Three young girls vanish. A community searches for answers. The truth is more horrifying than anyone imagined.
Between 2002 and 2004, three girls—Michelle Knight, Amanda Berry, and Gina DeJesus—disappeared without a trace from the same Cleveland neighborhood. For years, their families held onto hope, but no one could have guessed that they were being held captive just miles from home. When the truth finally came to light in 2013, the city was stunned to discover that the man responsible had been hiding in plain sight all along.
How did he get away with it for so long? What horrors did the women endure? And how did they finally escape?
Join us as we uncover the shocking case of Ariel Castro and the Cleveland kidnappings.
🎧 Listen now—because sometimes the monster is closer than you think.
