healing. amanda berry is with her family and michelle knight still in the hospital. castro has been confessing about his actions over the past ten years to authority during interrogations. these exclusive pictures obtained by cnn give us the first glimpse of ariel castro's back yord. you can see junk strewn around and this eerie image of a white cross spotted by a neighbor. castro looked des respondent. following his arraignment, cuyahoga county prosecutor made it clear that additional charges could likely be added. he faces four counts of kidnap and three counts of rape. >> for each and every act of sexual violence, rape, each day of kidnapping, every felonious assault, all his attempted murders and each act of

aggravated murder. >> reporter: an initial police incident report says one of the women, michelle knight, became pregnant at least five times during her captivity and castro starved her, punched her repeatedly until she miscarried. amanda berry was able to give birth to her baby and castro forced knight to deliver it according to the report. knight gave the baby cpr when it stopped breathing. investigators sift through 200 pieces of evidence taken out of house of horrors, one in particular getting attention. details of a note written by castro in 20 04 has surfaced. he wrote about being abused by a family member in an attempt to justify his own horrid actions. castro says "i am a sexual predator" and write about picking up three women, saying they are here against their will because they made the mistake of getting in a car with a total stranger. sources say castro is

cooperating investigators and has confessed to some of his actions, ariel castro's daughter arlene, gave an emotional interview to abc news. >> i would like to say i am absolutely so, so sorry. i really want to see you, gina. and i want you to meet my kids. i'm so sorry for everything. >> reporter: and according to the ohio attorney general's office, there has been a rush placed on the results of the dna test for ariel castro, normally takes 20 days, we're expecting the results today. the samples will be run through a database, to see if castro's dna matches up with any previous crimes. >> pamela brown live from cleveland this morning. a fascinating twist in the cleveland investigation. ariel castro had close ties to the families of gina dejesus. the last and youngest of the three women that vanished more

than nine years ago. jo gina's mother tells abc news that after gina's disappearance, she would run into castro on occasion. >> you would see him, he would say how are you doing? >> yes. >> like nothing was wrong? >> yes. >> that's chilling. >> it is. >> all the while he had your daughter? >> yes. you know how many times i have been up and down that street, passed by that street. i have a sister who lives below two blocks and a half away from there. >> now a cnn exclusive. ariel castro's daughter, angie, another one, speaking out this morning. she told us her father is dead to her and says her family does not have monster in their blood.

cnn's laurie seagall with the exclusive from cleveland. she seems, angry, scared, and afraid of backlash. >> reporter: she described herself, says i feel disgust knowing this happened. and she and her father were very close. spent so much time in the home behind me. she had no idea, but she took some time to gather her thoughts and decided to come out with this yesterday and she wrote them all down, i want you to listen to what she said to me. >> i've put my words on paper, because i have a hard time expressing everything i want to say without forgetting certain things. i don't want to leave anything out right now. first of all, i can't tell you how relieved i am to see two of the girls and that beautiful baby return home to their families, and that michelle is getting the treatment she needs and deserves. i can't even begin to imagine the pain, frustration, and

loneliness inflected upon them all of these long years that they were held against their will at no fault of their own. it is going to be a long road for the victims, their families, and our family. my husband and i are in complete disbelief that the friendly, caring, doting man i knew as my daddy was, in fact, the most evil, i'll have, demonic criminal that i have met or heard of over the past ten years, i think of all the family outings, the phone calls, texts, the gifts and his support through other heartbreaking family ordeals, and i wonder, this whole time, how he could be so good to us, but he took young women, little girls, someone else's babies, away from these families and over the years never felt enough guilt to just

give up and let them free. he didn't have to go this route, he could have sought help before he got to the point where he had to act on these horrific urges he had, and to go to the vigils, to show these girls the footage of their parents' pleas of their return, to rape, starve, and beat innocent human beings, i am disgusted. i have been in the house on many occasions on seymour, and besides the peculiar ways i figured to be habits of a long time bachelor, i saw nothing alarming. i was usually invited over, and as my husband, children, and i visited, ate, looked at photos, and listened to music, he appeared to be happy to see us and never rushed for us to leave. i never heard anything out of place either, though the music was usually turned up. this was going on right under my nose.

the way i feel? not guilt, but sorrow, for the years stolen for these angels. these are the braves women out there. another brave woman, my mom, grimilda figueroa, she survived this monster too. she put up with beatings until one beating set her off and she decided she would take a stan. left him in the mid '90s and never looked back. she was free. unfortunately, she passed in april 2012, and not hear to answer a lot of the questions only she could answer. she was diagnosed with brain cancer, among other things, and died of an accidental overdose of her prescription pills, now a couple of very important points that i would like to say is that

this man who fathered me is not a reflection of who this family is and who i group to be. this family has had its shares of trials and tribulations. but the children of this family have ultimately paid a huge price as well. the names, photos, privacy, please be respected as we've been hurt enough. >> when you are reading this, you can hear the pain in your voice. you have learned that your father wasn't the guy you thought he was. what is that like? >> it's like a horror movie. it's watching a bad movie. >> only you're in it. >> only we're in it. we're the main characters, and days later, things are starting to come together for me. i never suspected anything was going on, but the more i sit and

