Ohio Suspect Helped Search for Woman

Ties between Castro and families went back years.

Ariel Castro, the man who lived in the house where three women were found alive Monday after being missing for over a decade apiece, had participated in vigils for Gina DeJesus, one of the women found in house. DeJesus, who went missing in 2004 at the age of 14, was discovered at Castro’s Cleveland house along with Amanda Berry, 27, missing since 2003, and Michelle Knight, 32, missing since 2002. Castro’s daughter, Arlene Castro, also spoke to America’s Most Wanted in 2005 about DeJesus’s disappearance, and Castro’s son, Anthony, wrote about it for a local newspaper in 2004. Police have not yet charged Castro, 52, or his brothers, Pedro, 54, and Onil, 50, who have all been arrested in connection to the kidnappings.
