    they have been missing about 10 years

    http://www.newsnet5.com/dpp/news/local_news/cleveland_metro/Cleveland-police-dispatch-Missing-teens-Amanda-Berry-and-Gina-DeJesus-found-alive

    CLEVELAND - Cleveland police said missing teens Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus and a third woman were found in a west side house on Monday.
    Hundreds of people gathered in the streets near 2207 Seymour Avenue in Cleveland, where the women were discovered. Cleveland police said Berry, DeJesus and Michelle Knight are alive, talking and appear to be OK.

    “I heard screaming… And I see this girl going nuts trying to get outside,” said Charles, a neighbor who found the women. “I go on the porch and she said ‘Help me get out. I’ve been here a long time.’ I figure it was domestic violence dispute."
    “She comes out with a little girl and says ‘Call 911, my name is Amanda Berry’… When she told me, it didn’t register.” He said he made the call and gave Berry the phone. When police arrived, officers asked him if he knew who he rescued.

    A witness who spoke Spanish told NewsChannel5's Stephanie Ramirez that he helped break down the door. He said there was a child who was about 4 or 5 years old with Berry, as well as other children inside the house. He said he recognized Berry from posters.
    Officers have a suspect in custody. There will be a media briefing Tuesday morning.

    Berry was last seen in 2003 when she was called her sister to say she was getting a ride home from work at the Burger King on West 110th Street and Lorain Avenue. She was set to turn 17 the day after her disappearance. Her mother died of heart failure in 2006.
    On April 2, 2004, 14-year-old DeJesus went missing while walking home from Wilbur Wright Middle School. She was last seen around West 105 Street and Lorain Avenue. Her mother, Nancy Ruiz, said she believed DeJesus was sold into human trafficking.
    “I always said it from the beginning; she was sold to the highest bidder,” Ruiz said in April 2012.


    The remaining families of both women went to MetroHealth Medical Center, where they will be reunited. FBI agents were also at the hospital Monday night as family and friends flocked to see the women.
    "I am thankful that Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus and Michelle Knight have been found alive. We have many unanswered questions regarding this case and the investigation will be ongoing. Again, I am thankful that these three young ladies are found and alive," Mayor Frank Jackson said.

    Last summer, there was a break in Berry case that turned out to be an inmate’s hoax. Robert Wolford, 26, told authorities that Berry’s body was in a vacant lot in Cleveland. Police searched at West 30th Street and Wade Avenue in July with backhoes, but nothing was found. Wolford was sentenced to four and half years in prison after pleaded guilty to obstruction of justice, making a false report and making a false alarm.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 81,060 ✭✭✭✭biko


    Scary as **** these things goes on. Some creep keeping girls locked up in his house, I assume as sex slaves.

    Make me wonder how many other cases there are.

    I'm confused, does it mention human trafficking?
    I thought this was a case of abductions?

    The three women were identified by police as Gina DeJesus, Amanda Berry and Michelle Knight

    They were found a few miles from where they were abducted. I wonder did the police drop the ball on this one the same as they did with Jaycee Dugard?


  • Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 17,082 Mod ✭✭✭✭Manic Moran


    Tens of thousands of people within 'a few miles'.

    Cases like this seem to pop up surprisingly commonly. There was a girl found in California after 18 years,http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kidnapping_of_Jaycee_Lee_Dugard a few years back, and there of course is that Austrian one from a year or two ago.

    November 2004: Amanda's mother, Louwana Miller, appears on Montel Williams show with psychic Sylvia Browne. Browne tells Miller that Amanda is dead and she sees her "in water." Devastated, Miller is told she will see Amanda "on the other side, in Heaven."
    I hope this bullshitting bitch is hung out to dry. I can't stand how they take advantage of people just looking for some kind of hope. Arseholes.

    well this really is great news, but a mod should change the title to "girls missing for 10 years found & rescued in house in USA"

    this is such a great story though :)

    Berry's mother, Louwana Miller, died in 2006. Those close to her said the stress of her missing daughter took a toll on her health...

    Yeah, I read that. It's so sad that she won't get to see her daughter again, and worse still because of that nut case probably presumed her to be dead.

    A good news story for once. Family and friends of these girls, must be over the moon right now. Hopefully life in prison will be dished out to the kunts involved.

    Wasn't that the department of corrections, specifically the parole officers? It's a bit odd to be looking for someone to blame when his own neighbours never saw anything amiss.

    http://www.independent.ie/world-news/americas/three-women-abducted-a-decade-ago-found-alive-and-well-in-us-house-29247954.html
    Three women who were abducted about a decade ago in the US have been found at a house in Cleveland.

    It is believed they were tied up and kept captive in a basement of the property for the last 9-13 years.

    Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus and Michelle Knight were found after a neighbour heard screaming and called 911.

    Berry disappeared at age 16 on April 21, 2003, when she called her sister to say she was getting a lift home from her job at a Burger King. DeJesus went missing at age 14 on her way home from school about a year later.
    Knight disappeared about 10 years ago when she was 21.

    Children were also found at the property. Police have arrested a 52-year-old man and his two brothers in relation to the abductions.

    Freaky, would make you wonder how many other people are being held captive that have gone missing!

    That was my exact thought too when I heard this.

    It could be happening in our own towns and cities.

    Think of all the missing person cases in this country over the years.

    Chilling story.

    What a good news story, hopefully in time these girls will get through this horrific ordeal. I wish them the best.
    The men who are responsible for keeping these girls locked up will now know what it's like but not in the same way these girls endured.
