Outwardly, there is little about the two-story, clapboard house on Cleveland’s Seymour Avenue that hints at the horror that authorities say played out inside.
This is a pretty sad story, from beginning to end. And now neighbors are faced with a life altering question: What did they miss, and could they have prevented anything if they would have seen signs that clearly they didn’t.
The money quote from CNN:
"Why didn’t I notice anything? What should I have been looking for?" asks Mickie Wodgik, who spent years living across the street from Castro and, it turns out, the three missing women.
"Were we all that oblivious?"
Were they? … We are all like that sometimes.
This is a good story to exemplify why we should all put the phones down, turn off the TV and maybe just sit on the porch again and get to know neighbors……..
But the troubling question: Do we really know anyone?
Cleveland neighborhood asks, how did it happen here?
