Ariel Castro, Cleveland kidnapping suspect, helped look for missing girl

In the years after his friend's daughter vanished while walking home from school, Ariel Castro handed out fliers with the 14-year-old's photo and performed music at a fundraiser held in her honor.


When neighbors gathered for a candlelight vigil just a year ago to remember the girl, Castro was there too, comforting the girl's mother.


Castro, just like everyone else in the tight-knit, mostly Puerto Rican neighborhood, seemed shaken by the 2004 disappearance of Gina DeJesus and another teenager who went missing the year before.


Now he and his brothers are in custody after a frantic 911 call led police to his run-down house, where authorities say DeJesus and two other women missing for about a decade were held captive.


No charges have been filed against the men, but they could appear in court as early as Wednesday morning.

knew it was him because he was standing over the grave of one of his victims smirking. And he had the chubby face and curly hair from the police sketches.
