Between 2002 and 2004, Ariel Castro abducted Michelle Knight, Amanda Berry, and Gina DeJesus from the roads of Cleveland, Ohio and later held them captive in his home at 2207 Seymour Avenue in the city's Tremont neighborhood. All three young women were imprisoned at Castro's home until 2013, when Berry successfully escaped with her six-year-old daughter, to whom she had given birth while captive, and contacted the police.[3][4][5][6] Police rescued Knight and DeJesus, and arrested Castro hours later.
Castro was charged with four counts of kidnapping and three counts of rape.[1][7] He pled guilty to 937 criminal counts of rape, kidnapping and aggravated murder as part of a plea bargain. He was sentenced to life imprisonment plus 1,000 years in prison without the possibility of parole.[8][9] One month into his life sentence, Castro died by suicide by hanging himself with bedsheets in his prison cell.[10]
