911 call -- 'I've been kidnapped!' -- cops find 3 women missing for years
Amanda Berry was last seen after finishing her shift at a Burger King in Cleveland in 2003. It was the eve of her 17th birthday.
Georgina "Gina" DeJesus disappeared nearly a year later, in April 2004. She was 14.
Michele Knight vanished in 2002, at age 21, according to the Plain Dealer.
Al three were found alive in a home in a Cleveland neighborhood Monday night, police announced in a development hailed as a miracle by their families.
"Help me, I am Amanda Berry," Berry told police in a frantic 911 call from a neighbor's house. "I've been kidnapped and I've been missing for 10 years. And I'm here, I'm free now."

Unreal. Wow.

That just gave me chills

This is incredible. The little girl in the hospital bed pictured by Amanda I'm assuming is one of the children rescued. She looks like one of the suspects(Castro) I'm sorry to say which confirms I would guess what this was--a sex trafficking or slave operation and this child is likely the product of their capture and abuse:-( Can't help but wonder if one of their piece of trash captors were eying up one of the kids and that finally sprung one of these gals into action. Seems sometimes kidnapped women have a way of resigning themselves that this is now their lives--they give up, but can change on a dime if they feel their children are threatened in some way. I just can't imagine losing a decade of life. My children have grown up so much in that time and one was even born after and is almost the age of how long they have been missing--I just can't imagine. :(

BTW, kudos to the guy who noticed Amanda Berry banging on the door trying to get out and helped her escape. What's funny though is he said he thought it was odd to see a white woman in that neighborhood in distress like that--RACIST!!!!! :lmao: Sorry to make light, but if that had been said in reverse in a 'white' neighborhood, the person would have been called a racist for saying it. I don't think either way, the guy saw something out of place in his neighborhood--those not overly sensitive like the buttwipes at DU would totally understand what he is saying or if it was in a another setting--generally it means, something ain't normal here for what I usually see and that's the sum total of it. But kudos to this fellow for not being an oversensitive dipshit and realizing what he was seeing was not a normal occurrence or site for where he lived. Maybe if more people had been more cognicent of things being out of place, these young ladies would not have been held for a decade.
-
I'm glad they are safe.
-
Some of the back stories are even more intriguing.
At least one guy serving 4.5 years in prison for sending the cops and investigators off on a wild-goose chase in digging up one of the missing girl's corpse -- which, of course, went nowhere.
There will be a lot of drama coming out of this one. Just what Cleveland needs! :lmao:
-
This was unbelievable! I saw this on the morning news. I'm so glad they're all alive. What an ordeal.
-
The whole neighborhood came out for this one.

That is a miracle! :yahoo:
Yes it is. It's strange no one knew, those houses are close together. How did they keep a baby quiet without the neighbors hearing her?
I wonder if they had been in that house all that time.

A baby crying in a residential area isn't exactly out of place.

Cleveland kidnapping: Suspect Ariel Castro’s daughter in prison for slashing her baby’s throat
http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/cleveland-suspect-daughter-prison-attempted-murder-article-1.1337219
The daughter of Ariel Castro, the main suspect in the kidnapping and decade-long imprisonment of three Cleveland women, is serving 25 years in jail for slashing her baby daughter's throat.
Emily Castro, who suffered from mental illness, was convicted in Indiana in February 2008 of trying to kill her 11-month-old daughter Janyla, according to an Indiana newspaper and court reports.

Beasts beat pregnant captives in 10 years of hell in Ohio dungeon
http://www.nypost.com/p/news/national/nightmare_of_rape_torture_Gvv1Mu81OI25qDNZPzmACO
Three kidnapped young women were starved, repeatedly raped — and then beaten when they got pregnant — in a basement Cleveland dungeon run by three twisted brothers, law-enforcement sources said yesterday.
The tortured victims were imprisoned in a dilapidated, white-clapboard home with chains mounted to the ceiling for about 10 years before finally escaping Monday evening.
Michelle Knight, 32, Amanda Berry, 27, and Gina DeJesus, 23, were treated as sex slaves — kept chained and taped in separate rooms, sources told the local ABC affiliate.

