The story of Ariel Castro, The Monster of Cleveland, hits home.  Even before he abducted and tortured Michelle Knight, Amanda Berry and Gina DeJesus in the early 2000s, he treated the mother of his children - our beautiful late cousin Grimilda - horrifically throughout their entire relationship.  This is the first in a multi-part series that was difficult but important for us to research and discuss.   Our love and respect to the families affected.

La historia de Ariel Castro, El Monstruo de Cleveland, llega a casa. Incluso antes de secuestrar y torturar a Michelle Knight, Amanda Berry y Gina DeJesus a principios de la década de 2000, trató horriblemente a la madre de sus hijos - nuestra hermosa prima fallecida Grimilda - durante toda su relación. Esta es la primera de una serie de varias partes que fue difícil pero importante para nosotros investigar y discutir.  Nuestro cariño y respeto a las familias afectadas.
