Suspect 'joined searches for women'

One of the suspects in the case of three women who were rescued this week, 10 years after they went missing, had been active in neighbourhood searches and vigils for the women, neighbours say.

When residents gathered for a candlelight vigil just a year ago to remember the girl, 52-year-old Ariel Castro was there too, comforting the girl’s mother. Castro, just like everyone else in the tight-knit, mostly Puerto Rican neighbourhood, seemed shaken by the 2004 disappearance of Gina DeJesus and another teenager who went missing the year before.
