0 lennox home comfort systems. offer ends june 14th. and download our free lennox mobile app. ♪ lennox. innovation never felt so good. good morning. i'm ashleigh banfield. we are starting with that incredible story out of ohio, and what is developing right now. moments ago we learned new information about that little girl, the 6-year-old girl that escaped from that house with her mother, amanda berry, a captive. reuters is reporting that new dna tests confirm that kidnapping suspect ariel castro is, indeed, the father of that child. also, one local prosecutor says he is now looking to seek possibly the death penalty in this case. the county prosecutor says he is ready to press for more charges against ariel castro, including aggravated murder. why aggravated murder? well, they would be for the alleged termination of his captives' pregnancies. michelle knight alone told investigators that she had been impregna impregnated five different times and she miscarried after being starve and beaten in the stomach. she remains hospitalized today. all of this as cnn has learned that she had been removed from a federal missing persons database years ago. we're expecting a statement from the police as to why this happened, although the cleveland plain dealer said it was because of a misunderstanding with how the database was updated and how it was managed. finally, we're hearing from the suspect's own mother. here's what she had to say to reporters. >> i have a sick son who has done something serious. i'm suffering very much. i ask for forgiveness from those mothers. may those girls forgive me. i suffer the pain they suffered. i'm suffering for my son's pain. my son is sick, and i have nothing to do with what my son did. >> that was lillian castro, ariel castro's mother, and we are also hearing from one of ariel castro's daughters. here's what she had to say about these revelations in a cnn exclusive. >> i can't forgive him. like, there's no way. the main emotion that i have besides gratitude that these girls are home is disgust. you know, when i really sit down and start thinking about him, i literally want to vomit, that he was so deceptive to where i never picked up on it and family members never picked up on it. i mean, he was good at it. he was good at hiding it. >> that was angie greg who sat down exclusively with our own laurie seagull who joins me live now from cleveland. laurie, i think so many people have so many questions about ariel castro's family, how close they were to this man, this suspect, and if they had ever been in his house while all of these horrors were allegedly going on. >> yeah. i mean, ashley, angie, when we spoke to her, she was very, very close to ariel. she has been to is this home on seymour avenue. this is where it's all happening. she was in his home quite a bit. he was there a couple of months ago. she would go in and ariel would cook her food. she would listen to music. can you imagine the shock. she wrote her emotios down and read them in a letter. this is what she had to say to me. >> my husband and i are in complete disbelief that the caring, doding man i knew as my daddy was, in fact, the most evil, vile, demonic criminal that i have met or heard of over the past ten years. >> this is part a letter angie greg wrote after learning her father was allegedly behind the kidnappings in cleveland, ohio. now, she's speaking out. >> and to go to the girls to show these girls the footage of the parents pleas for the return, to rape, starve, and beat innocent human beings, i'm disgusted. >> what is that like? >> it's like a bad movie. >> oonl only you're in it? >> only we're in it. we're, you know, the main characters. i never suspected anything was going on. i think of things that make a whole lot of sense now. >> you look back and say, okay, you can piece together -- you are beginning to piece together a puzzle. what were the signs? >> well, he never wanted to leave the house more than a day at a time. he was adamant in the fact that he wanted to leave home in the early morning and he had to be back by evening. >> were there certain areas in the home that were just off limits? >> ever since my mom lived in that house, the basement was always locked. i have never been upstairs in the house, and i never had reason to be. i asked him if i can see my room for old times sake, and he says, oh, honey, there's so much junk up there, you don't want to go up there. >> when you think about, you know, what was behind those doors, how do you cope with that? >> it all makes sense now. now i know. it's hard, but i have no sympathy for the man. i have no sympathy. he is just another person who has lied and deceived and manipulated people, and i could never forgive him. i could never forgive him. if you were to ask me this last week, i would have told you, he is the best dad and the best grandpa. >> now angie realizes ariel castro may have fathered a daughter with one of the women he allegedly held captive. meaning she may have a sister. >> he showed me a picture that was on his cell phone randomly, and he said look at this cute little girl. i said she's cute, who is that? you know? and he said this is my girlfriend's child, and i said, dad, that girl looks like emily. emily is my younger sister wresh said, no, that's not my child. this is my girlfriend's child by somebody else. >> very powerful. yesterday was a really tough day for angie because she's a mother, and she sat down her two sons and she told them that she -- she told them what their grandfather had done, and it was a very hard conversation, as you can imagine, because she is still trying to wrap her head around it. there were tears. the younger one is too young to really understand it. ashleigh. >> laurie, what about any kind of -- i don't even know how to phrase this question. relationship, conversation? any future connection with this father? has she said? is it too early to even wrap her head around where she wants to be in the future with this man? >> listen, when we sat down with her, we know where she is at right now. she's saying is he dead to me. he is not my father anymore. this isn't the man i knew and she wants absolutely nothing to do with him. at this point you can imagine that she would go and she would face him just having found out all the things that he was capable of. >> just so many families destroyed and these horrors. excellent