Evans the kidnapper news

You're referring to the case of Ariel Castro, also known as "Evans the Kidnapper". Here's a summary of the news surrounding his case:

Ariel Castro, a 52-year-old former bus driver, was arrested on May 6, 2013, and charged with the kidnapping and rape of three women: Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus, and Michelle Knight. The women had been missing for over a decade, with Berry missing since 2003, DeJesus since 2004, and Knight since 2002.

Castro was accused of holding the women captive in his home on Seymour Avenue in Cleveland, Ohio, where he subjected them to physical and sexual abuse, including rape, beatings, and psychological manipulation. The women were repeatedly beaten and threatened with death if they tried to escape.

The case drew widespread media attention due to the shocking nature of the crimes and the fact that the women were able to escape after Berry was able to call 911 and alert authorities to their situation.

Castro was subsequently charged with multiple counts of kidnapping, rape, and aggravated murder. In July 2013, he pleaded guilty to 937 counts of kidnapping, rape, and other charges.

On August 1, 2013, Castro was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. He was also sentenced to an additional 1,000 years in prison for the kidnapping and rape of the three women.

In September 2013, Castro attempted to hang himself in his cell at the Lorain Correctional Institution, but was found unresponsive and was taken to a hospital, where he was treated and released.

Castro died on September 3, 2013, at the age of 52, while in prison. The cause of death was determined to be a self-inflicted hanging.

The case of Ariel Castro and the kidnapping of Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus, and Michelle Knight has had a lasting impact on the community and has led to increased awareness and efforts to prevent similar crimes from occurring in the future.
