The Cleveland Kidnappings: Ariel Castro

Between 2002 and 2004, three young women vanished from the streets of Cleveland, Ohio. Michelle Knight, Amanda Berry, and Gina DeJesus, each taken while walking alone, each disappearing without a trace. For over a decade, their families searched, their communities mourned, and their names became symbols of unanswered questions.The man responsible was Ariel Castro, a school bus driver who lived at 2207 Seymour Avenue in Cleveland’s Tremont neighbourhood. Behind the doors of his seemingly ordinary home, he concealed a nightmare. For years, Castro held Michelle, Amanda, and Gina captive, subjecting them to unimaginable suffering.Ariel Castro kidnappings"We're doing great" 10 years after Cleveland escapeCleveland abductor Ariel CastroKevin Sullivan, Amanda Berry, Mary Jordan, Gina DeJesus - Michelle Burford and Michelle Knight -