swell dwell on it, i think of things that make a whole lot of sense now. >> and, carol, you hear her talking about the love, the abuse, she is really trying to wrap her head around the fact that the father she's known and raised her is not the man who said that he said he was. she said that yesterday was a tough day, because she had to sit down her sons, she's a mother and had to say this is what your grandfather did, a lot of tears, she said the younger one didn't quite understand, but right now, all just trying to grapple with the reality of what went on in the home behind me so many years. >> laurie, something that's difficult to understand, and i know that family violence, there is a lot of psychological twists and turns associated with that. on one hand, she said her father was a sweet, caring man, and on the other hand, she said her mother suffered from years and years of physical abuse. yet she never expected her father to allegedly have done

something like that abuse three women for a decade. it is just con founding somehow. >> that's a very good point. look, it's a very good point. and i asked her about this. and she said she was very young. her father would say things about her mother, like her mother was cheating and this was an alternate reality for her. she was so young when her mother got out of that home, she actually stayed in this home with her father for a year, she felt very protective of him. you can see the bond right now, so you can see the reality she was living in, wasn't exactly the reality she knows now. >> wow. laurie segall, thank you so much. in 20 minute, we'll hear more about all of the signs that make so much sense now. the locked doors, the loud music and the rooms she was never allowed to see. also coming up on the "newsroom," miracle in bang will determine. an amazing rescue. a woman pulled out alive after being trapped for 17 days in the

coverage out of ohio in a moment. first, back to the remarkable story of survival in bangladesh. a woman rescued after being trapped 17 days underneath the rubble of a collapsed garment factory. she cried for help. workers pulled more than 1,000 bodies from the debris. more than 1,000 people died. s sunina udas joins us now. how did this all unfold? >> reporter:ith really itit ii amazing story. rescue workers weren't expecting to find anyone alive. it is the 17th day. they were going through one of the lower floors, heard a faint cry of a woman crying for help. i'm alive, i'm alive, please rescue me. all of the workers started pinpointing exactly where she was, started digging and able to pull her out alive.

we've seen pictures of her. purple top, put on a stretcher and taken to a military hospital nearby. in the hospital, able to speak to the doctors there. she's even spoken to the prime minister of the country. she is in stable condition. >> you would assume she wouldn't have any food or water, or did she have access to something? 17 days she was buried. >> reporter: that's right. very unusual for anyone to survive underneath nthat kind o rubble in the temperatures, very hot in bangladesh or in this part of the world in general right now. but some of the local media reports there mentioned that perhaps she survived because early on in the rescue operation, the rescue workers were spraying a lot of oxygen and water into that building. so perhaps she was in one of those pockets where there was some oxygen and some water, and

perhaps that's why she was able to survive. also, she had no injuries, there was no bleeding when they found her, so that's also another reason why she was able to survive for that long. carol. >> unbelievable. sumnina udas, thank you so muchly. >>. >> more on the story from ohio. an answer may come from the writings of ariel castro on why three women were held for more than a decade. day crowd. ♪ [ male announcer ] the parking lot helps by letting us know who's coming. the carts keep everyone on the right track. the power tools introduce themselves. all the bits and bulbs keep themselves stocked. and the doors even handle the checkout so we can work on that thing that's stuck in the thing.

confirmed through other media outlets, police found it, i'm being told that actually now that the fbi might have tracked it down in the house where they were searching in the earlier in the week and this note, some people call it a suicide note, some people call it a confession, dates back to 2004, investigators believe that ariel castro wrote that note and they found it earlier this week. >> dates back to 2004, and when you say he talks of suicide, what exactly does he say about that? >> he talked about killing himself. he says that he's a sexual predator in the note. he says he's sick, isn't sure what is wrong in his head. that he needs help. he also as i mentioned, talks about killing himself and when he's dead, taking all of the money that he has saved and giving it to his victims. he says my victims. now this note i believe was

written after michelle was already in there, remember, abducted in 2004, michelle knight, and amanda berry, 2003 abducted, and written by ariel castro shortly after gina dejesus was taken, at the age of 14 on a cleveland street back in 2004. >> in the same writings, he also placed blame on the victims. >> yeah, he does kind of in a crypt ic way. he says to potential victims of other predators, hey, make sure you don't get in somebody's car. that was the case of gina and amm amanda. he is somehow blaming the victims. but then he goes on and says he apologizes. he apologizes to anyone, anyone at all, that this has affect. >> so strange, and when your

source was showing you this document, what was his or her reaction? >> you know what? i'm not going to talk about that at all. i'm very protective of my sources, i'm an investigative journalist in town. and as a fellow journalist, you don't really talk about your sources. >> no, i totally understand. it's just so confusing. if he wrote these things in 2004 and went on to kidnap other women, keep them more than a decade, it's strange. >> yeah, but he didn't go on and kidnap other victims, according to this letter. remember, you may not know about this, but written in 2004, and he said in this letter, if you -- if it turns out he did write this letter, he said that he only did bad things to three women. just a total of three women. he also says, that he has no feeling, no feeling for the bad

things that he's done. >> unbelievable. scott taylor, thank you for sharing the information. we appreciate it. >> any time. >> the accused kidnapper's daughter says his actions over the years were odd, but now make sense to her. >> ever since my mom lived in that house, the basement was always kept locked. i asked him if i could see my room for old times sake, and he said there is so much junk up there, you don't want to go up there. >> more from the cnn exclusive, when we come back. great first gig! let's go! party! awwwww... arigato! we are outta here! party......

