Fresh pain for woman who was held captive and tortured by monster Ariel Castro By ISHITA SRIVASTAVA FOR DAILYMAIL.COM Published: 22:11 GMT, 22 November 2024 | Updated: 22:11 GMT, 22 November 2024 e-mail View comments A woman who was miraculously rescued from her rapist captor over a decade ago is facing fresh pain after having her animal shelter raided. Michelle Knight, now known as Lily Rose Lee, got the idea to start an animal rescue during the 10 years she spent in captivity at the hands of Ariel Castro in Cleveland, Ohio . Lee, who founded Unleashed Animal Rescue in Elyria, Ohio, after she was freed in 2013, was left heartbroken after authorities raided the shelter Wednesday and took away nearly two dozen of the animals. 'I got a huge hole in my heart,' told Cleveland 19 News. 'They took all of my exotic birds, all my exotic bunnies, they took my support animal and they took my little dog.' The search warrant from Lorain County stated that the animals were facing cruelty, though Lee claims she never received any warnings before the raid. Lee explained that she received a notice from Friendship Animal Protective League saying that her animals were living in unsanitary conditions, had dirty water and that she had an emaciated dog. 'You hurt innocent animals and you hurt innocent people and I don't understand. If there was something so wrong with the living conditions and the way my animals were kept, they didn't take all of them,' she added. Michelle Knight, now known as Lily Rose Lee, got the idea to start an animal rescue during the 10 years she spent in captivity at the hands of Ariel Castro in Cleveland, Ohio 'I have lived a life of tremendous torture, problems and a lot of different things, but what made me start this rescue was Lobo,' Lee recalled. 'When I was held captive, he gave me a dog and when I tried to escape he broke that dog's neck right in front of me it destroyed my heart. 'I told myself if I ever got out of the house that I would continue God's work and I would open up a rescue.' Lee was one of three women held captive in Castro's Ohio home, where she suffered five forced miscarriages and lived in chains for over a decade. She was 21 when she was kidnapped and imprisoned in 2002. Castro lured her into his car by informing her that he knew the directions to a social services meeting that she needed to attend. He then persuaded her to go into his house by claiming his dog had just given birth, convincing Lee that she should take one of the puppies back for her toddler son. Once inside the property, Castro locked her in an upstairs bedroom, chained her up with extension cords and masturbated over her. He then strapped a sock to her mouth with duct tape and left.

Berry was kidnapped while she was walking home from work. Castro, who worked as an elementary school bus driver, approached her in his vehicle and asked if she needed a ride home. Berry, who knew Castro as the father of her classmate and friend from middle school, agreed. He ended up inviting her inside his home to hang out with his daughter, Arlene. Once she went in, she wouldn't leave for years. 'He took me to the next bedroom, and it was just really dark in there, and he didn't turn on the lights, and there was a little, like, a little room off of the bigger bedroom, kind of a big closet,' Berry remembered. 'And he took me in there, and he told me to pull down my pants. And from there I knew, like, this was not going to be good.' Castro chained her to a pole and left her in a dark room with a television on. The other two captives were Gina DeJesus, who was abducted on April 2, 2004, at the age 14, and Amanda Berry, who went missing a day before her 17th birthday on April 21, 2003 A week after Berry went missing, Castro called her family using her cell phone to taunt them 'I just started screaming and crying... "Somebody please help me," you know. And nobody, nobody came. I was so scared that I was going to die. I didn't think that I was going to ever make it home,' Berry explained. A week after Berry went missing, Castro called her family with her cell phone to taunt them. 'He called and said, "I have Mandy," which, nobody called her Mandy but [people] who knew her, her sister Beth Serrano said. "'She wants to be with me.'" The FBI was able to narrow down the phone's location to a 30- to 40-block area, but despite exhaustive search measures, they were unable to find Berry. Castro approached Gina DeJesus in a similar fashion as she was walking home. She was good friends with Castro's daughter. Once she entered his home, she became unnerved by Castro's behavior. 'He was, like, fixing his eyebrows and, like, trimming his mustache and, like, cutting his nose hairs,' DeJesus said. 'He's like, starts like, to, like, touch me and stuff, and then I'm like, "What are you doing? You could go to jail.'" 'He just switches up like, "Well, OK, we're going to, you're going to go home now. But you can't go through the same door you came in."' The women were forced to live in squalid, filthy conditions where they were chained in their rooms, their bedrooms locked, were barely fed and given buckets to use as toilets DeJesus tried to fight him off and screamed for help when he brought her to the basement and chained her up. Her cries were drowned out by radios playing in his basement and living room. 'He, would take my hair and like, put it in his mouth. ... I don't know why he did it but it was gross,' she said. DeJesus said the first time Castro raped her was on May 7, 2004. Berry tried to record how many times he raped her in her diary by using a code. 'I would always write these numbers at the top of the pages, because I felt like, you know, one day maybe authorities will get to read it. And he'll be punished for what he did,' Berry said. The women were forced to live in squalid, filthy conditions where they were chained in their rooms, their bedrooms locked, were barely fed and given buckets to use as a toilets. 'He was always there watching every move, it was like he knew everything, every move that we did,' DeJesus said in a sit-down interview with ABC's 2020 in January 2020. 'The mattress was old and nasty, and it was just disgusting. And we had the bucket to use the bathroom, and that smelled horrible,' Berry added.

