Some updates/confirmation's from yesterday:
-Arlene Castro said that she and Gina DeJesus were walking home the day that Gina disappeared. Gina loaned Arlene money to call her mom to ask if Gina could spend the night. Arlene's mom said "no" and Ariel Castro picked up Arlene and drove her home. Gina didn't have enough money for the bus and kept walking. Then, he went back and offered Gina a ride home. That's when her nightmare started.
-LE confirmed that Ariel Castro got Amanda Berry in the car by telling her that his son worked at the same Burger King when he saw her on the street. He also lured Michelle Knight, walking on the street in the middle of the day, into his car somehow.
-It was confirmed by Amanda Berry yesterday that Ariel Castro is the father of her six year old daughter, Jocelyn, and that Michelle Knight delivered the baby at the house.
-Michelle Knight has told authorities that she was impregnated by Castro several times and that he starved and beat her to terminate her pregnancies. Whether or not he will/should be charged for the death of those fetuses/babies is being debated by the legal talking heads. LE has charged him only with kidnapping and rape, so far.
--------------------------------------------
I'm curious as to why the spokesperson at Wednesday's press conference said that he wasn't aware of any connections when a reporter asked if the suspect knew any of the victims or their families. It was already confirmed that Castro knew the DeJesus family by that time. Struck me as odd.
Also curious as to whether LE ever interviewed Ariel Castro in the missing person investigation, since his daughter was the last person known to interact with Gina DeJesus and Ariel already had a police record for being violent and abusive.
