10:03 pm
house. and crazy stories from neighbors, greta, who, in some cases, apparently heard things, called police, according to them, and officers never went inside. there's also reports that there may be things in the backyard that they are sifting through and looking for as they continue their search for evidence. >> imagine going through it with a fine-tooth comb. we look over and see the huge crowds of fbi going in and going out. you wonder who have they spoken to? did they speak to the young women? >> we are told the fbi interviewed all three of the victims today. we told that they will question the three suspects, the three castro brothers, tomorrow. there's a federal mandate that threes three men, if they are going to be charged, have to be charged within 48 hours. we are told that will happen before tomorrow night. >> it's interesting, some people saw nothing and some people saw weird stuff and called the police over the years. >> we heard reports that someone saw a naked woman in the backyard. and others seem for innocuous, but one woman was suspicious
10:04 pm
when cass degree drove up in a school bus and got out with a big bag of mcdonald's food and several drinks and that raised sus -- suspicion of the. >> this is a close community. apparently the castro family was close with the dejesus family. and they interviewed the crime suspect's daughter about how she saw her friend on the day she disappeared. >> three girls, now young women, grabbed and held against their will right in the middle of a cleveland neighborhood. how could no one know? well, tonight neighbors are outraged by what was going on right under their noses. israel lugo tells us what he did
10:05 pm
see. >> israel, nice to meet you, sir. >> nice to meet you, ma'am. >> now, you have seen the suspect recently; is that correct, sir? >> yes. i seen him sunday afternoon about 1:00 in the afternoon. >> what was he doing? >> he had a little kid with him, a beautiful little girl. they went to the park. they were going to play and i was sitting there already with my daughter when ariel pulled up. he got out of the truck and walked to the bakery and got the girl a paste industry. they came back to the park and we were talking and i asked him whose kid is this, ariel? and he said it's my girlfriend's daughter's kid. and i'm thinking no problem. i watched the kids play, played maybe an hour. so i take off. the following day i come home, and the first thing i see both of my neighbors pulling at that same girl and i am -- my neighbor was like come over to help and i'm thinking what are you doing? you are breaking into the man's house. and so i parked the truck.
10:06 pm
but he had the door already open. the baby came out. amanda berry came out and the police and there are more girls upstairs. chuck went to retrieve the other girls but by that time the police pulled up. >> how old is the little girl. >> maybe five she looked like. >> was he gentle, nice with her. >> yes. her hair whose done, a dress. and he had khakis and shirt. it was like a typical sunday, a father and daughter. like i do with my kid. i take her to the park. you know what i'm saying? it was like a typical day. >> did he ever name who his girlfriend was? >> i never seen the man with a female. he plays guitar at a club so he probably had a girlfriend at the club. that i don't know. >> that's what he, does he plays a guitar? >> yeah, he plays guitar and drives a school bus. >> where is the club?
10:07 pm
>> 32nd, i want to say. >> have you heard him play? >> i heard him in the field a couple times. >> people in the neighborhood know him as a guitar player as well? >> we know him as a regular joe. no problem, him and his brother. pedro, the other brother, i don't know him. as long as i knew him i never seen that man before. >> hu ever been in his house? >> no. you can't even put a foot on his step. he didn't like that. he was very protective and stuff of her. >> weirdly so? >> i can't say because i look at it, at first i was looking like he got a bunch of cars and trucks and toys and motorcycles. that's what i love with him. and -- what i got. that's what i was thinking. but i never thought in a million years that i got these girls in my backyard. basically that's my backyard. you know what i saying? all the three kids, went through the yard. and just as well as i did when i
10:08 pm
was young. and for that to be over here so close, three doors away from his house and i have nieces around here, and it was like a real -- a real -- i can't say the word because i'm like really upset about t i thought i had a friend. i thought i had a neighbor i knew but i didn't know my neighbor. >> some people thought they thought he didn't live there, that it was boarded up and he would check on it. >> he would come off the school bus with a big old bag of mcdonald's and a bunch of sodas. and i'm thinking what is this man doing? but he did this every kay for a long time. 9:30, 10:00, take a bunch of food in the right back and right after work he comes, jump on his motorcycle, take off a little bit, come back, switch his whole clothes up and get a car or something. it was ariel doing ariel. you know what i'm saying? like in the million years we wouldn't think of him doing it.