They were only allowed to shower once a week While imprisoned in an upstairs bedroom and, later, the basement at Castro's home, Lee was repeatedly beaten up and raped by her attacker , resulting in her becoming pregnant five times. Each time, Castro would punch and starve her until she miscarried. Berry became pregnant by Castro when she was 20 and gave birth to a daughter, Jocelyn, on Christmas in 2006.

I mean, I barely eat and I'm chained to a wall, and I have a bucket for a bathroom,' Berry said. She said life in captivity changed for her with the birth of her daughter. She noted Castro even became kinder and took off her chains after her daughter started to notice them. She told Jocelyn the chains were bracelets, per Castro's orders. 'This is his kid, you know. How do I feel about that? And she resembled him a lot, and I would look at her, and I just felt, like, she's mine. She's mine,' Berry said. 'It was fun because I can get away from the situation. When I was playing with Jocelyn, Jocelyn made me forget everything.' The women were fed once a day but were given only chips or crackers or other snacks as meals.

After years of abuse, they were finally able to escape on May 6, 2013. They were left alone for the first time in 11 years with a bedroom door unlocked and Amanda managed to leave the home with Jocelyn and call 911 from a neighbor, Charles Ramsey's, phone. Ramsey said at the time that he saw Berry, who he didn't recognize, at a door that would open only enough to fit a hand through, screaming, ' Help me get out! I've been in here a long time.' 'We had to kick open the bottom,' he said. 'Lucky on that door it was aluminum. It was cheap. She climbed out with her daughter.' As Amanda fled the home and ran across the street to call police, the two other women followed her out when law enforcement arrived. 'Help me! I'm Amanda Berry... I've been kidnapped and I've been missing for ten years and I'm here. I'm free now,' Berry is heard saying in the call to police. 'I need them now before he gets back!' she said in the frantic phone call to 911, going on to identify her captor as Castro.

'I saw that police badge and I just ran into their arms and said "never let me go, never let me go."' 'When I was telling [first responders] my name, they looked like they'd seen a ghost or something. Like their face completely dropped,' DeJesus said of the moment police realized they finally found the three women. Castro was sentenced to life plus 1,000 years, in prison on August 1, 2013 after he pleaded guilty to 937 counts of kidnapping and rape. On September 3, 2013, one month into his sentence, he was found dead in his prison cell after committing suicide.

