Michelle Knight Recalls to Dr. Phil Years of Brutal Captivity (@DrPhil)

Michelle Knight, the first of three women to be kidnapped by the sick and cold-hearted Ariel Castro, has also become the first of the three women to open up in great and terrifying detail about the cruel abuse she suffered through over her more than 10 years of captivity.  Michelle Knight spent almost a full year alone with Castro, being raped and tortured in many cruel and sickening ways, before she was eventually joined by Gina DeJesus and Amanda Berry.  

She recalled to Dr. Phil how Castro would chain her up and hang her up on the wall “like a fish,” as she described it.  She also spoke about how he would set up scenarios to trick her into thinking she could escape, and once he caught her he would do horrible things to her.  Castro even forced Michelle to help him “prepare” another room for his next kidnapping victim to stay in.  He was truly a very sick man.  

This interview is very detailed and gruesome.  Check out the clips above to hear exactly what Michelle Knight had to suffer through at the hands of Ariel Castro.
