a year later, april 2004, gina dejesus was walking with castro's daughter home from school. the pair split up and castro tracked down dejesus, got her in the car by asking her for help to find his daughter. the rest of the report is brutal. details of the girls chained up by their ankles in separate rooms. for punishment, he kept them in the cold basement or a sweltering attic, given one meal day, showered once a week, forced to use plastic toilets in their rooms emptied infrequently, and raped repeatedly. to force michelle knight's miscarriage, sometime around november 2006 castro admitted to punching, kicking, and even jumped on her stomach. the girls were threatened with a gun and castro told them there had been other girls before them. some of them had made it home. others had not. in the report it says ariel castro did allow the girls to keep diaries and while we weren't given specific passages within the report we're told there was talk about being locked in dark room, being scared about the next time they would be raped, dreams of escaping and being reunited with fami
