May 7.
I love the days that have no holidays attached to them when I visit wikipedia. They're quite special, in that there are few of them relative to the days where some observation or celebration is supposedly occurring.
It's a very depressing story, 3 woman kidnapped for around ten years, and it seems like one of that had a child during the whole thing. There was chains in the basement. Dude's a hero.
I actually remember when the girl went missing. just hard to believe this was the first chance she had to get out, seeing how the neighbors said the captors would do normal house type stuff all the time..

Just saw a brief in the DN! headlines this morning.
Definitely a hero.
The 911 call is really chilling. There's something dead in her voice that's really sad.
Even sadder is the girl's mother went on a quest to find her, but her health completely broke down likely due to the intensity of everything. She died in 2006.
Ariel Castro, 52, was arrested Monday in Cleveland after three woman were found in his home on Seymour Avenue.
Castro's son brings another strange twist to already bizarre story that has spanned more than a decade and shook Cleveland's west side residents to their core.
WKYC's Sara Shookman uncovered an article written in 2004. It was about the disappearance of Gina DeJesus. The author of the article was Ariel Castro.
After some investigation WKYC learned that the author was the son of the man arrested Monday in connection with the three women who were rescued from the home.
Ariel "Anthony" Castro, 31, talked to Sara Shookman tonight, saying "This is beyond comprehension...I'm truly stunned right now."
Anthony Castro said he was a journalism student at Bowling Green State University when he wrote the article in 2004.

For 19 months, Louwana Miller refused to give up hope that her missing daughter might still be alive.
Not anymore.
Desperate for any clue as to Amanda Berry’s whereabouts, and tired of unanswered questions from authorities, Miller turned to a psychic on Montel Williams’ nationally syndicated television show.
The psychic said what the FBI, police and Miller hadn’t.
“She’s not alive, honey,” Sylvia Browne told her matter-of-factly. “Your daughter’s not the kind who wouldn’t call.”
With those blunt words, Browne persuaded Miller to accept a grim probability that has become more likely with each passing day.
Miller went back to the West Side home where she had been keeping Amanda’s things in careful order and cleaned up. She gave away her daughter’s computer and took down her pictures. “I’m not even buying my baby a Christmas present this year,” she said.
Miller said she returned devastated from the show, taped this month in New York.
“I lost it,” she said.
Miller said she believes “98 percent” in Browne.
“Please don’t misunderstand me. I still don’t want to believe it. I want to have hope but, after a year and a half, what else is there?” Miller said. “It seems like the God-honest truth. My daughter would always call home.”
Tip from a prisoner being held in Lucasville leads to search of house on W. 30th and Wade in connection with Amanda Berry disappearance. A search of the site turns up no evidence of the missing teen.
07/19/2012: The FBI, police and other authorities are digging on Cleveland's west side Thursday morning after receiving a tip about the disappearance of Amanda Berry, who has been missing since 2003.
NewsChannel5 reporter Paul Kiska is at the scene. He said authorities have blocked off an area around West 30th Street and Wade Avenue, set up a tent and are using a cadaver dog to look for remains. The search could stretch into the night, as crews bring in a bigger backhoe.
Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Bill Mason said the tip came from a prisoner who has been at the Southern Ohio Correctional Facility in Lucasville for murder since 2006. He provided information that a body may be buried where authorities are digging.
Mason said they received the tips weeks ago from inmate Robert Wolford.
“Based on the information we have, this is pretty credible information. I think there’s a good likelihood we’re going to find something,” Bill Mason said.
According to Cleveland police second district commander Keith Sulzer, "Wolford claims to be a first-hand participant in Berry's disappearance."
Stuff like that probably happens all the time, but then you map out the location of that search that lead to nothing, and the house where they found them.
telling someone there daughter is dead when you're not 100% sure is definitely pretty ****ed up morally.
In the 911 call how did she know she was in the news for 10 years? Most disappearances don't garner that much media attention for that long so did she have access to media while captured? Have their identities been confirmed by DNA or anything yet or is there no need for that in a case like this?
