Revisiting The Cleveland Abductions: Ariel Castro’s House of Horrors

As we continue our June break, this week we are bringing you the remastered Cleveland Abduction episode. We released this in November of 2023 and it has been our most listened to case on the podcast. I feel like we are all drawn to this story because it is truly unbelievable that Ariel Castro got away with the abduction of 3 girls for over a decade!

In 2008, the nation was shocked when 3 women were discovered in his home along with a 6-year-old girl who had been born in captivity. These women had been taken while they were young teenagers and re-emerged as traumatized adults. Their stories of what happened behind these locked and closed doors for 11 years was truly shocking. 

Listen now as we revisit The Cleveland Abductions of Michelle Knight, Amanda Berry and Gina DeJesus.
