we then went to amanda berry and then we went to gina dejesus. as it was formatted, we felt that it would be a lot easier to control the interview and gain the facts if we specifically talked about the incidents surrounding michele, amanda and gina separately. ultimately we did that. mr. castro admitted throughout the interview to us on each occasion how he took the girls. he indicated that he had extensive conversations with the girls surrounding the time that he did abduct them. in his own words he used the word abduct. he referenced himself in the interview as a sexual predator. i asked him at that point, what do you consider, what a sexual predator is. he said somebody that continually repeats offenses. i asked him if it was a one time incident, how would he reference himself, he rear fed to that as a sexual offender. >> did he use the phrase i'm a criminal. >> yes, de. to put that in context, i also conducted interviews with his mother and his brother o'neal. to put that statement in context, it was in reference to his brother's lack of invo

the woman on your screen there is gina dejesus.he was the final woman that was kidnapped and one of the things we saw today, jon, for the very first time is the image in our head of gina dejesus before she was be a ducked and the gina dejesus from the youtube video but we actually got a look at what gina looked like when the authorities picked her hupp. jon: that center photo. look at hollowness of the eyes. we believe this was taken on or perhaps the day after, i believe this was the day of their rescue. in that center photo to show so much. jenna: gives you some perspective about what these women have gone through. we'll take a quick break. court is expected to be back in session. we'll hear from the defense and ariel castro himself. so stay with us. more coverage here on fox news. jon: the cuyahoga county courthouse in cleveland, ohio, the man in the orange jumpsuit man one of the most reviled men in america right now, ariel castro. convicted or has pleaded guilty to 937 counts in connection with the abductions and imprisonment

i noticed gina was very, i'll say reserved. i don't know if she was just confused by the whole thing but a lot of the nurses and the staff at the hospital would come up and just give her a big hug and say we've been praying four honey and she just kind of stood there with her arms around the side and when they left the room she would say who is that. i said honey you're going to get a lot of that over the next few weeks. she wasn't sure what was going on. michele was still very frightened, like she just kind of held herself close. and amanda, she had her daughter, so she seemed to be a little more well-rounded as far as trying to protect her daughter, making sure everything is okay. you know she wasn't but she had that, trying to make it took like everything was okay for her daughter. >>> such compelling testimony. we've only just started. i have to say, just listening to the statement from that one officer and this could go on for hours this morning. >> sure. or days. >> it's unfathomable even the things we've heard before abo

we then went to amanda berry and then we went to gina dejesus. as it was formatted, we felt that it would be a lot easier to control the interview and gain the facts if we specifically talked about the incident surrounding michelle, amanda and gina separately. ultimately, we did that. mr. castro admitted throughout the interview to us on each occasion how he took the girls. he indicated that he had extensive conversations with the girls surrounding the times he did abduct them. in his own words, he used the word abduct. he referenced himself in the interview as a sexual predator. i asked him at that point, what do you consider what a sexual predator is. and he said somebody that continually repeats offenses. i asked him if it was a one-time incident, how would he reference himself. he referred to that as a sexual offender. >> did he use the phrase "i'm a criminal?" >> yes, he did. and that was -- to put that in context, he -- i also conducted interviews with his mother, lilian and i also conducted interviews with his brother, o'neill. and that --

happy birthday, gina. love, mom.he story has ended, celebratory balloons and a sign down here. thank you, god. gina is free. >> it's incredible. it was incredible just walking there and seeing how he plucked them one after another, different years, all basically within, like, four blocks of one another. then they suffered 11 years in hell. kidnapped, specifically michelle knight here, kidnapped at 20. addressing her captor, ariel castro, today in court. saying it's your turn now. your hell is just beginning. here she was. >> spent 11 years in hell. now your hell is just beginning. i will overcome all this that happened. but you will face hell for eternity. from this moment on, i will not let you define me. or affect who i am. you will live -- i will live on. you will die a little every day. as you think about the 11 years and atrocities you inflicted on us. what does god think of you hypocritically going to church every sunday, coming home to torture us. the death penalty would be so much easier. you don't deserve th

they never saw michelle or amanda or gina. and then in early may of this year, one of the most remarkable acts of bravery and of hope that i've ever heard. a man in the neighborhood walking by hears a scream. here's charles ramsey speaking to the nbc affiliate in cleveland about that day. >> this girl, her scream was so loud children stopped playing. that's what made me look outside. that's how loud her scream was. so you figured some tree fell on her or something. and i went outside and i looked and she was just kicking the door and kicking the door. i'm looking, i know there's no woman, to my knowledge, that lives next door. and like i said on the interview, i said, that ain't right. that's a white girl. there's no white family lives here. maybe it was his girlfriend. i did what i had to do. she said, help me out. i want to get out of here. so that's what i said. i thought it was a domestic dispute. keep in mind, i know ariel. i didn't know he ever had a girlfriend. that's why i couldn't understand how you got in the house i

