'We don't have monster in our blood,' says Ohio suspect's daughter

Castro's daughter doesn't want to see him


The story of the Ohio kidnap is taking a new turn. Here the suspect opinion about it all.
One of the daughters of an Ohio man accused of holding three women against their will for the better part of a decade said Thursday that pieces of her father's life she didn't understand are falling into place.
Angie Gregg recalled strange things she noticed over the years, such as how her father kept his house locked tight, or disappeared during dinner with no explanation.
He took forever to answer the door and never wanted to leave the house for more than a day. Sometimes when Gregg was over, he'd have the music turned up loud.
"I never suspected anything was going on, but the more I sit and dwell on it, I think of things that make a whole lot of sense now," she told CNN.
"It's all adding up, and I'm just disgusted; I'm horrified."
Gregg's father is Ariel Castro, who is in jail on kidnapping and rape charges in the case of three long-missing women.
Amanda Berry, 27; Georgina "Gina" DeJesus, 23; and Michelle Knight, 32 -- and a 6-year-old daughter born to Berry in captivity -- were found alive this week in Cleveland.
The women are believed to have been abducted years ago -- in 2002, 2003 and 2004 -- and held captive at Castro's home.
Gregg said that when she first heard the news about her father, she "just wanted to die."
"It was like everything crashed down, like I just wanted to melt into the floor," she said.
Gregg has no doubt in her mind that her father is guilty and says she has no problem cutting him out of her life: "I never want to see him again."
Asked what she wants people to know, she said she hopes they can understand her father's actions are not a reflection of her family.
"They're definitely not a reflection of myself or my children. We don't have monster in our blood," she said, describing what's happened to them as like a horror movie.
"It's like watching a bad movie ... only we're in it," she said. "We're, you know, the main characters."
Gregg said she never saw signs of the 6-year-old at her father's house, and that she never saw her with him.
But about two months ago, he showed her a picture in his cell phone.
Gregg asked who it was.
Her father told her that the girl was his girlfriend's child by somebody else.
"I figured at the most he had an illegitimate child out there, you know, and I would find out eventually," Gregg said.