work. thank you for that. reporting live for us in cleveland. can you see more of laurie's exclusive interview with angie greg, who is the daughter of the suspect in this horrible crime, and it's on cnn.com. ariel castro, that suspect is now a captive himself. is he sitting in a jail cell, and it is really unlikely that he will make bail because the judge set it at $8 million. wile he sits in that dwell e cell, the prosecutor -- when he sits in that cell, the prosecutor now wants to bump up those charges. kidnapping and rape now, but he says he wants charges for each and every instance of sexual violence. and for each and every day that those women had been undergoing that kidnapping, had been held captive. he also says he wants to pursue perhaps even the most serious of the list, the aggravated murder charges he says are possible. he says the theory here, death of the women's unborn children. joining me now is cnn legal analyst, joey jackson, and attorney danny as well. let me just be clear right off the bat, all we know now are reports that one of the women has said that she had five pregnancies. we also know that one of the women had a child. we don't know anything beyond that, but joey, let's just start with the potential of any kind of murder charges in a state that carries the death penalty. do you see this as a possibility? >> it's certainly a possibility, ashleigh. now, that will be contingent, of course, upon the ultimate facts that are determined in the case. >> there will be a grand jury that convenes, and you need to show an aggravating circumstance. we certainly have it here. it was the death of others on the 13 years old. not that they were under 13, but certainly if there was a fetus there who was alive at the time, if there were miscarriages that he forced. certainly the prosecution can pursue that, and in the absence of pursuing a successful death penalty prosecution, ashleigh, they can also, of course, be -- he can be exposed to a life sentence on each of those charges. either way the punishment will be very severe. >> i mean, absolutely. if these are consecutive, i think each of the felony charges right now carry three to 11 years. if he gets the maximum consecutive, he is 50, he will never see the light of day. >> weigh in on the possibility of actually litigating a case like this. with the background that if anybody is confused as to why there would be a murder charge of a fetus that didn't have a birth certificate, this is not unusual. there are 38 states that have homicide statutes that actually applies to the killing of unborn fetuses, and ohio is one of at least 23 states that say that can be the earliest stages of pregnancy in this case. it is not as simple as that. evidence is critical in these kinds of prosecutions. what kind of evidence do we have here? >> so ohio allows for an aggravated murder where there's an unlawful termination of pregnancy. all of these house of horrors discussions that ultimately the crimes that may merit the death penalty are among the people that were never born. in this case unlawfully terminating the pregnancy of another is something that could warrant aggravated murder and potentially warrant the death penalty, although it's not easy to get the death penalty. the death penalty capital punishment is precluded in ohio unless one of these aggravated circumstances that joey was talking about. but how will the prosecution prove it? it will be difficult because there won't be any medical records. there will be zero scientific evidence, sfwler medical records. it will rely exclusively on the testimony of these victims. we'll have a horrific tale to tell. certainly the likelihood -- the defense perspective, look out for the defense to circle their wagons around the fact that there isn't any doctors evidence. there isn't any scientific documentary evidence that he terminated pregnancies. it will be interesting to see what they develop, and you better believe law enforcement is going to do their best to develop that evidence, that is probably why they're going over that residents with a fine-tooth comb. they want to make they are case, and when they make it, they want it to stick. >> joey jackson, i think what danny says is critical. in many of these prosecutions you must have some of the medical evidence, which obviously doesn't exist at this point. one thing they do have, they don't just have one witness's story. they don't even have two witness's stories. they have three witnesses who can corroborate that. if any defense attorney comes back and says, but your memory might be skewed, can you make that allegation right? >> you certainly can. there are a number of types of evidence in any case, ashleigh. certainly even the circumstantial evidence. that is that people can give evidence in a courtroom that may not be direct, but, you know what, if you walk outside and it wasn't raining when you came in, but it was wet, you could conclude that it rained when you were in. when you have direct evidence, which is the witness herself is saying, listen, terminated my pregnancy, when you have other witnesses in that home who can say, you know what, i was a witness to that, i was an ear witness, i was an eyewitness to that, and it certainly would then be very credible, and if the jury believes that it's credible and it's warranted as an aggravated factor, then you would have the death penalty, but as danny says, certainly it would be some difficulty to prove, and it would be defense attorneys who would be yelling and screaming there's no medical evidence. you can't just go on the words. you know what, ashleigh, they could. >> and i just want to let you know at the beginning of this broadcast, reuters got confirmation that the dna testing proving that the suspect is the father of that child, and cnn has confirmed that he has tested positive as the father of amanda berry's baby. i don't know that we would all be surprised by it, but you have to have it confirmed. thank you to you both. stay put, if you will. first degree murder conviction is nott the last chapter in the jodi arias story because today that woman is under guard in a very special cell. it is the psychiatric ward in a different jail. she has been moved. the drama continues both inside and outside the courtroom. we're live in phoenix next. i'm so glad you called. thank you. we're not in london, are we?