believes he could have helped cleveland police end this kidnapping nightmare nine years ago. >> my brother and i were driving down the street on the day gina dejesus was abducted. >> reporter: the street was west 105th, on a couple of blocks from the school that gina was abducted from. >> a girl walking down the street. >> right there by the corner, by the brick building. >> what did you see a driver do after that? >> once we crossed fidelity, he swerved in front of us, almost hitting us, to get into the parking lane quote-unquote is, and as soon as we passed him up, he did a u-turn, hit a u-turn right in front of toward where the little girl was walking. >> reporter: this week's police report about the case, authorities reveal that gina has confirmed she was kidnapped from west 105th street. after they saw the card make a

u-turn and head towards the girl. angry they almost got hit by the driver and concerned about the girl. when they got to the spot they had seen the girl, they no longer did. she was gone. not long before reports surfaced about a missing girl. eric and his brother immediately called the police to tell them what they saw. >> wearing tight black pants and a puffy gray jacket. >> reporter: what was the description? >> a little girl, puerto rican girl, long curly black hair, wearing tight black pants and gray puffy jacket. >> reporter: same exact description. >> same exact description. they seemed like they were looking for us like we were looking for attention or something like that. >> reporter: the police? >> yeah. they didn't give any real true desire to the case. you know what i'm saying. what we were telling them. they thought we were blowing smoke up their butts or something? >> reporter: why do you think that is? >> i have no clue. >> reporter: that is the face they saw behind the wheel that

day. but theirs isn't the only story that if acted upon could have ended the terror. in 2004, after castro, a school bus driver, allegedly kidnapped two girls and about to kidnap gina dejesus, he left a child on the bus as he headed into the bus depot. why wasn't he more aggressively questioned about the incident. her was interviewed extensively relative to the complaint we had. he was not a suspect in any other complaint. he was a bus driver who inadvertently, so he says, left a kid on the bus, went in for a lunch break, came back, and then found the young man. >> reporter: castro never prosecuted for that incident. a year later, castro accused in court documents of repeated abuse and domestic violence against his common law wife, grimelda figure rfigueroa.

the case was eventually dismissed. police strongly defend their work in the case, say they have no records of recent calls pertaining to castrol they tell us they are not able to confirm if they have records talking to eric poindexter and his brother when gina was kidnapped. >> i believe that little girl was gina dejesus. >> reporter: police will continue to investigate if other calls have been made over the years. gary tuchman, cnn, cleveland. we'll have more special coverage from ohio in a minute. but coming up next in the newsroom, prince harry visits arlington national cemetery. we'll take you live to the tomb of the unknowns as the british royal pays tribute to fallen soldiers of war. nom, nom, nom.

the crime? >> well, ultimately the jurors are the triers of fact, and you want to be able as a prosecutor be able to put them in the middle of things to judge what a witness is saying, a witness' credibility, sort of the space, whether or not the testimony sounds appropriate, according to the crime scene, and so i think while unusual, it's really not unprecedented. is really isn't unheard of, for lawyers to want to visit the crime scene, in o.j.'s case, the criminal and civil case, jurors visit the crime scene, phil spector, the jurors visit the crime scene, and i think that it actually can be quite helpful for a jury to be right there where something is alleged to have happened. >> the defense asking that the jurors remain anonymous, but jurors always remain anonymous, don't they? >> well, they do. but there are juror lists and oftentimes the identities of the

jurors are released and i think in a case like this, we saw what happened to the jurors in the casey anthony trial, and i think in a case like this, carol, it makes a lot of sense to make sure that those jurors maintained their anonymity if they want it. that will be very important to this jury. going into the trial, because if they think that perhaps they will get the sort of flack that the casey anthony jurors got, that could sort of dissuade certain jurors from even wanting to serve. >> if the judge says the jury has to be sequestered, remain isolated, wouldn't it solve the problem? >> it could, but i've got to tell you, jury sequestration, extremely expensive. in the casey anthony case, $350,000 to sequester the jury during the trial. we're talking about feeding, housing, transporting, securing

the jury. very expensive. and i don't know that's always the best thing to do. and in florida, clearly, there is precedent because of the casey anthony trial. not so sure that it's always the best option for jurors if this is a long trial, carol, can you imagine being away from your families, your home, your friends for that long. that could be very difficult for a jury, and sometimes people think it leads to this group think that is not necessarily what the jury system should be about. >> got it. sunny hostin, we'll check back when a decision is made. thanks so much. new york home to the nation's tallest building once again, the final pieces are bolted into place at 1 world trade center.

the last time a couple months ago, where her father was cooking a meal. never thought of it. now that she knows this happened, she is beginning put together pieces. were there any clues, and she said there absolutely were. listen to what she said, carol. >> my husband and i are in complete disbelief that friendly, caring, doting man i knew as my daddy was the most evil, i'll have, demonic criminal that i have met or heard of over the past ten years. >> reporter: this is part of a letter that angie gregg wrote after learning her father was behind the brutal kidnapping in cleveland, ohio. now she's speaking out. >> to go to the vigils, to show these girls footage of their parents' pleas for their returns, to rape, starve, beat innocent human beings, i'm disgusted. >> your father wasn't the guy you thought he was. >> no. >> reporter: what is that like? >> it's -- it's like a horror

movie. like watching a bad movie. >> reporter: only you're in it. >> only we're in it, we're you know, the main characters, and i never suspected anything was going on, but the more i sit and dwell on it, i think of things that make a whole lot of sense now. >> reporter: you look back and say you can piece together -- beginning piece together a puzzle. where were the signs? >> well, he never wanted to leave the house more than a day at a time. he was adamant in the fact that he wanted to leave home early morning and he to be back by evening. >> were there certain areas in the home that were off-limits? >> ever since my mom lived in that house, the basement was always kept locked. i have never been upstairs in the house, and i never had reason to be. i asked him if i could see my room for old times sake, and he said there is so much junk up there, you don't want to go up

there. >> you think what might have been -- what was behind those doors, how do you -- how do you cope with that? >> it all makes sense now. now i know. ith hard, but i have -- i have no sympathy for the man. i have no sympathy. he was just another -- another person who has lied, deceived, manipulated people and i -- i could never forgive him. i could never forgive him. if you were to ask me last week, i would have told you he is the best dad and best grandpa. >> reporter: now angie realizes that ariel castro may have phatered a daughter with one of the women that he held captive, meaning she may have a sister. >> he showed me a picture in a cell phone randomly. he said look at this cute little girl. it was a face shot, and i said she's cute.

