10:05 pm
for her appointments that is where we met. >> greta: did she ever tell you where she got the injuries or who you she got the injuries? >> yes. she stated to me that the injuries were inflicted by mr. ariel castro. she -- i saw her with a broken nose. dislocated shoulder. broken nose. i think fractured ribs. also to the extent of a missing tooth. >> greta: did she come in is that just one incident or come in more than once with injuries? >> she came in more than one time with different injuries, yes. >> greta: how did you at some point you and grimaldi developed a relationship. was she already is separated from ariel? >> yes, she was. when i met her we spoke about her injuries because she was looking kind of devastated and

10:08 pm
their field office and i was interviewed with them, yes. >> and were they asking you about the disappearance of gena? >> that's correct. they asked me if i knew gena, if she was ever with me in the house. was she ever in my vehicle. if i ever spent any time with gena. >> greta: why were you interviewed? who put your name in this? >> my thought is that mr. ariel castro had informed them that sense i was living with the girls and they were friends that they must have been around me and possibly had something to do with it at that point. >> greta: so ariel castro the guy who gets caught now with gena and the other two he is the one that sent the fbi out to talk to you? >> that's correct. >> greta: fernando, did you ever tell the fbi they should investigate ariel?

>> yes, did i. i told them to look into ariel castro. >> greta: did they do it? >> no, they did not. >> did you ever suspect ariel castro of having any involvement in gena's disappearance or the other two? >> let me put it this way. it did not surprise me that this did happen. i knew the type of person that ariel was. he is a very smart man. i also said he is like a psychologist, very possessive and very dangerous man according to everything that his ex-wife has told me. >> greta: did his ex-wife ever suspect him in the disappearance of the three? >> as far as i no, no, she never mentioned anything. >> greta: had you ever been inside the house? >> no, as far as i have been is to the front of the house. >> greta: so when you heard the other night that he was arrested, your thought, your first thought was what?
10:10 pm
>> my first thought, i thanked god because for a long time i was saying that ariel caso was a very dangerous man. he had the opportunity and the means to get those girls. they disappeared in plain daylight with no struggle whatsoever. and also i felt very happy for my ex-wife as you know she passed and i took it as a revenge to her for everything that he did to her. >> greta: thank you very much. >> thank you. >> greta: and now to the neighbor who is being called a hero. charles ramsey hearing amanda barry's chilling screams for help and racing to the rescue. >> i was eating my mcdonald's and i hear some girl screaming so my neighbor he come across the street and i looking at him going across the street

10:24 pm
>> no, not at all. >> greta: windows boarded at all. >> they weren't boarded. it was dim like maybe be somebody had the shades down or something. i kind of like really didn't notice because i didn't go in there looking for clues. i didn't know what was going on. i was there to help him out, not knowing that he was doing when was doing. when i found out yesterday it is just a shock to me. >> greta: the discovery of the three kidnapped young women stunning neighbors. one perez says he knew ariel castro for decades. the man he once called kind hearted he now calls a monster. we spoke with perez in cleveland. >> i have known him very well for 22 years. >> greta: the describe him. >> the way i knew him, he was a great guy, a nice guy. very impressionable. charismatic and very kind. and just kindhearted. you didn't feel a need to put your garden. you just were able to be

yourself. me as a kid growing up, i have a lot of friends that didn't have male role models that you know he could have filld that void if it they needed it. >> greta: are you surprised by this? did this stun you in light of how you think of him? >> yeah, i don't -- everything i just said is canceled. it was all a lie to cover up the monster that he really is. >> greta: it did he have odd hours or anything peculiar at all? >> the last two or three years i have seen him go in his house usually in the morning for about 20 minutes at a time but i he thought the house was vacant. i thought he was just going to make sure everything is okay and make sure no one broke in. i thought he lived another property. >> greta: why did you think that? >> because i never saw him around. i just saw him pass by. i saw the windows covered up and i thought it was just like the other houses that are empty. they are just empty. >> greta: were there lights on in the house at night? >> no. >> greta: so it looked completely vacant to you?
10:26 pm
>> yes, it did. >> greta: why did you think that he just owned a vacant house or didn't try to sell it or live there? >> me personally? just off my thought, the property value may raise up with time. i thought he was being smart in not selling right now. >> greta: how did you hear there was something going on there it? where were you? >> we were outside with my nephew and we heard commotion outside and my nephew looked outside and he was like there is an ambulance and a bunch of cop cars outside. come out and there is like 20 cop cars and i see the hero ace call him because he is a hero, i see him talking very animated with the police officers. i thought he was in trouble. i don't know him that well. my first thought was the new guy on the block is in trouble. turns out he wasn't because i found out one of the police officers, lady officers had said to another officer can we get some waters for them in the
10:27 pm
ambulance and i was like oh, okay, something else is going on and a cop came us to us and let us know what was going on and i hurry up and got up and ran to my mom and told her because she has been praying for those girls like they are h her own. >> greta: there is a little girl, too. do you know about that? >> a lot of people can't see a positive in this ugly situation besides that they are all okay but the negative situation something positive came out of it which is a new born 6-year-old baby, a precious child. that is a blessing from god. >> greta: coming up "on the record" is on the ground in cleveland. you will see what our team uncovered at the scene of each kidnapping. plus the legal panel is here. plus the legal panel is here. this is "on the get great deals on great gear at bass pro shops, like these ladies' gathered v neck shirts for under $10 men's summit ii cargo shorts for under $18 and the tourney pro casting combo for under $60 dollars.

