Amanda Berry & Two Missing Girls Found
Amanda, who vanished on April 21, 2003, was being held captive with Gina, missing since April 2, 2004, and Michelle, 32, last seen in 2002 at age 21.
The owner of the house, Ariel Castro, 52, who had lived in the house at the house since 1992, was arrested, according to Radar Online. His two brothers, Onil, 50, and Pedro, 54, were also arrested.
“I heard screaming, I’m eating my McDonalds, I come outside, I see this girl going nuts trying to get outside,” Charles Ramsey, the neighbor, told local News Net 5. “I go on the porch and she says, ‘Help me get out. I’ve been here a long time.’ I figure it was domestic violence dispute. So I opened the door and we couldn’t get in that way. We kicked the bottom. She comes out with a little girl and says, ‘Call 911, my name is Amanda Berry.’ When she told me, it didn’t register until I called 911…I thought this girl was dead.”
