Captive

One House, Three Women and Ten Years in Hell




Three innocent girls. One monster. After ten years in captivity the nightmare ends and the story of the Cleveland abductions can be told

22 August 2002: 21-year-old Michelle Knight disappears walking home.

21 April 2003: Amanda Berry goes missing the day before her seventeenth birthday.

2 April 2004: 14-year-old Gina DeJesus fails to come home after school.

For ten years these girls will remain undetected in a house just three miles from the block where they all went missing, held captive by a horrifying sexual predator. Captive reveals the dark obsessions that drove Ariel Castro to kidnap and enslave his innocent victims. Based on exclusive interviews, this is a truly shocking crime in a very ordinary neighbourhood.
