I thought for sure that this topic would have the usual theories that they're all actors or that it's an inside job.

Obviously. That's why the police never followed up on the tips they got.

Obviously it has not been reported that any of these men were on terror watch lists and still let in and out of the country repeatedly and none of these men have been reported to have relatives married into the CIA. When that happens, let me know okay?

Nah, pretty sure this is simply a case of cops chasing too many donuts and people with marijuana and other narcotics instead of doing their job. It'd be quite a thing in this country if cops learned to put donuts and marijuana together

Billion dollar business idea.

Can't have it both ways. I've seen plenty of threads where a phone call by a nosy neighbor and the police coming in was looked down upon.

Did you miss the part about investigation??

No,, I don't think police should even exist.. People should look out for their neighbors.. And in this case neighbors saw that something was wrong.
They should be able to approach the judge with that and have the elected sheriff serve a warrant.

if police are to be tolerated they should at least be doing the job.

Details I had not seen:

Inside the Seymour Avenue house, the three women who last celebrated birthdays with their families about a decade ago saw year after year perversely marked by Castro's serving of a cake on the day each woman was abducted, according to one of DeJesus's cousins.

At the time of the rescue, Michele Knight told police she was unsure exactly how many women were detained inside the house, but that there may have been other victims...A source has reportedly told The Mirror: "Police are unsure as to how many victims there may have been over the past 10 years but they are following up on every single lead they get."


FBI investigators have begun examining houses on either side of the Seymour Ave, Cleveland, property in which the three captives were kept locked in separate rooms. Fox News reports these properties had previously been owned by the Castro family.

"They were not in one room, but they did know each other and they did know each other was there.''

Family members of Ms Knight said she remains in hospital but is doing well. A cousin told CNN that she "has the mind of a child."

WKYC reported that Ms Knight was forced to deliver Ms Berry's baby, Jocelyn, in an inflatable pool "so the mess was easier to clean up". ... "Michele stated that Ariel told her that if the baby died, that he'd kill her," the police report states. ...The report said Ms Knight put her mouth to the Jocelyn's mouth and "breathed for her" to keep them both alive.


NewsChannel5 reports Michele Knight was pregnant by Ariel Castro five times. They allege he forced an abortion each time by punching her in the stomach.


Castro had previously "tested" his captives by pretending to leave the house with the door unlocked. He would then return suddenly.

What a effed up family:

The daughter of the prime suspect in the kidnapping case of three Cleveland women was jailed for 25 years in 2008 for the attempted murder of her 11-month-old baby, it was revealed today.

Emily Castro, 24, tried to slash her daughter Janyla's throat in April 2007 after she broke up with the child's father.

I wonder what her upbringing was like in that house, and if it had anything to do with the way she turned out.

I figured when there were no pictures of her, and she went back into the hospital for undisclosed treatment even though she was 'well', and the hospital wouldn't say for what. I'm assuming someone there is performing pro bono surgery, and it is private.

It sounds like she had developmental difficulties even before the kidnapping. And nobody was even looking for her, because the cops concluded that she ran away because she was mad about CPS.

This breaks my heart every time I think about it.

REPORT: Brothers Pedro, Onil will not be charged

The latest disturbing revelations came as:

* Authorities charged Castro with four counts of kidnapping and three counts of rape. He is due in court this morning.

* His brothers, Pedro and Onil, initially busted in the probe, will not be charged in the abductions.

“There is nothing that leads us to believe that they were involved or had any knowledge of this,” Deputy City Police Chief Ed Tomba said. “We found no facts to link them to the crime.”

This is crazy. But I heard it "not charged at this time". I cannot believe they didn't know anything. I'm hoping this is just the cops playing with them to get them to reveal something else..

Or they did not know anything about it. and that is possible.

Though I am generally skeptical of what passes for investigation.

 

[jtap]

I think any cop that was doing their due diligence after some of the reports would at least attempt to get a warrant and if it was turned down could "pass the buck" on the blame at that point. So, I'm curious if anyone tried to get a warrant at all.

edit:

If only they had had some weed.

Or raw milk.

Why Cops Bust Down Doors of Medical Pot Growers, But Ignore Men Who Keep Naked Girls on Leashes

In the first place, federal cash giveaways make police departments' reactions to drug cases much more swift and severe.

“The statistical demands of the drug war and the grants that come from the federal government --- all they do is incentivize our local police to chase drugs and chase seizures so they can supplement their budgets," Downing said. "We call that 'policing for profit.'”

Furthermore, allowing military training of local police has “turned our police into drug warriors,” instead of “police officers and peace officers.”

“Every police department, every sheriff’s department, and the federal government have personnel that are dedicated 100 percent of the time to drug enforcement,” said Downing, “and the result of that is to use police resources for that purpose.”

It's really a good article, I recommend reading the whole thing.. I'm glad someone is writing about it!

http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-201_162...tened-to-kill-her-if-amanda-berrys-baby-died/

Michelle Knight, one of three women Ariel Castro is accused of holding captive for almost a decade in his Cleveland house, has told investigators that Castro forced her to deliver a baby born to one of the other women, and he warned her if the baby were to die, he would kill her.


http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2013/05/09/cleveland-ariel-castro-amanda-berry-arraignment-kidnap-rape/2146289/

"As we neared the top of the steps, Officer Espada hollered out, 'Cleveland Police,' at which time ... Knight ran and threw herself into (Officer) Espada's arms," the officer writing the report noted. "We then asked if there was anyone else upstairs with her, when (DeJesus) came out of the bedroom. "

I'm really stuck on the Michele Knight story for some inexplicable reason. The state took her first baby, then didn't bother to search for her while this madman repeatedly alternated between impregnating her and beating her into aborting.

And here they are - the heros.

 

[V3n]

Knight told police, according to the report, that Castro impregnated her "at least 5 times," but that each time he would starve her and then punch her in the stomach to induce a miscarriage.

They ought to tag 5 counts of murder to this dickbag!