who is that? you know, he said this is my girlfriend's child. and i said, dad. that girl looks like emily. emily is my younger sister, and he said, no, that's not my child. that's my girlfriend's child by somebody else. >> reporter: angie says she was always close with her father, but witnessed abuse in the home. >> he was pretty jealous, always saying that my mom was, you know, messing with certain neighbors, things like that, and i've seen -- i've seen him basically stomp on her like she was a man, like -- he's beat her pretty bad several times. >> reporter: her mother passed away from cancer-related complications in 2012. >> i've lost my mother, now i've lost a father, but i don't -- i don't try cry for him. >> reporter: if you had a message for him, what would it be? >> all this time,

why -- don't even know what to say. why after all this time? why did you do it in the first place? why did you take these girls, and why did you never leave, and why did you never -- why did you never feel guilty enough to let them go? >> what message do you have for these women and their families? >> i feel so much sorrow that you had to endure this. i'm glad that you're back home with your family finally because they never stopped thinking about you. they never stopped -- he they never forgot you. you know, right now these girls need to heal. >> do you feel thatture going to need to heal too? >> i'll be fine. i wasn't submitted to the horror that they were. >> in a day you've lost the man that raised you. that must be hard. >> he is nothing but a memory anymore. he can never be daddy again.

>> and, carol, you hear her refer to him as daddy. she wrote on his facebook page just a couple of weeks ago i love you, daddy, and that's how she referred to him, and you see that that's completely over now. she has a harsh reality to face. when i was about to leave her home, she was showing me a couple of pictures, carol. she showed me a picture of her father, of ariel, on a moneying surrounded by children, and she said, laurie, the neighbors trusted him with the children. he used to ride around with the kids around the block. this has obviously been a shock, and she's really trying to wrap her head around it. >> i know domestic violence is incredibly difficult to understand and the way it affects family members, but angie's mom, broken nose twice, broken ribs, filed a protective order against ariel castro. was she never afraid of her father? >> you know what, when i spoke to him, i asked her about it. she said that she grew up under

the impression she was listening to what her father said, which was that her mother was cheating and was going around the neighborhood, and i think, you know, she was a young girl at the time. she says she felt very protective of him. she actually stayed in the home when the family members had left, and she stayed there for a year, so she had a bond towards him. she's faced abuse in her life. you know, she's faced a lot of things, and it's one of these times where you can't -- you can ask why, but it's very, very tough to answer. >> but she was never abused by her father? >> she was never -- i asked her that. she was never physically abused by her father. she witnessed a lot of abuse in the home. she has other stories that she's told us, but by her father, she said he was loving. she said the occasional spanking was the only -- was the only sign of it, but that was it, but she did see, and i think now she's putting together these pieces when it comes to her mother, and she's beginning to have a whole new understanding of the pain and the trauma her mother faced.

>> all right. laurie seagall, thank you so much. you'll hear more from angie. she says her dad -- actually, you just heard -- her dad showed her a photo of a girl on his cell phone, and now she thinks that was actually the child born in captivity. it was amanda berry's child. she'll talk more about that in the next hour of "newsroom."

once-a-day prescription blood thinner for patients with afib not caused by a heart valve problem, that doesn't require routine blood monitoring. like warfarin, xarelto® is proven effective to reduce the risk of an afib-related stroke. there is limited data on how these drugs compare when warfarin is well managed. no routine blood monitoring means bob can spend his extra time however he likes. new zealand! xarelto® is just one pill a day, taken with the evening meal. and with no dietary restrictions, bob can eat the healthy foods he likes. do not stop taking xarelto® rivaroxaban without talking to the doctor who prescribes it for you. stopping may increase your risk of having a stroke. get medical help right away if you develop any signs or symptoms of bleeding, like unusual bruising or tingling. you may have a higher risk of bleeding if you take xarelto® with aspirin products, nsaids or blood thinners. talk to your doctor before taking xarelto® if you currently have abnormal bleeding. xarelto® can cause bleeding, which can be serious, and rarely may lead to death.

you are likely to bruise more easily on xarelto®, and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. tell your doctors you are taking xarelto® before any planned medical or dental procedures. before starting xarelto®, tell your doctor about any conditions, such as kidney, liver or bleeding problems. ready to change your routine? ask your doctor about once-a-day xarelto®. for more information including cost support options, call 1-888-xarelto or visit goxarelto.com. vietnam in 1972.

happening a daughter of ariel castro breaking her silence. >> have i no problem cutting him out of our life. i never want to see him again. >> she's opening up talking about her father and piecing together the horrors that happened in her childhood home. >> ever since my mom lived in that house, the basement was always kept locked. >> the warning signs. at abuse, and her message to her father. >> there will be no visits. there will be no phone calls. he is dead to me. >> this morning cleveland comes together. a vigil. then a pause. to mend and heal. a special edition of "newsroom" live from cleveland begins right now.

