you, pam. reporter: good morning to you. as the women heal and recover, we hear from sources that ariel castro confessed to some of his actions related to his behavior over the last ten years. these exclusive pictures obtained by cnn give us the first glimpse into ariel castro s backyard, though much of it is obscured by tarps, jugs are strewn all around. and this weary image of a white cross spotted by a neighbor. at his first court appearance, castro looked despondent looking down and making eye contact with no one. we evaluate to seek charges eligible for the death penalty. reporter: following arraignment, the prosecutor made it clear additional charges could likely be added. castro already faces four counts of kidnapping and three counts of rape. for each and every act of sexual violence, rape, each day of kidnapping, every felonious assault, all his attempted murders and each aggravated murder. reporter: one of the women, michelle knight, became pregnant five times during her captivity and each time castro starved her and punched her repeatedly in the stomach until she miscarried. for reasons still unknown, amanda berry was able to give birth to her baby and case roe forced knight to deliver according to the report. when the child stopped breathing, knight gave the baby cpr. as investigators sift through 200 pieces of evidence out of this house of horrors, one in particular is getting attention. details of a note written by castro in 2004 have surfaced. according to law enforcement surfaces, castro wrote about being abused by a family member. in an attempt to justify his own actions. cast roar has been cooperating with investigators and confessed to some of his actions. ariel castro s daughter arlene gave an emotional interview to abc news. i would like to say that i m absolutely so, so sorry. i really want to see you, gina. and i want you to meet my kids. i m so sorry for everything. reporter: and we are learning from the ohio attorney general that a rush order has been placed on the result of the dna test for ariel castro, and they are expecting those results some time today. as i mentioned, we are here outside the house of gina dejesus, who is recovering and healing with her family. you can see behind me there are lots of balloons outside the home. certainly a lot of community support for this family and the other families here affected by this. pam, can you tell us more about what castro reportedly wrote back in 2004? reporter: well, zoraida, we know investigators went through evidence and among the evidence taken from the home are these notes written by ariel castro back in 2004 according to sources, these are pretty lengthy documents we are finding out. and in these documents n these notes, basically castro is rationalizing, justifying his actions and talking about the reasons behind his actions after abducting the women allegedly more than a decade ago, and then his actions towards them over the couple of years before he wrote that letter. so we are learning, also, that he talks about abuse from a family member and he uses that in these notes to justify his behavior. all right. pamela brown live outside gina dejesus home. thank you for that. and the daughter closest to ariel castro is also speaking out exclusively to cnn. angie gregg is angry and so heart broken. she says she never saw signs of that horror that was allegedly unfolding right inside her father s house and wants the world to know her family does not have monster in their blood. laurie siegal with the interview you will only see on cnn. my husband and i are in complete disbelief that the friendly, caring, doting man i knew as my daddy, was, in fact, the most demonic criminal that i have met or heard of over the past ten years. reporter: this is part of the letter angie gregg wrote after learning her father was behind the brutal kidnappings in cleveland, ohio. now she s speaking out. to go to the vigils, to show the girls parents footage and pleas for return, to rape starve and beat human innocent beings, i m disgusting. reporter: you learned your father wasn t the guy you thought he was. what is that like? it s like a horror movie. it s like watching a bad movie. reporter: only you re in it. only we re in it, we re the man characters. and i never suspected anything was going on, but the more i sit and dwell on it, i think of things that make a whole lot of sense now. reporter: you look back and say, okay, you can piece together, you re beginning to piece together a puzzle, where were the signs? well, he never wanted to leave the house more than a day at a time. he wassed he was adamant when he left the home he had to be back in the morning. ever since my mom lived in the house, the basement was kept locked. i have never been upstairs in the house and i never had reason to be. i asked him to see my room for old times sake and he says, oh, honey, there s so much junk up there. you don t want to go up there. reporter: when you think about what might have been and what was behind those doors, how do you, how do you cope with that? i mean, it all makes sense now. now i know. it s hard, but i have no sympathy for the man. i have no sympathy. he was just another person who s lied and deceived