Pictured: Suspect accused of taking three teens arrested with his brothers
mail online ^ | Thomas Durante and Associated Press

Posted on 05/07/2013 5:33:42 AM PDT by Morgana

The prime suspect in the astonishing kidnapping case of three women held captive for ten years has been taken into custody - as well as two of his own brothers.

Ariel Castro, 52, of Cleveland, Ohio was arrested on Monday after one of his alleged victims escaped his home and called police.

Neighbors in the street were shocked to hear that Castro, who was once a school bus driver in the Cleveland area, could be capable of abducting three innocent teenagers from the street and tying them up with chains in his basement.

Castro's Facebook page depicts a man with a passion for motorcycles and the bass guitar.

His last post to the social networking site on May 2 says: 'Miracles really do happen, God is good :)'

The man who came to Amanda Berry's rescue, Charles Ramsey, expressed disbelief that his neighbor could be capable of such a disturbed and shocking crime.

He told NewsNet5: 'I've been here a year. I barbeque with this dude, we eat ribs and what not and listen to salsa music. Not a clue that that girl was in that house or that anyone else was in there with.

'He's somebody you look and then you look away because he's just doing normal stuff. You got some big testicles to pull this one off because we see this guy every day.'

Sources close to local station WOIO said the women were reportedly tied up during their captivity and police found chains hanging from one of the ceilings

They also reported there were signs that dirt had recently been moved in the backyard of the house, though police continue to investigate whether or not the dirt will lead to any new evidence in the case.

"Ditto Greta."

No doubt she'll have on that lineup of clowns she calls her "legal panel."

The guy will be looked up to with envy in prison.

He kidnapped kids. If the guards ever let the general population within reach of him he will have a hard time.

I don't know about honor among thieves, but there is a hierarchy in prison, and people that abuse kids are at the very bottom.

ABC, last night, ran first with the story of an arrest of a “far right” home grown “terrorist”. Found guns, pipe bombs, ammo. In other words, nothing substantial.

Are you a do-it-yourselfer who has the old Reader’s Digest “how to fix anything” book?

The DHS agents found containers of gasoline(can of gas for the lawnmower) ,bomb-making materials (spare bits of plumbing pipes and fitting) and equipment(the electric drill COULD be used to make holes for fuses in the pipes)and FIREARMS! (setting up the meme that only terrorists have private stock of firearms or ammunition)in Joe the Freeper’s compound(home and garage and backyard garden toolshed) .

The socialists love to twist words.

Guilty as charged! I used to have a book of formulas from Popular Mechanics, that today would probably land me in jail.

And still have an old Hunter, Trapper, Trader (Hardings Magazine) book of 3001 Questions and Answers which tells how to make your own smokeless gunpowder.

And an old FOXFIRE book on how to make your own black powder by extracting nitrates from dirt.

There is another missing girl, Ashley, that went missing in that same five block radius. Unfortunately, I’m afraid this story isnt going to end as joyful as it is currently being told. Thus the comment in the article about checking out the moved earth.

< Apparently he has no visible means of support. Clevelanders are in for a rude awakening-—apparently they have been financing this criminal via a host of tax-subsidized welfare benefits >

This should not surprise us if so. Once a part of the system they learn quickly how to use it to their advantage....and play it for years and years....some generations.

RE: "The guy who responded to her and made the 911 call was hilarious in his interview with local TV reporters..."

That's the reason for my reply #10.. I thought they'd found Eddie Anderson after all these years. I used to love hearing him in his role as Rochester on Jack Benny's radio show.

If I had a daughter that had gone thru this I would not expose her face to the public either...at least for a time.

I would like to hope so, but I’ll bet there are lots of sickos who think mistreating women is okay.

But I wish it wouln’t get to that point.

Ariel is a common name for men in Spanish-speaking countries. It is also the name of a male character in Shakespeare’s last play, The Tempest.

The fact that they are Latino doesn’t mean much...... there are plenty of good old, domestic-born Americans who do this type of stuff.

That's comparing apples with oranges.

Latino con artists have people convinced they are "just here for a better life"----but their demands and their sense of entitlement is huge.

Our Congress is preparing to shower these criminal types w/ a raft of tax-paid entitlements (immigration reform). The grab*** latinos are even planning to take over the entire SW....and have stated they plan to incite bloody uprisings against Americans.

Not the case with domestic kidnappers.

UNDER ARREST---Castro brothers mug shot.

Supposedly there were multiple pregnancies among the kidnapped girls---but only one child is accounted for.

Did the brothers have anything to do with these pregnancies.....and the disappearances of the missing babies?

Who else?

Not sure anyone got pregnant from Onil, though.