good morning. thank you so much for being with me. i'm carol cost yoel. we do begin in cleveland where police have intensified their search in the backyard of ariel castro's home. what they find could help prosecutors seek the death penalty against him. we're also hearing from ariel castro's daughter. the man she once logly called daddy, she calls evil, vile, and demonic. >> my father's actions are not a reflection of everyone in the family. they're definitely not a reflection of myself or my children. we don't have monster in our blood. >> do you look at your dad -- you call him monster? >> yes. >> yes. there will be no visits. there will be no phone calls. he is dead to me. >> and a community unionitis in

its grief and shock. clevelanders hold vigils to seek healing together. let's go live to cleveland now and pamela brown has new information on the dna evidence taken from ariel castro. what can you tell, you pam? >> well, carol, we have learned that the state crime lab worked overnight to expedite the results, samples taken of ariel castro's dna. the preliminary results of his dna profile have been sent to cleveland police. we're still waiting to find out exactly what's going to happen from here. we have been reaching out to police and the prosecutor's office, but what we do know is that essentially officials will run his dna through a database to see if it matches up with any previous crimes or previous missing person cases. >> and, pam -- i'm sorry. are they still searching in the backyard as we speak, or are they done doing that now?

>> it's hard to say, carol. you know, officials are staying very tight-lipped about the investigation. we know there have been several searches. we've seen the exclusive pictures in the backyard of ariel castro's house where the fbi put up tarps and dug holes, and it does seem like in talking to my sources that this is ongoing, so it wouldn't be surprising if there are more searches in the house and the yard there of ariel castro's home. >> i'm assuming police are keeping very tight-lipped about what they may or may not be finding. >> they are, but, carol, i've spoken to sources, and weave learned more about a note that was taken out of the home during a search. this is a note that ariel castro allegedly wrote back in 2004, and in it essentially he is just filing his actions for abducting the women, explaining that some of it has to do with some abuse endured by his family member earlier on in life, and he is actually arks coringed to sources, according to a reporter

for woio blaming the girls for what happened saying that they should have never gotten in the car with the stranger in the first place, and these notes, he is also talking about how -- just how that they played a role in all this and how basically he is not to blame, but they are, so very disturbing stuff there, carol. >> you're not kidding. pamela brown, reporting live from cleveland this morning. if ariel castro is guilty of forcing his captives to suffer miscarriages, he could get the death penalty? ohio prosecutors say yes. making murder charges stick won't be easy, so we want to talk about that. welcome to you both. >> thank you. >> thank you for being here. so the prosecutor says the law of ohio calls for the death penalty for those most aggravated murder during the course of a kidnapping. if castro caused a miscarriage, would that stick the law, carrie? >> if he purposefully causes the termination of a pregnancy, that

can be aggravated murder. in this case i think it's going to be a little bit more difficult because we're going to have to prove, first, the causation, and, second, the pregnancy actually occurred. i think the investigation in trying to determine whether there actually is a fetus is going to be very integral and important. >> that's probably why they're digging up the yard, right? >> yeah. >> 31 states have fetal homicide laws, including ohio and georgia. can you just in general outline what those laws say? >> well, basically they're treating the fetus as a person, and if there's an unwanted or unlawful termination of a pregnancy, it's just like killing someone. it's just like -- >> at any point during the pregnancy? >> yes. basically there's not a lot of case law to determine when it's okay and when it's not okay as long as it's unlawful, and that's the key thing. if it's unlawful, it can be aggravated murder. if it can be agency vated murder, it can mean the death penalty. >> frankly, we only have the victim's word for this, right? how could police get proof that

this actually happened? >> i don't think we know yet what we have. i think that we could just have the victim's word. these other women that were held captive as well could have witnessed the pregnancy, so that victim's word could be corroborated ultimately. they could find the fetus in the backyard or somewhere else. they could determine that there are other physical signs that have shown that this woman has gone through a pregnancy, and certainly she hadn't before the time that she was kidnapped. >> i understand according to some laws in some states that a doctor has to actually examine a fetus or have some other sort of proof that a woman was pregnant, and i can understand how there might be signs a woman was pregnant, although very early on i don't know if -- it would be hard to detect. >> i don't think ultimately they anticipate convicting him and sending him to death based on these unwanted or unlawful termination pregnancies. they're going to use that as leverage. they're going to say, look, we're going to charge you with aggravated murder. you're facing the death penalty, so it is in your best interest

to go ahead, cooperate with this investigation, plead guilty, and serve the rest of your life in prison. >> well, i know a lot of women who say he should face the death penalty anyway. right? but that you can't for rape and kidnapping, and stealing someone's young life and -- >> not in ohio. >> the thing about that tooshg the death penalty, if we really want to do that, we're talking about a lengthy trial, we're talking about a lot of appeals, and do these women really want to go through this experience again? >> that's a tough question. only they can answer. i think back to jaycee dugard, right? she went through all of that, and it had to be horrible for her. the judge had -- yok she ever appeared in the courtroom, right? he protected her. >> i don't believe she did. >> still, she had to, like -- >> there was a lot of psychological trauma from having to testify, i believe, regardless of the situation, whether you needed to appear in front of your captor or not.

