I think the 911 operator should be sacked regardless for the way he handled Amanda Berry's plea for help, but listen to the call again - it sounds like he called her a "fùcking bitch" when he hangs up.

Listen from 1:50 onwards

Ya he says fuxking b1tch..he must feel pretty stupid. the girl was trapped for 10 years and he failed to show any compassion or try to comprehend who he was talking to

Has anyone checked google street view for the house where they were kept? Some aulwan sitting on the porch talking to the neighbour. Someone needs to find out when the google car passed through that estate :cool:

If this story was the plot for an upcoming movie script, I would say it wouldn't get next or near production stage.

The whole thing is quite unbelievable.

It will take many days,weeks,months for the whole story to come out.

The biggest question for me is how can someone go 10 years with 3 girls in his basement undetected.

Worse... :eek: He had them in his Basement and in the Attic, so he was moving them up and down, and allegedly had them out the back garden at least once, at night time (naked).

It is crazy how they didn't get caught.

I read this yesterday, but i don't know where the source could have come from, because as far as i was aware, the girls hadn't (haven't) yet spoken to the Police in any detail.

Every time any of them tried to escape, they were beaten in the Stomach, also, if any of the girls got impregnated, they were beaten in the stomach to cause a miscarriage.


Ariel Castro has been charged with FOUR counts of kidnapping and three counts of rape. Brothers are not going to trial.

Castro's two brothers Pedro and Onil, originally arrested in the case, were not charged, said prosecutor Victor Perez at a news conference.

The charges came as two of the newly freed victims, Amanda Berry, now 27, and Gina DeJesus, 23, had family homecomings after vanishing separately from their Cleveland neighborhood nearly a decade ago.

Castro, 52, faces four counts of kidnapping relating to Berry, DeJesus, Michelle Knight, and Berry's 6-year-old daughter who was conceived and born during her mother's captivity, authorities said.

Sure ban religion as well. It's only a load of auld hocus pocus.

actually pretty valid comparison......

religion gives people comfort in an uncertain world...

astrologers give people comfort in an uncertain world....

religion makes predictions about the future that it cant support....

astrologers make predictions about the future that they cant support.....

anyways.

You are right. Innocent until proven guilty. If they are genuinely innocent, its a shame that their pictures are on every news website on the net, and they will forever be associated with this.

Agree. Like Harris and Roache even if they are proven innocent the fact that they were arrested and associated with the underage sex scandal it will hang around them like a bad smell forever.

But how on earth could 1 guy be capable of overpowering the 3 of them all the time??? Surely 3 v 1 would win.

Mind games and threats.
Fritzl ensured his daughter and children didn't try to escape by saying that they would either be gassed or electrocuted if they tried to escape the cellar.
It's very possible this guy did something similar.

So the girls were chained up.

God!

Chained up in separate rooms it seems.
Jaysus...

It also is looking like the eldest, Michelle Knight (Who was never officially classed as missing) took most of the beatings..

There was a band member that used to go to practice in Ariel Castro's house. He was there last week.

On Thursday, a musician who often practiced at Ariel Castro’s house said he was there last week and heard noises, “like banging on the wall.” Ricky Sanchez said he asked Castro about it, and he blamed it on the dogs. He also said Castro — a bass guitarist in merengue and salsa bands — liked to play his music loud inside.
On his most recent visit, Sanchez said, a little girl came out from the kitchen and stared at him but didn’t say anything. He said he also noticed there were four or five locks on the outside door.

I am guessing, purely hypothetical, but is it possible he didn't lock up the 6 year old, because she is his daughter, and she may have helped Amanda Berry escape, or maybe gave Amanda a small amount of extra slack, to mind her child while he wasn't there.

Michelle Knight is still in hospital, apparently "recovering well".
Again, I'm guessing here, but given the circumstances probably not too far off the mark. I'd say Michelle Knight must've taken a recent beating.. Maybe it was her banging on the wall last week?