and manipulated people. and i could never forgive him. i could never forgive him. if he would have asked me this last week, i would have told you he s the best dad and grandpa. reporter: now angie realizes ariel castro may have fathered a daughter with one of the women he allegedly held captive, meaning she may have a sister. he showed me a picture that was in his cell phone randomly, and he said, look at this cute little girl. it was a face shot. and i said, she s cute, who is that? you know? and he said, this is my girlfriend s child. and i said, dad, that girl looks like emily. emily s my younger sister. and he said, no, that s not my child, that s my girlfriend s child by somebody else. reporter: angie said she was always close with her father but she witnessed abuse in hair home. he was pretty jealous. he was always saying that my mom was, you know, messing with certain neighbors, things like that. and i ve seen, i ve seen him basically stomp on her like she was a man. he s beat her pretty bad several times. reporter: her mother passed away from cancer-related complications in 2012. i ve lost my mother, now i ve lost a father, but i don t i don t cry for him. reporter: if you had a message for him, what would it be? all this time why? why i don t even know what to say. why, after all this time, why did you do it in the first place? why did you take these girls? and why did you never leave? and why did you never why did you never feel guilty enough to let them go? reporter: what message do you have for these women and their families? i feel so much so much sorrow that you had to endure this. i m glad that you re back home with your family, finally, because they never stop thinking about you. they never stopped, they never forgot you. right now these girls need to heal. reporter: do you feel that you re going to need to heal, too? oh, i ll be fine. i wasn t submitted to the horror that they were. reporter: in a day you have lost the man that raised you, that must be hard. he s nothing but a memory anymore. he can never be daddy again. reporter: laurie is going to join us later at 7:00. we ll talk more about this interview and some of the details she got out of there. and john, i have to tell you, you watch this and just think, how did this man allow all of these people inside to this house knowing now what we know was going on inside of that house. it just baffles your mind. you can see the daughter, the wheels spinning in her head, trying to remember all the details over the last ten years. it is absolutely riveting, fascinating. thank you so much for that. we ll go back to cleveland in just a moment. meanwhile, new this morning, high-speed, high-risk and now deadly. the death of an olympic gold medal sailor raising questions about the safety of high-speed yacht racing. 36-year-old andrew simpson there on the right of this picture, was killed when his yacht crashed in san francisco bay trapping him underneath, under water for about ten minutes. here s dan simon. reporter: after the highest speeds, the 72-foot cat ma rans look as if they are almost flying. in the right conditions they can reach speeds of 45 miles an hour. that s why a capsize can turn deadly. it happened thursday afternoon in the san francisco bay. a boat operated by the artimus racing team wednesday end over end hurling the team of 12 sailors into the water. the crew representing sweden was practicing for this summer s america s cup. andrew simpson, an olympic gold medalist and well-known figure in the sailing world, died after being trapped underneath the vessel. a desperate scene unfolded on the shore as paramedics tried to save his life. it s shock iing, it s an experience to go through and we have a lot to deal with in the next few days in terms of assuring everybody s well-being. reporter: winds thursday were strong on the bay but not abnormal. it s one of the reasons san francisco bay is considered a sailor s nirvana and why the america s cup is being held here this summer. it s a tragic day. this is someone that s very well-known and well-regarded as an expert racer. and everyone worked really hard to not have this outcome. these are always difficult things to report. and our hearts go out to family and members of the racing team of the artimus. reporter: it wasn t the first mishap involving one of these yachts. last fall team oracle from the united states capsized its $8 million boat in a nearby part of the bay. but no one was seriously injured in the accident. the team had another close call in 2011 when a smaller catamaran sent sailors flying through the air. these boats are all harnessing new technology allowing them to travel faster than ever before. it s not immediately clear what caused the artimus boat to capsize, but with one of the sports star sailors dead and other high-profile incidents, the debate is growing whether these boats, engineering marvels they may be, are too dangerous for competition. dan simon, cnn, san francisco. and we have new developments in the jodi arias murder case. arias is being held in a psychiatric prison ward under constant supervision in phoenix. hln s dr. drew pinsky doesn t think arias is faking it. if somebody s in a psychiatric ward, a
