I'm just shaking. I can't find anything on the third woman, Michelle Knight. She's 32 now. Fox 8 Cleveland reported that Amanda has a child. I was just crying watching the news coming in.

 

[Ms.Heather]

Wow, what wonderful news. I remember reading her thread a long time ago. So glad she was found alive.

So sad i think Amanda Berry's mom died in 2006; I am so glad they got out and that guy has been caught!

This is AMAZING news. Not just one missing person, but THREE. Prayers to them and their families and I hope they are all really ok. We never get news like this, who wants to have a party?

brings SO MUCH hope to other family members with missing persons!

Um.. really weird....read the comments section under the article posted above. One poster linked an article, written in 2004 about DeJesus' disappearance.....author is Ariel Castro....which is the same name as the owner of the house the girls were found in.

Hmm. It works when I click it. How can I fix that? I am not a savvy tech person

I'm in awe over here! I live in Ohio, and while I was too young at the time these women went missing to fully understand what that meant, I always wondered what happened to them!

In Cleveland and followed this case closely. Just floored they've been found. Wondering about the third girl.

I think it was just overloaded. Great find! Here is the copy in case it happens again:

Gina DeJesus’ disappearance has changed her neighborhood
by Ariel Castro

(Plain Press, June 2004) Since April 2, 2004 , the day 14-year-old Gina DeJesus was last seen on her way home from Wilbur Wright Middle School , neighborhood residents have been taken by an overwhelming need for caution. Parents are more strictly enforcing curfews, encouraging their children to walk in groups, or driving them to and from school when they had previously walked alone.

“You can tell the difference,” DeJesus’ mother, Nancy Ruiz said. “People are watching out for each other’s kids. It’s a shame that a tragedy had to happen for me to really know my neighbors. Bless their hearts, they’ve been great.”

On Cleveland ’s west side, it is difficult to go any length of time without seeing Gina’s picture on telephone poles, in windows, or on cars along the busy streets.

“People are really looking out for my daughter,” Ruiz said.

I would be willing to bet the site crashed, as that link has been posted in comments under many articles IMO

Looks like a 3rd girl Michelle Knight was found too. I have no idea if she had a thread here somewhere...
