Crews board up Cleveland house of horrors

>>> that two of the kidnapped women in cleveland have spoken to each other. nbc news confirms that gina dejesus and michelle knight are in communication since michelle 's release from the hospital yesterday. this has 52-year-old ariel castro, the guy accused of kidnapping and raping the the three women over a decade is in jail. she reportedly under suicide watch . nbc's ron allen on the ground for us in cleveland following the developments. i know that you are still working and getting more information but at this point what can you tell us about the communication between these would women?

>> reporter: really not much, craig. only that this apparently happened at some point in the last 24 hours or so. since michelle knight was released from the hospital. we don't know the extent of it and don't know a lot about it. just -- makes sense they would be in touch. all of them would be in touch. families as well as they try to sort through this very difficult process. they are being -- getting a lot of requests for interviews and in touch with mental health ex-persons and in touch with the authorities and investigators. lawyers who are approaching them. it makes a lot of sense they would all be in some kind of communication at some point perhaps to sort of compare moats and to try to go through this together since they had such a very unique experience. unique horrible experience, obviously.

>> looks like there's -- once again activity at the house behind you there. can you tell us what's happening there? what will be happening the next couple of days as the castro home?

>> reporter: this has been going on now for a couple of days. there are workers down there. you can see behind me who are erecting a huge ten-foot tall or so fence around the property. they are boarding it up. boarded up a couple of buildings here, couple of the homes here. they are trying to seal it for investigators who we think finished collecting the evidence they need there, 2 had 00 items, we are told might immediate to go back, trial and other legal proceedings are going to take time. they are also concerned about vandalism and concerned about arson. there is a city council here earlier today who said that there had been credible threats he had received and was aware of. that some people were so angry about what happened and they wanted to burn down the house. now we don't know any specific information about that. but, again, there is a security concern that police have turned off the utilities in the area and they are trying to seal this thing down and try to -- protect the house as a piece of evidence. they want to open up the street at some point so that life -- to some extent can return to normal here at least on this street. and as the whole process continues to unwind. they have been at it for a while. it is probably going to take a while to finish but just want to preserve that place and as i said protect it as well.

>> es ron, we will come back to you later. thanks again, sir.
