Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus Found Alive In Ohio After Being Reported Missing For 10 Years
By: THOMAS J. SHEERAN and JOHN COYNE
05/06/13
CLEVELAND — Three women who went missing separately about a decade ago, when they were in their teens or early 20s, had been tied up but were found alive Monday in a residential area just south of downtown, and three brothers were arrested, police said.
One of the women told a 911 dispatcher the person who had taken her was gone, and she pleaded for police officers to come and get her, saying, "I'm free now."
Cheering crowds gathered Monday night on the street near the home where police said Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus and Michelle Knight had been held since they went missing and were found earlier in the day.
Police didn't immediately provide any details of how the women were found but said they appeared to be in good health and had been taken to a hospital to be reunited with relatives and to be evaluated. They said a 6-year-old also was found in the home.
On a recorded 911 call Monday, Berry declared, "I'm Amanda Berry. I've been on the news for the last 10 years."
She said she had been taken by someone and begged for police officers to arrive at the home on Cleveland's west side before he returned.
"I've been kidnapped, and I've been missing for 10 years," she told the dispatcher. "And I'm here. I'm free now."
Berry disappeared at age 16 on April 21, 2003, when she called her sister to say she was getting a ride home from her job at a Burger King. DeJesus went missing at age 14 on her way home from school about a year later. They were found just a few miles from where they had gone missing.
Police said Knight went missing in 2002 and is 32 now. They didn't provide current ages for the other two women.
Police said one of the brothers, a 52-year-old, lived at the home. They released no names and gave no details about the others arrested or what charges they might face.
Dozens of police officers and sheriff's deputies remained at the scene late Monday awaiting a warrant to search the building where the women and the child were found.
Loved ones said they hadn't given up hope of seeing the women again. Among them was Kayla Rogers, a childhood friend of DeJesus.
"I've been praying, never forgot about her, ever," Rogers told The Plain Dealer newspaper. "This is amazing. This is a celebration. I'm so happy. I just want to see her walk out of those doors so I can hug her."
Berry's cousin Tasheena Mitchell told the newspaper she couldn't wait to have Berry in her arms.
"I'm going to hold her, and I'm going to squeeze her and I probably won't let her go," she said.
Berry's mother, Louwana Miller, who had been hospitalized for months with pancreatitis and other ailments, died in March 2006. She had spent the previous three years looking for her daughter, whose disappearance took a toll as her health steadily deteriorated, family and friends said.
Mayor Frank Jackson expressed gratitude that the three women were found alive.
"We have many unanswered questions regarding this case, and the investigation will be ongoing," he said in a statement.
At Metro Health Medical Center, Dr. Gerald Maloney declined to go into details about the women's conditions.
"We're assessing their needs, and the appropriate specialists are evaluating them as well," he said at a news conference, which concluded with a round of applause from a large gathering of area residents.
In January, a prison inmate was sentenced to 4 1/2 years after admitting he provided a false burial tip in the disappearance of Berry, who had last been seen the day before her 17th birthday. A judge in Cleveland sentenced Robert Wolford on his guilty plea to obstruction of justice, making a false report and making a false alarm.
Last summer, Wolford tipped authorities to look for Berry's remains in a Cleveland lot. He was taken to the location, which was dug up with backhoes.
Two men arrested for questioning in the disappearance of DeJesus in 2004 were released from the city jail in 2006 after officers did not find her body during a search of the men's house.
One of the men was transferred to the Cuyahoga County Jail on unrelated charges, while the other was allowed to go free, police said.
In September 2006, police acting on a tip tore up the concrete floor of the garage and used a cadaver dog to search unsuccessfully for DeJesus' body. Investigators confiscated 19 pieces of evidence during their search but declined to comment on the significance of the items then.
No Amber Alert was issued the day DeJesus failed to return home from school in April 2004 because no one witnessed her abduction. The lack of an Amber Alert angered her father, Felix DeJesus, who said in 2006 he believed the public will listen even if the alerts become routine.
"The Amber Alert should work for any missing child," Felix DeJesus said then. "It doesn't have to be an abduction. Whether it's an abduction or a runaway, a child needs to be found. We need to change this law."
Cleveland police said then that the alerts must be reserved for cases in which danger is imminent and the public can be of help in locating the suspect and child.

Neighbor details how he found Amanda Berry
By: Yamiche Alcindor
May 7, 2013
Amanda Berry, who had been missing for a decade, screamed from inside a home Monday until neighbors heard her.
Neighbor Charles Ramsey said he heard noises and saw another neighbor moving toward the house where Berry was located.
"I heard screaming," Ramsey told WEWS-TV. "I'm eating my McDonald's. I come outside. I see this girl going nuts trying to get out of a house."
Berry said she was being held captive and needed to get out of the house. Ramsey said the door would only open wide enough for a hand to fit through, so they kicked out the bottom and made enough space for her to escape. Berry came out and brought a young girl with her.
Berry identified herself and quickly called 911. "I'm Amanda Berry. ... I've been kidnapped, and I've been missing for 10 years. And I'm here. I'm free now."
Berry said more women were in the house and police arrived and freed Gina DeJesus and Michelle Knight within minutes of Berry's call.
Police have arrested three suspects in the case: Ariel Castro, 52, the owner of the house, Pedro Castro, 54, and Onil Castro, 50. Ramsey said he knew his neighbor and had eaten barbecue with him in the backyard.
"There was nothing exciting about him — well, until today," Ramsey told WEWS-TV.

Suddenly the news was switched from this amazing story and all the newsers and pressers to this daggonne ARIAS case which has FINALLY had a verdict reached. Today at 1:30pm PDT it will be announced. Then hopefully that trial will get DONE already. I hope she is found guilty for M1 life with no parole personally. But if the jury finds her guilty for M1 then the case goes to the death penalty phase so on and on it goes on TV for awhile longer yet. Phoenix (Arizona) laws allow for so much jury involvement as well as the defendant - too much IMO. I mean Arias testified for 18-19 days because the jury was able to question her. That is a bit much but I am used to CA law where the judge is the boss and the attorneys question the defendant.
I personally believe that CNN/HLN would have FOUGHT a lot harder to get TV coverage on the AEG trial if this sensationalistic case would have been over with already.
