The Story of
the Cleveland Abductions
By Allan Hall
Penguin Books - $26.00 - Publication 22 November
Three innocent girls. One Monster. After 10 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 17th
birthday
2 April 2004: 14-year-old Gina DeJesus fails to come home after school
For ten
years these three 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 with Castro’s neighbours, the Cleveland police, the FBI and
the victims’ families, this is the unflinching record of a truly shocking crime
in a very ordinary neighbourhood. It also includes never-before-seen
photographs, police reports and newly disclosed evidence.
