EXCLUSIVE: Son believes 'abductor' Ariel Castro chose his youngest victim Gina DeJesus, now 23, almost a decade ago because she was his daughter's best friend Anthony Castro fears his father may have targeted his youngest victim because she was best friends with his daughter Ariel Castro, 52, and his brothers Pedro and Onil have been arrested on suspicion of kidnapping By Michael Zennie In Columbus, Ohio, Louise Boyle and David Mccormack The son of Ariel Castro says it is conceivable that his father may have targeted his youngest kidnapping victim because she was a close friend of his daughter. Anthony Castro, 31, exclusively told MailOnline that Gina DeJesus could have been abducted from a busy Cleveland street almost ten years ago because she knew him as her friend's father. Police have arrested former Cleveland school bus driver Ariel Castro, 52, plus his brothers Pedro Castro, 54; and Onil Castro, 50, in connection with the alleged abductions. Arlene Castro, Anthony Castro's little sister was the last person to see 14-year-old Gina her best friend, before her abduction in April 2004. Antony said it was "conceivable" that Gina got into Ariel Castro's car instead of walking home because she recognized him as the father of her best friend. That's one of the thoughts that went through my head because Gina disappeared in broad daylight on a very busy street. It's probably the busiest street on the west side of Cleveland,' said Anthony Castro. It make you think how could she possibly disappeared without any trace. If she was abducted forcefully somebody would have seen it. Anthony does not know if Gina had been to Ariel Castro's house on Seymour Avenue before she was abducted and he did not know if Arlene Castro had ever visited her father while her best friend Gina was being held against her will inside his house. Coming home: Gina DeJesus, now 23, who disappeared in Cleveland, Ohio in 2004, escaped from a home on Monday just miles from where she went missing - and is believed to have known her abductor It was also revealed on Tuesday that Ariel Castro had attended vigils to pray for the safe return of the three missing women including his daughter's best friend. In an interview with MailOnline, Anthony Castro has revealed his father padlocked the doors leading to his basement, his attic and his garage and never allowed his family inside. I'm just thankful they're alive,' said Anthony. Neighbors have revealed they saw three naked young girls crawling in the backyard of Castro's house on all fours with dog leashes around their necks and three men controlling them, but that police never responded to their call. The shocking revelation is one of a number of stories to have emerged from neighbors who say they reported unusual goings-on at Castro's Seymour Avenue, Cleveland home to local police who either didn't respond or if they did never actually entered the house. Israel Lugo, who lives two houses down from Castro, said he heard pounding on some of the doors of Castro's house, which had plastic bags on the windows, in November 2011. In that instant police responded to his call, but officers only knocked on the front door and left when no one answered. "When we seen the lady, like, the backyard was opened," Samoylicz told CNN. Then, like, after that, like a week or two after, he put tarps up. He like, secluded himself. A third call came from a women who lived in a nearby apartment building. The women, who haven't been identified, told Lugo that they called police because they saw three young girls crawling on all fours naked with dog leashes around their necks. The women told Lugo they waited two hours but police never responded to the calls. The aunt added: 'She knew who we were and she knew we were looking for her all this time.'
