>>> one week ago tonight we learned about a miracle in cleveland.
>> we begin tonight with breaking news here on channel 3 news at 7:00. city hall officials are confirming reports that amanda berry and gina dejesus, two cleveland woman who have been missing ten years and nine years respectively have been found and they have been found alive.
>> they are alive. it is the moment that northeast ohio has been waiting for. amanda berry, gina dejesus found, held captive in a home miles from where they were a decade ago.
>> a week later and we're seeing dramatic new cell phone video shot by two women driving down the street that day. you can see police officers breaking down that door that had kept amanda berry, gina dejesus and michelle knight locked inside for so many years. amanda berry, who was first to break out of the house with her 6-year-old daughter, is advice nl there on the sidewalk. one of the witnesses described the emotional moment.
>> amanda berry was crying, she had her kid in her arms. she was saying that she needed help, that they were in danger. she just kept hugging the cop and saying, keep me projected. gina was shaking. she was scared. amanda was sad but you could tell in her eyes that she was free, you know.
>> suspect ariel castro brothers are clear and they are speaking out about what they think of their brother.
>> a monster, hateful. i hope he roethlisberger in that jail. i don't even want them to take his life like that. i want him to suffer in that jail. to the last extent. i don't care if they even feed him, after what he's done to my life and my family's.
>> i feel the same way.
>> called a monster by his brother and today we're learning more about this monster. joining me now is the associated press reporter megan. thanks for being here.
>> reporter: thanks for having me.
>> i understand that you have reported on other family members who would agree that he's a monster.
>> reporter: yes. i interviewed several of castro 's ex-wife's relatives and they described him as a monster. they described a man who had a twisted sense of humor and a terrifying rage. they said castro beat his wife relentlessly, he shoved her down a flight of stairs, he broke her nose and ribs. on one occasion, he shoved her into a box and closed the cardboard flaps over her head. his wife was kept a prisoner in her own home. castro would lock the doors from inside so she couldn't even life.
>> but at the same time we hear from neighbors that he was a likable guy, that he showed no signs of this. i mean, this kind of behavior that is con stra dikt industry, this is what is so disturbing to many of the people in that area that knew him and that watched him play gigs, it's like two different people in one body.
>> yeah, two very different portrayals of him. they are dumb founded by the allegations. they can't believe this is the same guy that they have known for so long. it's confusing for those that know the nice side of him.
>> his brother talks about how he was more shocked because ariel castro knew gina dejesus and knew gina 's father. let's listen to this.
>> you've got his daughter and you go around like nothing. you had posters. you give his mama and hug and you've got his daughter captive?
>> you know, in your reporting, did you get a sense that there were two sides to his personality by talking to people? i mean -- because as his brother is saying, he knew her father. went to the vigils and hugged the grandmother. he was showed this kind of active citizen thing, even beyond what would one say about where the investigation was and he's a vicious guy on the other side.
>> yeah. he actually even played music at fund-raisers in gina 's family members. archives show that several neighbors accused castro of coming after them and threat continuing them. one neighbor says castro came after him with a shovel. so there were signs of this other ariel castro but you're right, the two sides don't make sense.
>> well, the story continues to unfold but it is does not get any better at all and don't know how it can, given what has happened. thank god, though, for a miracle, a week ago that ended at least the captivity for these three young ladies. megan vaughn, thank you for your time tonight.
>> thanks for having me.
>>> coming up, a fox news pundit goes after the obama daughters. it's too much, sleazy, and the organization should be ashamed.
>>> and on a much lighter note, a big announcement in the world of comedy should have politicians and donald trump on notice. stay with us.
>> donald trump appears on fox, which is ironic, because a fox often appears on donald