>> carrie, paige thank you for joining us this morning. more on the special coverage from ohio in a moment, but, first, an xwrenl story uf survival out of bangladesh. a woman was rescued after spending 17 days trapped underneath the rubble of a collapsed garment factory. crews somehow heard her pleas for help, and they eventually, as you can see, pulled her from the debris. she was underneath that rubble for 17 days. she's now being treated at a hospital. in the dasz following the building's collapse, 2,400 people were, indeed, freed, but early on in this process 1,000 people died in this factory collapse. >> coming up in the newsroom, an unexpected break in the jodi arias murder trial. why the proceedings are now on hold, and why arias has been moved to another facility. my mantra?

casey, take us through what happened. >> it was a bizarre day, carol, as if this case needed to get my more bizarre. there was supposed to be a hearing at 1:00 local time at the beginning of sort of the penalty phase in the jodi arias case where jurors would decide whether there were aggravating factors in this horrific murder that could make her eligible for the death penalty. we sat around, several reporters, outside the courtroom, waiting for the proceedings to begin at 1:00. at 1:30 a court official came out and said proceedings have been delayed until wednesday of next week. giving no explanation. later we found out about that exparte meeting you referenced between jodi arias, her defense attorneys, and the judge. the results of that meeting were put under seal, so we don't know exactly what was discussed, but we do know proceedings have been delayed until wednesday of next week, carol. >> okay. so jodi arias is now in a psych ward. what do we know about her mental

health? >> well, we know that as you mentioned, she is in the psychiatric ward here at the lower buckeye jail, known as lbj, run by maricopa county sheriff joe arrpajo. as a result of that interview she gave right after her conviction where she talked about wanting the death penalty. she had also sent out tweets through an intermediary talking about suicide. apparently enough to raise concerns about her mental well being. she is under psychiatric watch. one indication of how serious this issue may be, her mother tried to come here last night and visit her in jail. she was not able to see jodi. carol. >> casey wyan reporting live from phoenix this morning. just ahead, more coverage out of ohio and also the latest on the boston marathon bombing. why authorities suspected the finish line could be a bomb target days before that attack went down. we'll be right back.

from ohio, but, first, a check of other top stories at 17 minutes past the hour. supporters of same-sex marriage are cheering a major step in minnesota. the statehouse passed a bill to legalize same-sex marriage. the state senate is expected to follow suit, and the governor says he will sign that bill into law. as of now 11 states and the district of columbia allow same-sex marriages. one world trade center is now officially the tallest building in the western hemisphere. this morning construction crews finished bolting a 408 foot tall spire into place. the manhattan building is now 1,7076 feet tall. it will serve as a broadcast antenna. the international space station crew will take care of a repair job tomorrow. the commander tweets the two crew members will go on a space walk to fix an ammonia leak. it was detected after the crew saw small white flakes floating away from the station. no one is in any danger of the leak.

an intelligence assessment just days before the boston marathon bombing warned that the finish line could be a target for a bomb tag attack. a spokesman for the massachusetts state police is playing down that report saying the alert was based on commonsense, not a specific threat. in the meantime, boston's police commissioner testifies before congress about the attack. >> if we knew everything that we know now absent the blast -- without the blast being involved in it, but if we knew all of these things that have come out since then, we would have taken a hard look at these, but at this point in time i can't say that when we knew things that we would have done anything differently. >> davis also said authorities must protect civil liberties as they work to fortify vulnerable targets. some new details too in the older bombing suspect's six-month stint last year in russia. time magazine is reporting tamerlan tsarnaev spent a lot of time with a distant cousin who happens to be one of the area's

back to our special coverage in the cleveland kidnapping case. there are very few people who can truly understand what those three ohio women went through in

their nearly decade long captivity. jessica christianson, sadly, knows this firsthand. she was abducted in 19 95. for three and a half months jessica was held hostage by someone known for her family. she was 13 years old at the time. jessica suffered physical, mental, and sexual abuse from her kidnapper, and she was rescued only when someone noticed her abductor ask called police. jessica mulliver christianson joins us now. good morning, jessica. thank you so much for being with us. >> good morning. thank you for having me. >> thank you so much for sharing your story. we really appreciate it. you were abducted by someone known to you when you were 13. you were in a car with him. at what point did you realize that he was kidnapping you? >> i didn't realize he was kidnapping me until about two hours into the trip. i fell asleep, and i woke up, and he had tied me to the inside of the car, and he told me you

are not going home. your name is going to be sydney johnson. i'm going to be your dad, dave johnson, and you're going to listen to me and do what i tell you. >> i'm sure at some point you fought back right away, but we always hear about kidnapping victims being brainwashed. did the brainwashing start right away. >> i would sayyaf three weeks he had convinced me that any name was sydney johnson, that i was dumb, stupid, fat, ugly. my parents didn't want me. they didn't love me. after you hear this so many times, you begin to believe it. even when the fbi came to rescue me, they asked me if my name was jessica mullenberg, and i said no, my name was sydney johnson. >> during all the -- saying all of these horrible things to you, he was also beating you physically, and you still have problems where your jaw today because of that, right?

