Castro's daughter last to see DeJesus before kidnapping Suspect's daughter last to see kidnapped DeJesus Arlene Castro (right) appeared on America's Most Wanted in 2005 as the last person to have seen her friend Gina DeJesus (left) before she disappeared. DeJesus was found in Arlene's father's house. The last person to see Gina DeJesus before she went missing for nearly a decade was the daughter of Cleveland kidnapping suspect Ariel Castro, according to an interview the girl gave America's Most Wanted in 2005. In the program, Arlene Castro told the interviewer that she had been walking with her friend, the then 14-year-old DeJesus, after school and had wanted to go to DeJesus's house. Found: Amanda Berry, left, and Gina DeJesus. She borrowed 50 cents from DeJesus to use a payphone to call home for permission from her mother. My mom said 'no' that I can't go over to her house. And so I told her I couldn't and she said 'Well, okay I'll talk to you later.' And she just walked," said Arlene in the episode of the missing persons show that aired on the first anniversary of DeJesus' disappearance. According to Castro, DeJesus would have usually taken the bus home after school but because DeJesus had lent Castro her last 50 cents, she had to walk. Police dogs later tracked DeJesus' scent halfway down the block, where the trail went cold. DeJesus was 14 when she vanished on April 2, 2004. According to a report in the Daily Mail, who spoke to Ariel Castro's son Anthony, the alleged kidnapper split from his wife, Grimilda Figueroa, in 1996, eight years before his daughter's friend went missing. Anthony said neither he nor his three sisters had much of a relationship with Ariel Castro. DeJesus and two other girls, Amanda Berry and Michelle Knight, were freed from years of captivity in a Cleveland neighbourhood on Monday. Although the details are still emerging, sources have told the Cleveland police that the girls were raped and beaten by the suspected kidnappers. The America's Most Wanted interview, screened on the first anniversary of DeJesus's disappearance, reveals the surprising proximity of the abduction to people who would have known the victims. Ariel Castro's son, Ariel Jr, known as Anthony, also interviewed the mother Nancy Ruiz, about the abduction of her daughter in 2004. Overnight, Anthony Castro told the Daily Mail it was "conceivable" DeJesus got into his father's car because she "recognised him as the father of her best friend." A house where three women escaped. DeJesus's mother, Nancy Ruiz, also appeared in the 2004 TV interview. Ruiz, holding back tears, said of the day Gina went missing: "When I came home and I got on the phone from four o'clock I started calling friends and they said they did not see her." Ruiz was never to see Gina again, dying in 2006.
