PART ONE OF DR. PHIL’S EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH ARIEL CASTRO VICTIM MICHELLE KNIGHT AIRS TOMORROW, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 5

(Los Angeles, CA – November 4, 2013) – Part one of Dr. Phil’s exclusive two-part interview with Ariel Castro’s first victim, Michelle Knight, will air tomorrow, Tuesday, November 5, 2013 (check local listings).  Knight is the first of the three victims who escaped Castro’s Cleveland inner-city house to speak out.  

Knight was the only one in the house with Castro for nearly a year before his second victim arrived, followed by his third victim approximately a year after that.  Knight thought her only escape from this relentless punishment would be death, but on May 6, 2013, she along with his two other captives, managed to get out.  

“Three women were taken, three women were rescued, but only two went home,” said Dr. Phil, referring to Knight's refusal to reunite with her family after the three escaped.
