I ran a search on NCMEC for missing people in Ohio, to see if I could potentially identify the person previously held. I only got two real possibilities: Erica Baker and Kimberly Riley.
Sure, that would provide her a house number but she clearly gave the street with no hesitation. She didn't turn and ask someone she blurted it out quickly and anxiously.... She knew that address. And I only bring it because it adds an interesting layer of how they were held hostage. At the very least Amanda knew the name and age of her captor and knew the address.... I'm just wondering if he was moving these woman around at any time that she caught a street sign? Or maybe allowed to roam free in the house where she saw mail? It just made me wonder what in the world was going on for the past ten years!
I think the girl in the hospital bed is not the daughter of one of the kidnapped girls. I think it is Ariel Castro's granddaughter.

Her mother is in prison for trying to kill her, so Ariel could have been raising her. She'd be 6 now.
There is a photo of the girl on Anthony Castro's FB page and she looks just like hospital girl.
"Figueroa suffered two broken noses, broken ribs, a knocked-out tooth, a blood clot on the brain and two dislocated shoulders, according to a 2005 filing in Cuyahoga County Domestic Relations Court. Her attorney requested that a judge keep [Castro] from threatening to kill [Figueroa]."

Randomly showing up to search a home is not going to happen here in the US because of our Constitution.
While most people with nothing to hide would welcome a search in the case of a missing child there are those who just don't want the "government" intrusion. So legally all LE can do is go door to door and question the residence but they can not just enter the home.

I haven't seen anything on this thread about Christina Adkins. She disappeared years prior to Michelle. If Castro has lived here for 24 years, as reported, then he lived at this address when Adkins disappeared. It's a possibility that Adkins is the one that Michelle saw there who disappeared. It may also be her name on the basement wall with the RIP.

This was 2005....Gina went missing 2002 (welldepends on which report is right) so was this wife living there? and after the order he would kidnap the daughters... so were they staying there.
Couldn't imagine finding out I grew up in a house where girls were held captive and I didn't even know. I guess with someone so controlling he would be able to keep them from entering the basement.
So sad....no wonder the one daughter lost it. Not saying I excuse what she did. Hopefully the abuse cycle stopped with her.