>> dow. if i didn't do a sexual act the way he wanted me to do it or if i didn't eat something he wanted notice have, he would hit me with his hands, his fists, so now i have a deteriorated jaw, and i have had ten jaw surgeries and need another one. >> i think it's difficult for people who haven't been through that kind of trauma, that kind of hell to understand yp amanda berry. the other two women didn't follow her out the door. they only came out of hiding when police arrived, when police went into the house. what was their mindset? can you help us understand? >> i wasn't held captive as long as they had been, and i don't know their circumstances, but generally the person, the kidnapper, someone that has you, they threaten you, i'm going to kill you if you don't do this,

or they say they're going to kill you or your family members, and most people's instincts are to save your other family members in place of you. the other thing is that sometimes you are tied up, and you just can't get out. you don't have phone access. it's not always possible to get out like people think you can. >> and i would suspect your world shrinks and a part of you depends on this horrible person holding you captive. at what point did that happen in your ordeal? >> i'm sorry? >> i would think that you would become dependent in the way on the person who kidnapped you. did that happen to you too? >> well, you are. i mean, i was locked up in the bedroom for three and a half months. i couldn't go anywhere. i couldn't do anything. i couldn't talk to anybody. your only source to talk to or source of food is from your kidnapper, so you have to listen to them so that you get the nutrients and the stuff that you need in order to survive.

>> the other part about this would be the loneliness because he didn't let you see or talk to anyone but him. how did you handle that, and come out the wonderful person you are today? >> it's very hard. i mean, i just kept on thinking of getting back to my friends, getting back to my family members, to the people that cared about me. you know, i did some homework, schooling that he gave me, and i just, you know, imaged happy times in my life to try to get through it day by day. >> so even though he made you believe that your family didn't want you back, that they hated you, that you were worthless, a part of yourself remained strong? >> i just knew, like, inside that there was something out there worth fighting for, and you have to do that in order to survive, and if that means, you know, getting hit and being raped, you know, you just have

to work through that for the outcome, and i did. >> when you were finally rescued, can you describe the scene for us? >> yeah. i was at the houston, texas, airport, and with the fbi agents, and then i saw my mom coming out of the airport, and i ran to her and i gave her a huge hug, and it was just the most wonderful thing ever, and i got to me see my stepdad and my two brothers, and it was a true blessing and something i that worked for very hard. >> we're seeing the reunion scenes now, and it's really touching. what was your first night at home like? >> it was really hard. you know, when you are used to being tied up and getting beaten in a room that's quiet, it's hard to get back to a regular life and regular routine. it's not something that comes overnight. it takes time. >> how did you do it?

>> i just took it, you know, one day at a time. you know, i talked to the media. i talked to my family. the biggest thing that i did was i involved myself in so much stuff that i was so busy. i went to school, to work, to sports, to homework and to bed, and i did that until now, so i just got a full-time job and did sports and kept myself busy so i didn't have to think about all the stuff that happened to me. >> and you have also said as a victim, you felt you got a lot of the blame because you were not able to escape without help. what did people say to make you feel that way? >> unfortunately, it is going to happen. i got it from the media, from my friends, people at school, high school. you know, they're going to tell you, you know, why didn't you run away? why didn't you just call? why didn't you say your name? why didn't you get out of the

car? you know, unless they're in that situation, you know, they don't know what it's like to be tied up, not being able to call your family or friends, you know. oliver changed the numbers on the phone so i couldn't call. i was stabbed the night before i was kidnapped, and i was afraid he was going to kill me. at the airport he had a knife to my back, so i couldn't just scream and get away. >> so what advice would you give to these three young women in cleveland, because i know you speak a lot to community groups, and you talk about what happened to you in an effort to make people understand. >> i just tell them to just take it one day at a time. don't get too overwhelmed. you know, they are the heroes. they made it through this whole or deal. that's a very long time, for ten years, and that's how strong and courageous they are.

>> in our eyes you are courageous too, and thank you so much for sharing your story this morning. >> i appreciate it. >> jessica mullenberg christianson, thank you so were. a cleveland neighborhood wakes township a new reality. the site of one of cleveland's most chilling crimes. we'll talk about the new face of seymour street just ahead.

our special coverage of the kidnapping case. the tight-knit neighborhood where the home those three women were held captive in for years is beginning to understand a new reality. that a horrible and brutal crime was happening right next door. zarida is in cleveland, and you

spent a lot of time in that neighborhood. what's it like when you walk down the street? >> i've got some dogs barking behind me. this just happened. we have police walking around again. some sheriffs with some dogs two houses across the street. i just want to make sure that you could get a shot of that and see that happening. we haven't seen a lot of police activity here this morning. we just saw that there was a police car now parked at the end. typically we're seeing them here right by where we are, but this is brand new. not sure what they're looking for, if anything at all, but we had not seen the dogs on that side of the street until now. just wanted to make sure thaw got a shot of that. in the meantime, you know, carol, this community is attempting to recover. this has been a very complicated situation for the members of this community. you know, their streets are blocked off. they have to ask for permission to pass by. they have to show their id's when, you know, they try to get into their homes. if you recall also, carol, it was just a year ago that police got that tip from somebody in jail that said that amanda

berry's body was here and it was buried, and that was just on the other side of this block, and so this community has had to suffer a lot in the last couple of years, and so it's been very difficult for them. one thing that they definitely do want, this community is full of a lot of hispanics, a lot of blacks, a lot of puerto ricans, and what they want is for the world to now not define them by just one individual and one individual's actions. we actually spoke this morning to viktor, the chief assistant prosecutor, and when he was actually reading the charges, he made it a point to talk about this very specific thing. let's listen to what he says. >> the puerto rican community is a hard-working community. it's a community that has sacrificed a lot for our country, a lot of us have -- after -- that the purityee reekan community is every where. everywhere i go in the world i run into somebody from puerto

rico. there's over three million people in puerto rico. there's over three million people in the united states, and we are more than just the acts of this individual committed for the last decade. >> you know, carol, everybody is walking around, and they're saying this man is a monster, but what they don't want is for everybody to think that the community is like that. >> well, i also know that the neighbors are concerned, that police really haven't paid much attention to that neighbor or as much attention as they should have paid through the years. do they think things will be different after that yellow crime scene tape comes down? >> i know. well, you know what, some of that healing has started already. some of the authorities -- some of the police had a meeting last night not too far from here actually at a church, and a lot of the community members did show up, and they were talking about that. you know, about the reports that we hear that, you know, when somebody calls from this community that the police ignore them or don't show up.