when i read this document, i was sick to my stomach because when gina first disappear, nancy, gina's mom always said my daughter would never run away. she would never get in a car with a stranger, somebody who knew her took her and you read this and clearly, she got in a car with a family friend, just like the mom predicted. >> from all you know from both gina eastside and her family and what you've heard from others, do any of these young women who have been through this awful ordeal have any kind of sense of what they call the stockholm syndrome where they feel a strange affection to their captor? >> well, if you listen to any of the court hearings from last week, the prosecutor did come out and say there was some stockholm syndrome and in the report released today he believes all three girls are experiencing that. on the other hand, i know gina has an incredible family with a huge support system, so does amanda berry. michelle night, she is just -- has been incredible through all this and she as journey by herself, but i believe the other two families will be assisting her. so if

gina, and in the media, she looks normal. she acts normal. a person that has been tortured, doesn't act normal. they would act withdrawn and everything. on the contrary, they're the opposite. she is happy. victims are happy. i haven't seen much of michelle because michelle since day one, i never saw that about her. i feel that the fbi let these girls down because they questioned -- when they questioned my daughter, that's okay, but they failed to question me. i am her father. if they would have questioned me whatever it happened, it is possible that it would have ended right there, so also they forgot to mention that i did mention to the girls that i was addicted to porn. i am truly sorry to the dejesus family, michelle, and amanda, you guys know all that went on in that home. i ask my family and i apologize to my family also for putting them through all of this. i want to apologize to the state of ohio, the city of cleveland for all of this. i just want to apologize to everyone who was touched by these events. i do also want to let you know

i noticed gina was very -- i would say reserved.if she was just confused by the whole thing, but a lot of nurses and staff at the hospital would come up and just give her a big hug and say "we have been praying for you, honey." and she just kind of stood there with her arms at her side looking around. and when they left the room she would look at me and say "who is that?" and i said "honey, you're going to get a lot of that the next few weeks." so she was just not sure what was going on. michelle was still very frightened, very, you know -- like she just kind of -- held herself close. and amanda, she had her daughter, so she -- she seemed to be a little more well-rounded as far as trying to protect her daughter, making it seem like everything was okay. you know that she wasn't, but she just kind of had that -- trying to make it look like everything was okay for her daughter. >> all right. we have to take a break. we'll be back with more. >>> and good morning, i'm carol costello. thanks for joining me this morning. we're continuing t

that on the other hand, i know gina has and credible family with a huge support system. so does amanda berry. michelle knight, she's been incredible through all of this, and clearly she has a journey by herself. i believe the other two families will be assisting her. so if they are suffering that, i don't doubt it will take a while to get through it. but they would be okay because of the support system that they have. >> there's a statement, actually a handwritten note from michelle knight to the lead investigator, i think it is. dear commander, officers and staff you don't know how much time appreciate your work collecting cards and gifts for me and the other girls. i'm overwhelmed by the thoughts and prayers from complete strangers. life is tough but i'm tougher and she does a quote. when the caterpillar thought the world was over she became a butterfly. very moving letter there. >> to think we don't know about michelle knight we never knew she was missing. of course we knew gina was missing because her mor kept searching and of course amanda berry's mother kept search

gina was my teammate. she never let me fall. i never let her fall. she nursed me back to health when i was dying from his abuse. my friendship with her is the only thing that was good out of this situation. we said we would some day make it out alive and we did. ariel castro, i remember all the times that you came home talking about what everybody else did wrong and act like you wasn't doing the same thing. you said at least i didn't kill you. for you took 11 years of my life away and i have got it back. i spent 11 years in hell. now your hell is just beginning. i will overcome all this that happened but you will face fahe for eternity. from this moment on, i will not let you define me or affect who i am. i will live on, you will die a little every day as you think about the 11 years and atrocities you inflicted on us. what does god think of you hypocritically going to church every sunday? coming home to torture us. death penalty wiould be so much easier. you don't deserve that. you deserve to spend your life in prison. i can forgive you, but i will

it's in the room that amanda -- i'm sorry, gina de jesus and michelle knight shared.is what the investigation has shown was used to restrain the women in the early stages of captivity. the investigation showed that on a limited number of times, that some of the survivors were allowed outside, they were instructed to wear a wig. >> three women were held captive in that house for more than ten years. today the world is a little closer to understanding the unimaginable suffering they endured. joining me now are eugene o'donnell, professor of law, and police study at jon jay college of criminal justice, and scott taylor, investigative reporter with woio tv in cleveland, who got the first video from the backyard and the garage when this story broke. scott, let me go to you first. these are horrific details. but when someone first goes inside, it looks normal, right? >> it sure does, al. when you open up that door, and ariel castro knew what he was doing on that first floor. you would see toys. you would see a couch. you would see a lazy boy. but when you start to go into t
