Three Ohio women abducted seperately about a decade ago, were found alive on Monday at a home in Cleveland near where they were last seen. The US police were alerted to the whereabouts of the women by a frantic emergency call from one of the victims, Amanda Berry, who was freed from the house by a neighbour by the name Charles Ramsey, who said he heard screaming and came to her assistance.
Amanda Berry was last seen about 10 years ago leaving her job at a fast food restaurant to go home on the day before her 17th birthday. The other two women found with Ms Berry were identified by authorities as Gina DeJesus, 23, who disappeared in 2004 at age 14, and Michelle Knight who was reported to have been 20 when she vanished more than a decade ago.
Three brothers Ariel Castro, Pedro and Onil, have been arrested as suspects in connection with these kidnaps.
After they were rescued, all three women including a six year old child Amanda had in captivity were taken to a local hospital,where it is confirmed they were all ''safe'' and '' appear to be in fair condition. This said, the emotional and psychological healing for these ones have barely just began.