it's definitely not in a timely manner in their big concern here. so they had an opportunity to talk it out, and they were there in order to assist the people in the community. they're very concerned about the number of children that are kidnapped here, so they address that very specifically. i have to tell you, on the flip side of that, a lot of the community members praised the police department for their swift actions in handling this particular case. it's going to take some time, but it does look like at least the dialogue has begun. >> yeah. that's a good first step. zoraida sambolin, thanks so much. we're hearing more from ariel castro. we're hearing more from one of his daughters, actually, and she has no doubt he is guilty. angie greg says he is dead to me. more of her exclusive interview next. nom, nom, nom.

her father. they spent a lot of time here at this home on seymour avenue. she was here a couple of months ago. they were having dinner, and they were listening to music, and she is beginning to piece together the puzzles -- those puzzles, but she has unanswered questions. i spoke to her. listen to what she had to say, carol. >> i do take comfort in knowing that these girls are going to be with their families, and they have a lot of good people, you know, giving them support on their side, and, you know, one day they'll have a normal life again. i mean, it's going to take some time, but they're going to have a normal life. >> your life is never going to be the same. do you feel like you've lost a father? >> i've lost my mother. now i've lost a father. i don't cry for him. i don't cry for him. >> if you could say anything to

ariel, if you had a message for him, what would it be? >> all this time -- all this time why? like, why? i don't even know what to say. why after all this time? why did you do it in the first place? why did you take these girls, and why did you never leave, and why did you never -- why did you never feel guilty enough to let them go? >> your family is attached to this stigma. what is the message that you want to tell people that they might not understand? >> that my father's actions are not a reflection of everyone in the family. they're definitely not a reflection of myself or my children. we don't have monster in our blood.

>> you look at your dad and you see a moonster? >> yes. there will be no visits. there will be no phone calls. he is dead to me. >> in a day you lost -- you've lost the man that raised you. that must be hard. >> he is nothing but a memory anymore. he can never be daddy again. >> but for so long he was daddy to you. you called him daddy. you wrote on his facebook wall, i love you, daddy. how do you grapple with it? >> it's hard, but i have no sympathy for the man. i have no sympathy. he was just another person who has lied and deceived and manipulated people, and i could never forgive him. the ariel that i knew that if you would have asked me this

last week aring, i would have told you he is the best dad and the best grandpa, and he was very kind and loving, and he did for me and he did for his grandchildren. i just wouldn't -- would i have never saw this coming ever until i saw it with my own eyeballs. >> when people talk about the 6-year-old that they're saying could have been a child that he had with one of these women who he was holding captive, did you ever see any signs of a 6-year-old there? did you ever see him with her? >> i never saw signs in the house. i never saw, you know, her with him, but about two months ago he picked me up. we spent the afternoon together. i just had some service on my car, and he showed me a picture that was in his cell phone randomly, and he said look at this cute little girl. it was a face shot, and i said

she's cute. who was that? you know? he said this is my girlfriend's child. i said, dad, that girl looks like emily. emily is my younger sister. he said, no, that's not my child. this is my girlfriend's child by somebody else. i said, dad, if you're not sure, you need to get a paternity test, and he changed the subject again. then i told him, dad, if there's one of us floating around out there, if i have another sister, then i would like to know about it so i can be in her life, and he changed the subject, and i just never brought it back up. i figured at the most he had an illegitimate child out there, you know, and i would find out eventually, so i never really put much more thought to it. >> looking back now and knowing that this could, in fact, have been the child of a woman that he held captive for years and

years, how do you feel when you think about that? >> i never would have thought that when i first saw the picture of amanda in the hospital bed with the little girl on tv, i knew that was her because i never forgot that face. she looks so much like my sister, it's surreal. >> she says she feels a connection, the idea that she could potentially have a sister. it's a lot to focus on, but i asked her, would you want to see this little girl, and she said, you know, absolutely, but she knows that there's going to be a lot of time and a lot of healing involved with this, and she might never want to see her, but she says she feels a connection. carol. >> i know she also told you that she visited her father in that house of horror many times, and the basement was always locked up. in fact, the basement was always locked even from when she was a little girl, ask actually lived

in that home. was she never curious to know what was inside? >> it's a good question. when she was younger, she said she would pick the lock, but this is in the early 1990s, and she went down there, and she was snooping around, and there was a fish tank. she thought that was a little bit weird. she kind of lost that curiosity throughout the years. she just kind of accepted it. when she was younger, she did have that curiosity, and now those pieces are piecing together, and these clues and the idea that her father would take a long time to come to the door or the fact that he would play this music really loud. now it's unfortunately all making sense to her. carol. >> laurie seagull, thank you so much reporting live from cleveland this morning. we'll be back with much more. change makes people nervous. but i see a world bursting with opportunity, with ideas, with ambition. i'm thinking about china, brazil, india. the world's a big place. i want to be a part of it. ishares international etfs. emerging markets and single countries. find out why nine out of ten large professional investors
