Three US women missing for years found alive in Cleveland

Three US women who disappeared as teenagers a decade ago or more have been found alive in the state of Ohio, police say.

Amanda Berry disappeared aged 16 in 2003, while Gina DeJesus went missing at the age of 14 a year later.

The women were found in a house in the city of Cleveland, along with a third woman, Michele Knight, 32, who also vanished years ago, police confirmed.

A 52-year-old suspect has been arrested in connection with the case.

Cleveland police said the women, who were taken to hospital, are in good health. At least one of the women is reported to have a baby.

"I am thankful that Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus and Michelle Knight have been found alive," Cleveland Mayor Frank Jackson said.

"We have many unanswered questions regarding this case and the investigation will be ongoing."

A witness told local news station WOIO that he saw a woman holding a baby run out of a house, screaming for help.

Crowds have reportedly gathered at the house where the women were being held.

Ms Berry was last heard from when she called her sister to say she would get a lift home from work at a Burger King restaurant.

In 2004, Ms DeJesus was said to be on her way home from school when she went missing.
The ladies are lucky to be alive to tell their harrowing stories .... :idc:

Scary stuff. Soooo many sick sick people in this world.

I dunno if I could handle being held captive that long, I'd probably kill myself.

Their cases were re-opened last year when a prison inmate tipped authorities that Ms Berry may have been buried in Cleveland. He received a four-and-a-half years in prison for the false information.

I'm talking to Anthony Castro right now, the son of Ariel Castro. While a BGSU student, he wrote this in 2004.

Amanda Berry's mother is dead now, so she never got to see her daughter again. :(

Shaun 07-05-2013 08:53 AM

strange that there were 3 of them, maybe there was some kind of Manson cult-worship stuff going on?

It is very sad, especially if she was a religious woman, she probably thought she would get to see her daughter in heaven.