your child to go to school. but on that date, 2004, something dreadful happened. gina, a special education student, decided to walk home from school. she walk left the school and vanished, in broad daylight in areas that looked perfectly safe. this is where it happened, 2007 seymour street. if you look down the street, you can see the fbi is still processing the white houses where 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 who lived there, castro, as an ordinary guy. but the story that 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. been on the investigation of the missing girls now women from almost the beginning. right after 14-year-old gina
10:34 pm
dejesus vanished in 2004 we spoke with her cousin and cleveland police. >> what can you tell me about the investigation so far? >> well, so far there is no ties to any criminal activity. gina just kind of december thin air.ed into >> looking at this as an abduction or a runaway? >> we are hoping it is a runaway but could be an abduction. treating it on both sides of the fence there. >> greta: i take it that the family contacted all their friends to see whether gina made a call home or a call to them? >> they did that the first day when they fay that wily realized she wasn't coming home and her mother and father immediately started going out to all of her friends and calling people to find out where are she might be and nobody had seen her since she walked away from her last girlfriend on her way home. >> greta: the disappearances of

10:36 pm
pinging at all do you know? >> i'm pretty sure that they did but you would think i mean it was so close to where these girls were found. it doesn't -- i don't -- they followed up but i don't know if they took it as seriously as they should have if they would have known. >> greta: what about the 2004 sketch? >> the 2004 sketch, now that was a someone who said they witnessed gina dejesus getting in a car with someone and that was a composite sketch that he gave and it turned out are yellery much like are yell castro. >> i understand there was a dig and a search for one of the young girls or young women and that ariel castro went to the dig. what happened?
10:37 pm
>> he was going to the vigils. a prisoner claimd that he knew where the body of amanda bar arery was and it was within walking distance of the seymour avenue address. so investigators spent the entire day digging this empty lot. they didn't find anything and according to the witnesses they saw a man who looked very much like ariel castro who went up and was asking people if they found anything. >> and then finally the thing i wanted to ask you about a child left unattended in a bus and he was questioned. >> well, i don't know if he was ever questioned. that was in 2004. they actually police went to 2207 seymour and i'm pretty sure that was before gina was kidnapped but that was when amanda and michelle should have both been captive in the house
10:38 pm
and he left the child unattended on the bus. police went up to the door. no criminal charges were filed. they decided that he had no criminal intent in that situation. >> greta: julie, thank you very much. i bet you are glad you have been working on this case a number of years so i bet you are very happy of the news. looks like it is over. thank you very much. >> completely. thank you. >> greta: will the state of ohio seek the death penalty? how can they prove murder all these years later. our panel investigates the charges he faces next. plus, clues surfacing for nearly a decade. was is right in front of them all along? did the fbi and local police ignore key evidence that could have cracked the case years ago? held hostage, ten years of terror, continues next. both maxwell and ted have hail damage to their cars. ted is trying to get a hold of his insurance agent. maxwell is not. he's on geico.com setting up an appointment

10:43 pm
and every act of sexual violence, rape, each day of kidnapping, every felonious assault all of his attempted murders and each act of aggravated murder he committed by terminating pregnancies that the offender perpetuated against the hostages during the decade long ordeal. >> greta: and the prosecutor confirms the charges could include the death penalty. also we now know for sure the dna is just back from the lab. it shows ariel castro is the father of amanda barry's 6-year-old child. joining us the legal panel. san francisco prosecutor jim hammerin and here in washington, dehe fence lawyer bernie grimm. he say he is going to charge for each day of kidnapping. >> is this one kidnapping. >> the good news is it doesn't matter such.
10:44 pm
on the sexual assaults each rape is a separate crime. once you started the kidnap if you move that person from one room to the other i don't think it is a separate crime. the prosecutor could argue if the victims left the house and he forced them back into the house the key being into a place of greater danger. you could argue those are separate acts of kidnapping. >> why would you infect the issue with an appealable issue? if he had the women outside and brought them inside that is another count. in another room and forced them to go into another room that is. why he would you take the chance. stack all of the sexual assaults and now a possible murder and get what you want out of the guy. >> greta: he says he will charge each act of aggravated murder for are each pregnancy terminated as a result of his conduct. how does he prove that? enough for a woman to say it happened five times or three times or four times or need an eyewitness or some physical
10:45 pm