A lot of other girls disappeared from that area. I'm sure there are some dead bodies laying around, not to mention the other four pregnancies not yet accounted for.

Absolutely! There could be more victims unaccounted for and possibly murdered. :puke: :argh:

Prosecutor: Ariel Castro could face death penalty
http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2013/05/09/cleveland-ariel-castro-amanda-berry-arraignment-kidnap-rape/2146289/
CLEVELAND -- Ariel Castro, the former school bus driver who owned the home where three women were held captive for the past decade, was arraigned Thursday morning on kidnapping and rape charges. But Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Timothy McGinty said later Thursday thatCastro could face murder charges if he's implicated in the deaths of the victims' unborn children.
McGinty said pending further police investigation, Castro, 52, could face charge of murder in the course of kidnapping, which carries a potential death penalty. McGinty will present the case to the grand jury and would seek aggravated murder charges for each of the pregnancies.
Initial police reports obtained by Cleveland TV station WKYC said kidnap victims Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus and Michelle Knight were raped by Castro. Knight was impregnated five times during her captivity, then starved and beaten, forcing the termination of the fetuses. Berry, also impregnated, gave birth to a baby - now 6 - in Castro's basement, according to the report.
He deserves to be executed. :argh:

Ariel Castro is lone brother to be charged in kidnapping, rape of three women in his Cleveland hell house
http://www.nydailynews.com/news/crime/castro-brothers-spend-night-jail-article-1.1338131
On the two occasions where the captives were allowed outside, Castro made the women don disguises and walk to the home’s detached garage.
Investigators pulled more than 200 pieces of evidence from Castro’s two-story torture chamber on Seymour Ave. — including a detailed and damning note written by the suspect in 2004, the Daily News has learned.
The four-page missive implicated Castro as the lone suspect in the horrific case, and convinced detectives they had the right man behind bars, a source told The News.
Her father, 75-year-old Ismail Figueroa, told The News that Castro once knocked his daughter down a staircase — leaving her with a broken arm and separated shoulder when they lived upstairs in his home.
The mother of the Castro brothers, Lillian Rodriguez, was hiding Wednesday behind the locked door of her Cleveland home.
Neighbor Lucy Roman, 65, said the woman was a member of the Jehovah’s Witnesses, and was often seen going to church or gardening outside her home.
She described eldest brother Pedro as a heavy drinker who lived with his mom and rode a bicycle around the neighborhood.

Cleveland kidnapping suspect pleads not guilty to 977 counts
The new indictment encompasses all the years of the women's alleged captivity, whereas the previous indictment covered only the first four and a half years, the Cuyahoga County prosecutor's office said.
Among the charges are two counts of aggravated murder, in which Castro is accused of intentionally causing the termination of a pregnancy.
Castro also faces 512 counts of kidnapping, 446 counts of rape, seven counts of gross sexual imposition, six counts of felonious assault, three counts of child endangerment and one count of possessing criminal tools.

I just can't see the death penalty in this case, though there's no doubt this pig needs to be put down like the animal he is.

Ariel Castro accepts plea deal in Ohio kidnapping case, avoids death penalty
http://www.foxnews.com/us/2013/07/26/plea-deal-talks-underway-in-ohio-kidnapping-case/
The Cleveland man accused of holding three women captive in his home for about a decade agreed to plead guilty in a deal to avoid the death penalty.
In exchange, prosecutors said 53-year-old Ariel Castro would be sentenced to life without parole plus 1,000 years.
A judge accepted the pleas and declared Castro guilty. Sentencing is Aug. 1.
Castro had been charged in a 977-count indictment. He had been scheduled for trial Aug. 5 on allegations that include repeatedly restraining the women and punching and starving one woman until she had a miscarriage. The former school bus driver also was charged with hundreds of counts of kidnapping and rape, plus assault and other counts.
Ariel Castro should be put into a wood chipper, feet first. :argh: :fuelfire:

I swear to God, I do NOT understand why the prosecution didn't seek the death penalty. That would've meant a lengthier trial since Castro would not have been able to plead guilty, but that animal needs to be PUT DOWN.
The needle would be too easy, though. Drawing and quartering (which includes emasculation) would be more appropriate.
