What happened:
Between 2002 to 2004, Michelle Knight (21), Amanda Berry (16), then Gina DeJesus (14), were kidnapped by a man named Ariel Castro who went on to restrain, abuse, and sexually assault the three women and girls “over and over.”
After roughly 10 years, in May 2013, Castro left his house one day and also left the door unlocked. Neighbors Charles Ramsey and Angel Cordero heard Amanda scream for help and kicked the door in, freeing her and her then-6-year-old daughter. Amanda called 911, and responding officers freed Michelle and Gina.
Castro died by suicide in December 2013.