10:09 pm
only person that knew some people was in the house was ariel and his brothers because if we would have new, you see that up there? he would have been right there. >> how do you know that his brothers knew? >> excuse me? >> how did you know his brothers knew? >> they had to know something because they were together. >> were they living here? >> no, pedro could woman by, sit on the steps, and wait for the other brother to come buy and then they would take off in the cars. hours, the two you would see them pulling in. so he could leave in the afternoon and you don't see him coming back ate, ten, eleven, you don't know when he pulls in. the gate was so high you don't know what's going on behind there. >> did you hear any noise coming behind the house? >> 2011 i was walk home, it was late, 10:30, she was shaken up, terrified -- >> your sister? >> yeah. she said i believe i seen a
10:10 pm
little girl inside in a girl's in the house. and whose house? ariel. i said ariel doesn't live with anybody. i go over and check it out. i go over and plywood on the windows. you said you really can't see in the house. so she asked me to call the police. i called the police. half-hour later or so they pound on the door about 20 times. and maybe five, six minutes. there was no answer. they approached the porch and went to the driveway, shine a light and they got in the car and took off. >> was that the only time you saw the police at the house? >> yes. prior to that my niece seen a girl back there and it was four ladies from the old folks that saw three girls back there naked with. >> naked? >> naked on four legs with a leash and a collar on them and they was abusing him. the four ladies waiting on the
10:11 pm

10:12 pm
she said i wake up every day asking gina, what are you doing? gina, what are you eating? and i'm a parent myself, okay? and it's like bothers you. just to think and go through that stage of mind what is your daughter doing works is she at? but mom knew she was still alive. and she thought that all the time and here she is in my backyard. >> when did you see amanda with the baby? >> when she first came out the out running. >> that's the first you ever saw her. >> yes. i never knew them until the story came out ten years ago. >> that's the baby you saw him with. >> i seen the baby sunday at the seymour park. >> you must have just about fallen over when you saw that. >> i fall over when the see the baby come out of the house. i said i just saw that they park playing with my daughter. and then -- then for me to notice that this is the man of that been having the kids in here all the time and the monster and everything and i have a friend and good neighbor
10:13 pm
and he turned out to be a piece of crap. how would you feel about that? >> not good. if i ran into him like in a grocery store, he's in line next to me in the grocery store, what would i have thought about him? he was another customer. >> a clean cut guy, average joe. average person. any average person. could be the average joe and i thought he was and he was a dam monster. i never suspected that man for nothing. and i didn't suspect that man. and he can't believe it. it's unbelievable. you think you have a good neighbor and all that and then turn around to be the worst neighbor you ever expected to have. >> i can't get over the brothers either. >> well, that's something, you know, it's -- they are sick. they are sick. don't now how they did t i wish they would tell me how they did it. and i just want to know how, why and win. you know what i'm saying? what was the reason you take the three girls, man?
10:14 pm
for what satisfaction? to torture them for ten years, take their life from them, take their childhood, their prom night, their virginity, something they probably want to keep until they got married? having kids, probably didn't even want to have kids. you know what i'm saying? having a kid in the house. i wonder how she had that kid. it's a bunch of pieces and stuff got to put together and by the time they get done you still won't know how everything happened. >> what would you like to say to him. >> me? he don't want me. because if i ever go to prison again i'm going to be yours and your two brothers worst nightmare. proposals you that. i won't -- i'll put -- put you there forever. >> and charles ramsey racing to help after he heard the screams. >> i went to mcdonald's, i was
10:15 pm
eating at mcdonald's, i hear some girl screaming. so my neighbor, he come across the street, and i'm looking at him go across the street wondering where he's going. he goes next door to my house. and i look and i see this girl, and she just going nuts on the door so i said what's your problem, are you stuck? just open the door. i said i can't he got to lock. i look how he's got it and it's only enough to reach the handle to grab the mail and reach the door. naturally you are going to pry it open. that didn't work so we had to kick open the bottom. lucky that door was aluminum, it was cheap. she climbed out with her daughter. she went to my house, we called 911. when the police get here she said there's three more girls up there. and then i went and seen. and that's when gina dejesus and they brought two more girls out. >> you saw them? >> yeah, ain't that something? , you know it was them. >> no. >> only when the police said.
