Seldom does a daughter use such harsh words to describe her own father. Ariel Castro’s daughter called him “the most evil, vile, demonic criminal” she ever heard of during a CNN exclusive interview Thursday. “He is dead to me,” Angie Gregg said of the father police say kidnapped, held captive, raped and beat three young women in Cleveland for about a decade. She had known her “daddy” as a “friendly, caring, doting man.” Now shocked and in disbelief, Gregg says she never wants to see him again.  “There will be no visits; there will be no phone calls,” she said. “He can never be Daddy again. I have no sympathy for the man.” As she mulled the accusations against him, she asked, “How could you?” “I wonder this whole time, how he could be so good to us, but he (allegedly) took young women, little girls, someone else’s babies, away from these families and over the years never felt enough guilt to just give up and let them free.”  Gregg did not think anything out of the ordinary was going on in her childhood home. All that changed Monday when Amanda Berry broke loose. Police freed her fellow captives Georgina DeJesus and Michelle Knight, divulging the secret locked up inside the house at 2207 Seymour Ave. When she first heard the news about their captivity, Gregg said, she “just wanted to die.” She had known Berry and DeJesus from her school days. Peculiarities she noticed about her father over the years started falling into place in a new, grim light, and they are making her feel “horrified,” she said. “This was going on right under my nose.”
