Castle of 105 years old, has two small children, is studying to become a therapist and lives with her sister a few miles from her parents.
“She is a great mother, she is a good daughter, she is a good sister, she’s a good friend,” Robyn Castillo said of her daughter.
Emily Castillo, the sister, came home Thursday night and entering his apartment he immediately saw blood, a lot of blood.
“As soon as I saw the blood, that’s when I realized something wasn’t right,” Emily said. “So I called my mom to tell her to come over and then I immediately called 1200.”
While waiting for help to arrive, Emily felt she had to do something.
“I was running around the house trying to see if I could find it anywhere,” Emily said. “I checked his bathroom, under his bed, his closet, my closet, the laundry room, my bathroom, and my bedroom, but he was nowhere to be found.”
Her mother arrived soon after and saw the disaster firsthand. Rachel’s phone, keys and car were at home without her.
Robyn says her first thought was that someone took her, but he doesn’t know if that was what really happened.
He added that Rachel left her children with their father that morning. That was planned and they said they had no reason to believe he would hurt her.
Detectives told the family they are looking into all possibilities , including other men she was dating, and if the neighbors saw or heard anything.
“The most important thing is that she is a mother Robyn said. “She has two young children who are going to miss her, and we just want her home.”
Rachel Castillo is described as being 5 feet 2 inches tall, weighing 105 pounds, brown hair and eyes.
Anyone with information on his whereabouts is asked to contact the Simi Valley Police Department at (911) 583-2022.