10:16 pm
>> yeah, when they tell me who they was. i didn't know when they was. >> how did they look, in what condition? >> oh, no, malnutritioned. >> they didn't look good? >> no, no. none of that. they weren't none of that. no gatorade or nothing. they looked like they have been haven't been fed in a long time, bro. a long time. they was skinny when they come out of the house. we seen this dude every day. i mean every day. >> how long have you lived here? >> i've been here a year. i barbecued with this dude. we eat ribs and listen to all salsa music. not a clue that girl was in the house or anybody else against their will because how he is is, he just comes out to his backyard, plays with the dogs, tinkers with his motorcycles and cars and you look away because he's not doing nothing but the average stuff u know what i'm saying? nothing exciting about him.
10:17 pm

10:21 pm
>> tonight we are live in cleveland where three kidnapped girls, now women, are reunited with their families. can you believe it? they each spent about ten years as a hostage, hidden away in a house with barricaded windows. that house is just miles from where they each disappeared. it's right behind me. earlier today we went back to the scenes of all three kidnappings. we are on a busy street in
10:22 pm
cleveland, ohio. looks like the streets you see across the nation all over the place. we are standing in front of the burger king and you all know what a burger king looks like. they dot the whole nation. but this is no ordinary burger king because back on april 21, 2003, that's more than ten years ago, amanda berry was working at this burger king. she left that night, and incidentally it was the day before her birthday, told her family that she would be coming home, and then her family hasn't heard from her in more than ten years. she just vanished into thin air, and then suddenly last night everything changed. amanda berry was found. take a look at this school. this is wilber wright elementary school. back on april 2, 2004, it was wilbur wright middle school. this is where gina dejesus went to school. looks like a lovely place for your child to go to school. but on that date, april 2, 2004,
10:23 pm
something dreadful happened. gina, who was a special education student, decided she would walk home from school. she left the school, never to arrive back at home. on august 23, 2002, in this area, michelle knight, who was then about 18 years old, was last scene. no one knew what happened to her after that date, where she went, whether she was dead, whether she was alive. she simply vanished. what is particularly interesting about this is about eight months later, about three blocks down lorraine, is the burger king where amanda berry disappeared about eight months later and they all just vanished from areas in broad daylight that looked perfectly safe. this is where it happened, 2207 seymour street. if you look down the street you see the fbi is still processing the white house where's the three women and a young child apparently have been for many, many years. neighbors give all sorts of different stories. some neighbors describe the man
10:24 pm
who lives there, castro, as an ordinary guy. but the story that sort of we hear from everybody is how surprised they were. they never in their wildest dreams believed that those three women would be held captive in that particular house. >> so is anyone suspicious of ariel castro, anything odd with him, visible dark side? peter dejesus said he played in a band with castro. and get this, he was inside castro's house. so what did he see? he joins us. did i go the name partially correct? >> dejesus. >> how long did you know him? >> 20 years. >> did you ever see anything odd, anything remotely like what happened the last 24 hours. >> not at all. he seemed like a normal musician. i never dug deep into his personal life. many people don't want to mix
10:25 pm
their penalty life and business. -- personal life and business. >> you are in a band together. >> yeah. >> you went inside. >> i went inside his house the first couple years i met him for rehearsal and everything. a few years back i was moving out of my house and i sold him some appliances. he took a bunch of stuff from my garage and he said can you help me take some of this stuff home and i said no problem. we unloaded the appliances in the driveway. he said leave it here and help me take it inside the house. i got as far as the living room. the beginning of the house. and didn't notice anything, you know, out of the ordinary. you know, he had furniture and he had his instruments out there. something that's pretty basic in a musician's house. and he seemed pretty calm. he wanted me to chill out with him. and i said no i have to go, i can't stay, i have a performance. i got to go. he seemed like normal. not knowing that possibly gina
10:26 pm
and the other two girls were there. >> did he say he lived with anyone? were his brothers there? >> no. ever since i've known him i've known him to be a loner. alone. he was divorced. some people said he was married before and i've never seen him with a woman. >> when you were in the house, no noise or did you see anything that might indicate a woman was living had the house or that there were any clothes around, anything out of the ordinary? >> no, not at all. >> the windows, were they boarded at all? >> they weren't boarded. it was dim inside like maybe somebody had shades down or something. kind of like really didn't notice because i didn't go this there looking four clues because i had no idea what was going on. i just went in there to help him out, not knowing he was doing what he was doing. when i found out yesterday, it was a real shock to me. a real shock. >> what do you think about him tonight? >> i'm hurt. as a hughcision him hurt, as a human being i'm hurt. and this person was in my house
10:27 pm
many, many times, the rehearse always we had, shared a stage with him many times. and the home where my kids lived and not knowing this man, you know, is accused of doing this horrible thing with these girls. it's horrible. it's a horrible thing. >> tito, thank you. coming up, a neighbor who knows all three kidnapping suspects. what were they like and what does she know? she's here to tell you. that's next. and we are waiting for word on thanks against the suspects. our live coverage from leaf land, ohio continues. stay with us. the latest on the breaking news. we keep getting new information every minute.

