AS details emerge of the incredible rescue of abducted women Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus and Michele Knight, focus moves to their alleged kidnappers and how they managed to keep them hidden for a decade.
Cleveland Police have confirmed three suspects, Hispanic males aged 50, 52 and 54, are under arrest.
Cleveland police officers have also begun an extensive search of the property.
"Hello? I need them [the police] now, before he gets back," an emotional Berry tells the 911 operator during her frantic neighbourhood rescue.
"Who's the guy that went out?" asks the operator.
"His name is Ariel Castro. He's 52. I'm Amanda Berry. I've been in the news for the last ten years."
So what do we know about Castro the man alleged to have abducted the women and kept them in his home for years.
The Cleveland Leader has reported that Castro lived in the house where the women were found since 1992. One year later according to NewsChannel5 he was arrested for domestic violence, although the victim of that apparent attack has not been identified.
The case was later dismissed but during the same month he was arrested for disorderly conduct and pleaded guilty.
NewsChannel5 also reports that he was stopped six times by Cleveland Police between 1995 and 2008 for traffic violations.
A representative with the Cleveland Metropolitan School District confirmed that a man by the name of Ariel Castro used to work as a bus driver for the district. However, spokesperson Roseann Canfora would not confirm it was the current suspect amid reports he was dismissed for doing an illegal U-turn while children were on the bus in 2012.
The district is expected to release a statement and have more information on Castro Tuesday morning US time.
Police are also said to be investigating a possible connection between Castro's daughter and Amanda Berry, who may have been classmates.
An article by a man called Ariel "Anthony" Castro – who said he was a journalism student - was published in community newspaper The Plain Press in 2004 surrounding the disappearance of Gina DeJesus.
The editor of the paper told US Correspondent for the UK's Daily Telegraph he believes the author is the son of the Ariel Castro arrested today.
The Sydney Morning Herald reports he is now a journalist at an NBC affiliate station in Cleveland.
"The day 14-year-old Gina DeJesus was last seen on her way home from Wilbur Wright Middle School, neighbourhood residents have been taken by an overwhelming need for caution.
"One thing is for certain, however. Almost everyone feels a connection with the family, and Gina's disappearance has the whole area talking."
Chillingly, Castro quotes DeJesus' mother Nancy Ruiz.
"It's a shame that a tragedy had to happen for me to really know my neighbours. Bless their heart, they've been great.
"People are really looking out for my daughter."
Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus, and Michele Knight went missing in 2003, 2004, and 2002, respectively.
Berry was abducted at age 16 in April 2003, DeJesus was taken at 14 in April 2004, and Knight was taken at age 21 in August 2002.
Berry, 27, DeJesus, 23, and Knight, 32, are being assessed and treated at MetroHealth Medical Centre.
