\"Cleveland-Three-Missing-Women<\/a><\/h1>\n

Three women missing for decade found alive in Cleveland Ohio\u00a0just a few miles from where they went missing.<\/h1>\n

Ohio police said they thought Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus\u00a0and Michele Knight had been tied up in the property and had been there since they vanished.<\/p>\n

The trio, who went missing in their teens or early 20s, have been taken to a hospital for checks and were being reunited with relatives.<\/p>\n

They have also been described as being in good health after being found in a residential area just south of the city.<\/p>\n

Three brothers were arrested.\u00a0One of the men, a 52-year-old, lived at the home, and the others, ages 50 and 54, lived elsewhere.<\/p>\n

Ms Berry disappeared aged 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.<\/p>\n

Ms\u00a0DeJesus went missing aged 14 on her way home from school about a year after Ms Berry.<\/p>\n

The third woman, Ms Knight, had been missing since 2002 when she was believed to have been 20.<\/p>\n

Cheering crowds gathered on the street near the home where the women were found.<\/p>\n

The long nightmare for the trio ended when Ms Berry\u00a0reached her arm through a crack in the front door and called for help.<\/p>\n

Neighbour Charles Ramsay\u00a0heard her screaming, tried to get her out through the door but could not pull it open.<\/p>\n

So he kicked the bottom and she crawled through “carrying a little girl”.<\/p>\n

Ms Berry went into a nearby home and called police.<\/p>\n

In a recording of the 911 call, she told the emergency dispatcher:\u00a0“I’m Amanda Berry. I’ve been kidnapped. I’ve been missing for 10 years. I’m free. I’m here now.”<\/p>\n

She said she had been taken by someone and begged for officers to arrive at the home on Cleveland’s west side “before he gets back”.<\/p>\n

When police arrived, she said two other women were being held captive.<\/p>\n

They were also rescued and police said a six-year-old also was found in the home, but the child’s identity or relationship to anyone in the home was not revealed.<\/p>\n

Mr\u00a0Ramsay told how he rescued Ms Berry. He said: “I hear this girl screaming and she’s going nuts.<\/p>\n

“So I come outside and I know there’s nobody supposed to be screaming next door to my house because there’s no girl that lives in that house.<\/p>\n

“When I came to the front door and looked at her she said: ‘My name is Amanda Berry – please get me out of this house’.”<\/p>\n

Kayla Rogers, a childhood friend of Ms DeJesus\u00a0told The Plain Dealer newspaper: “I’ve been praying, never forgot about her, ever.<\/p>\n

\"US<\/a><\/p>\n

“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.”<\/p>\n

Ms\u00a0Berry’s cousin Tasheena Mitchell told the newspaper: “I’m going to hold her, and I’m going to squeeze her and I probably won’t let her go.”<\/p>\n

In January, a prison inmate was sentenced to four-and-a-half years in prison after admitting he provided a false burial tip in the disappearance of Ms Berry.<\/p>\n

Two men arrested for questioning in the disappearance of Ms\u00a0DeJesus 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.<\/p>\n

No Amber Alert was issued the day Ms DeJesus failed to return home because no one witnessed her abduction.<\/p>\n

That angered her father, Felix DeJesus, who said in 2006 he believed the public will listen even if the alerts become routine.<\/p>\n

“The Amber Alert should work for any missing child,” he said then.<\/p>\n

“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.”<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
