, according to school district records released Tuesday night.

His firing came after he had left his bus unattended outside a school after his preschool routes had been canceled, without notifying his dispatcher or depot.

"He previously had been suspended for 60 days for leaving a child on a bus; 60 days for making an illegal U-turn in rush hour traffic with a bus load of students, and last school year for using the bus to do his grocery shopping," the letter recommending his dismissal states.

Tito DeJesus, a sometimes bandmate of Castro's, said he had been inside of Castro's home once, about two years ago, to help deliver a washer and dryer he'd sold to the suspect and saw "a normal environment."

DeJesus said he isn't related to the rescued Gina DeJesus but had known the family for years.

"It didn't seem to be a place where women were being held against their will," he said. "Of course, mind you, I didn't go throughout the entire house. I was just at the beginning of the house, in the living room, but it seemed normal."

No previous suspicions

Cleveland officials insistently batted down claims by neighbors that they called police to report suspicious activity at the home.

"Media reports of multiple calls to the Cleveland Police reporting suspicious activity and the mistreatment of women at 2207 Seymour are false," spokeswoman Maureen Harper said in an e-mailed statement.

Other officials said call records contained no evidence that neighbors ever called police to report unusual activity at the home.

On Tuesday, neighbor Israel Lugo and another neighbor, Nina Samoylicz, told CNN that they had called police in recent years to report separate incidents at the home.

Samoylicz said she and others saw a naked woman in the backyard of the home and called police.

Faliceonna Lopez, Samoylicz' sister, told a slightly different version Tuesday night on CNN's "Piers Morgan Live." She said after seeing the woman, they told their mother, not police.

The mother, Annita Lugo, told Morgan that she didn't call police, either, saying, "I definitely would have called then but it was hours later and I really -- I really didn't -- you know, I was just stuck. I was dumbfounded, didn't know how to take it, you know?"

Police had visited the home twice, authorities said Tuesday, once after Castro called about a fight in the street and again in 2004 to investigate the bus incident.

'We're hoping for a miracle'

Investigators had previously speculated that the disappearances of Berry, DeJesus and another girl, 14-year-old Ashley Summers, may have been connected. Summers' family last saw her in July 2007, when she was 14.

Read CNN story on three missing from 2009

"We did in fact believe there was an association between the Berry case and the DeJesus case as well as the Summers case," said former FBI agent Jennifer Eakin. Eakin is now a case manager at the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, which in 2008 held a comprehensive review of the cases with the FBI and Cleveland police.

Now the Summers family is hoping that the Cleveland investigation will yield information about Ashley, her aunt, Debra Summers, said.

"We're hoping for a miracle," she said.

Anderson, the FBI spokeswoman, said investigators will question the three women found Monday in the hope that they know something about Summers' disappearance.
