However, the episode of “Criminal Minds” put a twist on the real-life kidnapping story by having just one of the three women escaping her abductor first.
The teenage girl managed to escape a suburban home where she and two others were being held in bondage for years.
The BAU then searched for the UnSub who kidnapped them and eventually apprehended him.
Back in the real-life kidnapping story, Castro was arrested by authorities and sentenced to life in prison without parole after pleading guilty to 937 counts of rape, kidnapping, and aggravated murder. However, he committed suicide just one month into his sentence.
The past episode of “Criminal Minds” featured the three young girls being kept in a room and Agent Derek Morgan, played by Shemar Moore, was heard saying that the girls have been there for over 10 years.
The episode also showed the UnSub telling the girls that if somebody found out about them, Daddy, referring to himself, always loves them.
Episode 14 of “Criminal Minds” was directed by Bethany Rooney and was written by Virgil Williams. Guest stars included Daniel Roebuck as Michael Clark Thompson a.k.a. the UnSub, Amelia Rose Blaire as Violet/Amelia Hawthorne, Rebekah Kennedy as Gina Bryant, and Pearl Dickson as Sheila Woods, who were the three kidnapped women.
