In one of the most bizarre twists of the Cleveland “house of horrors” story, the daughter of accused rapist Ariel Castro was best friends with Gina DeJesus, and may have been the last person to see the victim before the girl was kidnapped in 2004 at age 14.

Ariel Castro kidnapped his victims by offering them rides, then chained them in the basement of his home on Cleveland’s West Side, where they were repeatedly raped over the course of a decade, prosecutors say.