But under President Xi Jinping’s leadership, Confucianism has made a dramatic comeback as the bedrock of imperial Chinese ethics and governance, and other Chinese classics have become the pillars of Beijing’s efforts to shore up its intellectual foundation and governance philosophy amid an intensifying ideological competition with the US-led West. One of the latest ventures is the Ruzang, or “Confucian Canon”, project to create the largest ever compilation of Confucian classics. The project, which has had the input of nearly 500 scholars since it was started in 2003, was significantly elevated in 2014 when Xi became the first Chinese president to throw his personal weight behind it. Within China, the project is reminiscent of similar immense canon projects undertaken only a few times in the past 2,000 years, and is set to become a major source of inspiration for better governance. Among those contributing to Ruzang are international scholars, with Beijing apparently aiming to appeal to overseas Chinese. But experts point to geopolitical tensions and a public opinion of Confucianism as a Han-centric idea as obstacles. 10:54 Confucius makes comeback under communismpanalo91 。

Some were crime victims. Others lived and died in solitude. Some may have been lost hikers, runaway children, or wanderers. One thing connects the 58 or so remains at the Honolulu Medical Examiner’s Office found with no identification card and no next of kin to claim them: They remain nameless. Forensic pathologists hope that advanced DNA testing technology will allow them to attach names to all of the agency’s unidentified people. But for now, five cases — all children and teens — have been sent for additional testing thanks to a $50,000 grant from Texas-based cold case resolution company, Othram. They include the partial skeleton of a teenager found in Keehi Lagoon near the Daniel K. Inouye International Airport in 2002; parts of the body of a 7- to 10-year-old boy discovered in Waianae in 2000; six fingers of a girl under the age of 4 who was found in Honolulu in 2012; and the skeletal remains of an adolescent found mixed with animal bones inside of a vase purchased in Honolulu in 2015. The Honolulu Medical Examiner’s Office wouldn’t provide additional details about the individual cases but medicolegal investigator Charlotte Carter said each one represents a person whose family deserves closure. The five cases sent to Othram for testing were chosen in part because they are juveniles, who DNA experts felt had a good chance being identified through advanced technology. One case is connected to a 2014 homicide so the Honolulu Medical Examiners Office declined to provide information while the investigation continues. For the case involving the severed fingers, it’s unclear whether they belong to a child who died or only suffered trauma to their hands. The other cases could be missing children, a possibility that can’t be ruled out until DNA testing is complete. Carter said she’s committed to resolving the other unidentified cases in Honolulu’s morgue, especially if DNA testing becomes more accessible and affordable. “Anybody who’s unidentified deserves to have a chance at being found and identified,” she said, “and given their name back.” Testing Through Othram The Honolulu City Council in June accepted the grant from Houston-based Othram, which performs forensic genetic genealogy testing, which combines DNA analysis with genealogy research. So far, Carter said none of the samples have been identified. Sparse information about each case is available publicly through the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System, or NamUs , an organization funded by the National Institute of Justice that runs a national database of unidentified, missing and unclaimed persons. Representatives with NamUs did not respond to interview requests. For some cases, very little is known. For the skeletal remains found inside the vase in Honolulu, for example, forensic pathologists could not identify an age range, gender, height, weight or year of death — only that the person was still an adolescent. Other cases include more clues. The young boy found in Waianae in 2000 was suspected to have died that same year. He was recovered without a torso and was missing one or more of his limbs and one or both of his hands. A forensic artist reconstructed his face, which is included on his NamUs profile, showing what he may have looked like in life. He is listed in the missing children’s database as “John Waianae Doe 2000.” Carter said it can take a year or more for DNA testing results to come back. Thus far, her agency has worked on one successful identification with Othram. Skeletal remains unearthed by a construction crew in Manoa in 2010 were tested and later identified as belonging to William Hans Holling Jr., a Washington man last seen by friends and family in January 1985. Othram identified Holling’s remains and the Honolulu Police Department confirmed his identity in July. No arrests have been made, and the investigation remains open. How Forensic Genetic Genealogy Testing Works Forensic genetic genealogy testing allows investigators to search for an unidentified person’s relatives as a starting point and, with the help of public records, to build a family tree that they hope will get them