Says it&#8217;s ongoing investigation. FBI is in charge of the crime scene at 2207 Seymour. Says they will not answer many questions out of respect for the privacy of the family and when the suspects go before a Grand Jury, the public will know. Says the girls have not been questioned to any great depth. He expects the pertinent information to come from women, not the suspects. \u201cThe real hero here is Amanda. She\u2019s the one who got this rolling,\u201d Cleveland Deputy Police Chief Ed Tomba said. \u201cWe\u2019re just following her lead.\u201d<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>* The police arrived within 2 minutes and in 5 minutes verified that Amanda Berry was indeed who she said she was.<\/p>\n<p>* Gina DeJesus and Michelle Knight came out of the house at 2207 Seymour, crawling out the bottom of the door panel that Amanda had kicked out after the police went from 2210 to 2207 Seymour; however, the police did not enter the 2207 house. The women came out on their own.<\/p>\n<p>* Ariel Castro 52 listed 2207 Seymour as his residence, believed to be the owner.<\/p>\n<p>* Pedro 54 and Oneil 50 Castro lived elsewhere in the lower west side.<\/p>\n<p>* No police were ever called to the house at 2207 Seymour since they started keeping records in 2006.\u00a0 No neighbor ever saw or heard any disturbance there prior to Amanda screaming on May 6, 2013 when Charles Ramsey responded to her cries for help.<\/p>\n<p>* Ariel Castro came to police attention in 2004, when he apparently left a child unattended on his school bus, but authorities who investigated the incident determined that it was accidental, law enforcement authorities said.<\/p>\n<p>* The police got one phone call from Ariel Castro several years ago to report a fight in the street. When police arrived no people were found in the streets.<\/p>\n<p>* In hindsight, neighbors reported that the house always had the blinds shut and now find that odd.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-family: Verdana,sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-size: small\">Related Stories and Updates<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-family: Verdana,sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-size: small\">Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus, Michelle Knight Found Alive \u2013 May 6, 2013<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong><span style=\"font-family: Verdana,sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-size: small\">Miracle in Cleveland!
