61. I hope I'm never happy when someone dies...

I know this man was evil, and it's over, at least. Hopefully, those affected by this monster will gain closure knowing that he can never harm them again in any way.

His three victims have shown remarkable strength in their recoveries and I wish them all the best. Michelle Knight, particularly, for coming forward and facing him. Such brave young women!

That said, I believe that Castro was one of the few who KNEW he was a sicko, and perhaps this was his own way of ending any potential threat that he might harm again.