closer to an identification. The method became popular in criminal investigations in the 2010s after companies like 23andMe and Ancestry came onto the market. Those companies block law enforcement agencies like the FBI from their databases, but investigators can use others, like GEDMatch, which is public facing, and FamilyTreeDNA, which allows limited access by law enforcement, according to Stephen Kramer, a former FBI in-house counsel and founder of Indago Solutions, a DNA identification company. While still working with the FBI in 2018, Kramer helped identify the Golden State Killer using forensic genetic genealogy testing. Joseph James DeAngelo Jr., pleaded guilty to 13 murder and rape charges for crimes committed in the 1970s and ’80s, and has admitted overall to 161 crimes involving 48 victims, including dozens of rapes. Kramer’s company recently identified Albert Lauro as the murder suspect in the 1991 killing of Dana Ireland on the Big Island. During a presentation to University of Hawaii law students this month, Kramer said genetic analysis of the DNA found on Ireland’s body connected him to ancestry information about the suspect. He discovered the man was 83% Filipino, meaning he had three Filipino grandparents. He was also 5% European and Scandinavian, with the rest a mix of Hawaiian, Maori and South Pacific Islander. That told Kramer the suspect’s fourth grandparent was about 30% European and 25% Pacific Islander, he said. Kramer focused on that grandparent because it’s generally easier to find public records for people of European descent. He used records to identify people with this ancestry who had moved to Hawaii and married into Filipino families, leaving very few potential matches. He traced a family tree with three Filipino grandparents and one grandparent descending from Europeans, Scandinavians and Pacific Islanders. There, he found his suspect. Investigators followed Lauro, picking up a fork he discarded, which was tested against a DNA sample from Ireland’s body. Detectives later reconfirmed Lauro’s identity with a swab when they brought him in for questioning on July 19. Hawaii County Police Chief Ben Moszkowicz later said police didn’t have enough probable cause to arrest Lauro for Ireland’s murder, and they let him go. He killed himself four days later. Unsolved Mysteries Lack of funds is the main obstacle to more intensive screening and forensic genetic genealogy on cold cases, Carter said. Each case costs about $10,000, and NamUs pays for Honolulu to send around five cases per year for testing. The 58 unidentified cases at the Honolulu Medical Examiner’s Office date back to about 1966 and include people found under a variety of circumstances. Many are skeletal remains uncovered at construction sites, Carter said. Others are remains discovered by hikers that likely belonged to people who were homeless and living in encampments in remote parts of the island. If remains are found on tribal lands, are more than 50 years old or otherwise suspected to be Native Hawaiian, medical examiners contact the Department of Land and Natural Resources’ State Historic Preservation Division for confirmation. If the remains are confirmed to be Native Hawaiian, the agency takes custody of them for repatriation. But some unidentified cases involve people who died fairly recently and, although they were physically recognizable when they were found, they still haven’t been claimed by family members or matched through any national database. Forensic pathologists have not been able to identify a woman fatally struck by a car while trying to cross the road at Ke’eaumoku and South King streets on May 21, 2016, Carter said. She was between 50 and 75 years old, of Asian or mixed Asian ancestry and appeared to be homeless, according to her NamUs profile . Her DNA was run through the national database, and Honolulu police collected her fingerprints and sent them to the FBI, but received no matches. A few people have come forward thinking they knew her, but her identity wasn’t able to be confirmed, Carter said. “That is a person who was a victim of a crime,” she said. “But, unfortunately, we’re not able to figure out who she is.” The most recent case was discovered on Oct. 9 when military personnel doing a training exercise found two femurs inside a camping tent off a hiking trail in Haleiwa. Carter said her office doesn’t track statistics on identifications but said usually one or two unidentified remains are ID’d each year through DNA testing. If a person is identified but their next of kin can’t be found, their case is moved to NamUs’s unclaimed persons database. If family members are found, they are able to collect their relative’s remains for burial or cremation, Carter said. She hopes that as technology improves, testing will become more accessible so every case can be resolved. “I just think everybody deserves a name and their family deserves an answer,” she said. “We have a lot of families who are out there wondering what happened to somebody they love. And now that there’s new technologies, we’re maybe going to get a little step closer to having more closure or more processing to that new normal for those families.” ___ This story was originally published by Honolulu Civil Beat and distributed through a partnership with The Associated Press.
