On Friday, FOX 8 released an interview with Amanda Berry and Gina DeJesus, two of the victims who were chained up in a house with kidnapper Ariel Castro. The girls were taken as teenagers, and as grown women, they eventually found their freedom in 2013.
Castro was locked up in prison with a number of charges. He had only spent so much time there until he hanged himself.
Chatter On Cleveland Kidnapping Victims & Their Frightening Story
The survivors were asked how they felt when they had heard this happened.
"I think he was a coward," DeJesus said. "He took the easy way out."
"I just couldn't believe it," Berry said. "Like, he was in there not even a month and he couldn't deal with what he put us through for ten years."
The third victim who was held in Castro's captivity was Michelle Knight. She also spoke to FOX 8 recently about the Lifetime movie Cleveland Abduction based on the girls' kidnapping. She mentioned that she visited sets from the movie and might plan to watch it someday in the future.
"I had to dig pretty deep to let me emotions go into this movie," she said. "Because I wanted to give the world something to have hope, courage and strength and know that amongst all the darkness, you can still rise above all of that."