>> these three young ladies have provided us with the ultimate definition of survival perseverance. >> all three girls. >> stunning, isn't it? we are back live in cleveland. the fbi now scouring the house right behind me. we've been watching them go in and out all day long, investigating the kidnapping of three girls, of course now women. they were held hostage in that house for about ten years. you may recall this. on the record has been on this investigation for almost all that time. right after 14-year-old gina dejesus vanished in 2004, we spoke with her cousin and the cleveland police. commander, what can you tell me about the investigation so far? >> well, so far there's no ties to any criminal activity. gina just kind of disappeared into thin air. >> what is your theory that is to what happened? you are looking at this as an abduction or a runaway?
10:34 pm
>> well, all the options are open right now. we are hoping it's a runaway, but it could be an abduction. we are just treating it on both sides of the fence there. >> sylvia, i take it the family has contacted all her friends to see whether gina has made a call home or a call to them? >> absolutely. they did that the first day when they finally realized she just wasn't come home and her mother and father immediately start the going out to all of her friends and calling people to find out where she might be and nobody had seen her since she walked away from her last girlfriend on her way home. >> so for the last ten years the three missing girls cases keeping reporters here in cleveland very busy. wtam radio reporter ken robinson has been covering all three cases. he joins us. nice to see you, ken. >> thank you. >> bet you never thought this would be the ending. >> what a day today and yesterday. we never thought that these women would be found alive, more or less all three of them
10:35 pm
together in one place. it's astounding. >> there is a lot of criticisms of the police tonight this has gone on for ten years in the house behind us and that calls were made, police department show up. what does your reporting show? >> well, police are understaffed, number one n a city like cleveland, you have a lot of crank calls, you have a lot of disturbance calls and police get a lot of crank calls, especially about a high profile case like this. in one way it's hard for them to follow up and follow every lead, but then good there have been calls where residents have said, hey, there's something funny going on, we heard a woman screaming, we saw a naked woman in the backyard. and police say they never got those calls, but residents say they did place them. >> any suspects over the years of the three? >> off and on there were some minor suspects but no serious suspects. nobody really taken into custody and charges brought against them. >> one i heard never gave up on
10:36 pm
her daughter, died of heart failure, and the family always said it was a heartbreak. >> that was gina dejesus's mother, who was vigilant in her search for her daughter. she was always at a lot of the vigils and she was at every police press conference. she always held out hope that her daughter would be found alive. you can look in her eyes and see that hope. we as reporters, we deal with these stories a lot and often they turn out in a very bad way. but you can see the look in her eyes, my daughter is still alive, my daughter is still alive. >> i was at the school today where gina was last seen. now it's an elementary school but it was a middle school then. looked so safe and yet it was the last place she was. thanks for joining us. >> thank you. >> coming up, who are the castro brothers? you will hear from a neighbor who knows all three of them next. in two minutes, charges against the three suspects could happen at any moment. we are live in cleveland. we have new information in this

hi. i used to be across the street where amanda berry did her phone call on monday. it's very shocking to hear that he's the one. >> we heard lots of stories about neighbors seeing him carrying every day a lot of mcdonald's food and every day he would come in with a lot of extra food. did you ever see anything like that? anything peculiar about that? >> no. usually he come in, pull up on his driveway and he would close the gate behind him, park his car in the back and would go about his business. we never see him after that. >> did you ever see i am with the little girl? >> never, know >> you heard the story about one neighbor saw him even last sunday with a little girl. >> i heard about that but i personally never seen him with a little girl. >> you had no idea that anyone else was living in the house with him? >> no. i personally thought that he was -- he was a single person that would be, you know, living by himself. and going in, going out, never

