Cleveland Kidnapping Survivors Describe Rooms in Ariel Castro's Home, and How Far They've Come

Almost a year after kidnapping Berry, Castro searched for another girl just five blocks from where he took Berry. Gina DeJesus, who was a friend of Castro’s daughter, Arlene Castro, was 14 years old when she became his third prisoner. He took her to his house after asking her to help find his daughter. “He’s like, starts like, to like touch me and stuff, and then, I’m like, ‘What are you doing? You could go to jail?’” DeJesus told Roberts. He then led her to the basement, seen here, and though DeJesus said she fought him, he overpowered her and left her chained down there.
