72. Amazing!

At first it seems like another Jaycee Lee Dugard story, but I'm guessing there's more to it. Jaycee's captor kept her for himself, but the fact that there were three women in the house in this case speaks more to human trafficking. Or maybe Castro just thought his brothers should have someone too? In any case, I hope he never sees the light of day again!