seeing anybody going in the house or anything so this is pretty surprising. >> two brothers you didn't think lived with them? >> one of them, pedro, did live with him and i believe one did about year ago, he had -- they had issues so pedro had moved out of the house, but that was about it. >> thank you very much. >> no problem. >> straight ahead, capitol hill is all abuzz tonight. a benghazi whistleblower is telling congress. everybody in the benghazi mission thought it was a terrorist attack from the getgo. but, of course, you know that's not what the obama administration told us. was there or is there still a coverup? that's next. and more live breaking news coverage right here in cleveland, ohio. we are a few feet from the house where three women made a daring where three women made a daring if there was a pill

>> is there a national security coverup? in just hours we may find out. tomorrow state department whistleblowers, including the number two at the embassy who was the last known person to speak to our murdered ambassador, will tell congress what happened during the september 11th benghazi attack. the ambassador and three others were murdered in that attack almost three months ago. nice to see you, sir. >> good to see you. >> why do you want to talk to gregory hicks, who is the number two in the embassy after the ambassador? >> because he's an eyewitness. he's one of the few eyewitnesses. i'm tired of hearing politicians guess at what happened or people theorize. i want to talk to the eyewitnesses and he was in charge after the death of ambassador stevens. in fact, ambassador stevens' dying declaration, full, was made to gregory hicks.
10:51 pm
he doesn't have a political bone in his body and he's an eyewitness. i want people to hear from him and people can judge for themselves whether this administration has been honest and forthright. >> did the state department designate an investigative body, the a. r. b., did they speak to gregory hicks at all in their investigation? >> they did, but he is not satisfied with that report. he didn't have access to classified information. he didn't have an opportunity to review his testimony afterwards. and the clear implication that he drew from the a. r. b. was that it was calculated to insulate or to protect the higher-ups within the state department. and that's a common trend. let's blame the low-level folks so we can protect the higher-ups. again, greta, he's a career diplomat without a political bone in his body. >> mark thompson is also another person who will be testifying. who is he? and what are you looking for from him? >> well, what we want to know
10:52 pm
from mr. thompson is whether or not there were assets that could have been deployed during the siege. keep in mind the initial attack, and then there was an interim and there was another attack and there was a third attack. could assets have been deployed during the siege that would have saved ty woods and glen dougherty. keep in mind the administration says we couldn't have got there in time which defies logic because they had no idea how long the attack was going to last. but mr. thompson will shed light on the middle part and whether or not our fell le americans were crying for help and we could have helped them and for whatever reason chose not to. >> you know, the one thing that still isn't clear in my mind, maybe it is in yours and everybody else's, why in the world ambassador susan rice went out with the statement and videotapes and the president continued to carry that song on beyond her statements on the five sunday shows. in tomorrow's hearings do you expect to develop questions or whether there be a witness to
10:53 pm
develop at least why we heard that video thing because it never made much sense to me? >> yes, ma'am. i can tell you that i am partly responsible for that line of questioning, and i have been working on it for two weeks now. you are going to know that she was demonstrably false, you are going to know that she was the only person that held on to that narrative, even after everyone else win away from it. and importantly, greta, what you are going to hear is that this coverup, her choosing to rely on those false talking points about the video, impeded and obstructed our ability to get at what happened in benghazi. the bureau was denied access to the crime scene as a direct result of her adherence to this false narrative that it was a video. so, yes, ma'am, you will hear a lot about ambassador rice being the last person on the planet who thought a video had something to do with this attack. >> congressman, thank you. i'm curious to see whether she
10:54 pm
knew it or whether she was duped by others or what happened. i look forward to the hearing. thank you, sir. >> thank you. >> coming up, more from cleveland. the latest on the kidnapping of three girls, now women, held in the house right behind me. our live coverage continues from cleveland. the latest on this breaking news story is next. as a kidid, i made a a list ol ththe places i i wanted toto . m mars, but thananks to hotwtwire's incredibibly low traravel price,
