Michelle Knight: First Picture

Before Michelle was taken into captivity, she reportedly lost custody of her baby son, who was taken by child services. Authorities initially believed that Michelle had fled following the sad ordeal.

“Certain people said she didn’t want nothing to do with me but still in my heart I thought no, because I knew my Michelle. They figured she just left because of the baby and everything. [Police] told me if she breaks the law or they spot her, they’ll let me know – but nothing happened. I don’t want her to think that I forgot about her. Hopefully whatever happened between us, if something did – I hope it heals because I really want to take her back to Florida with me,” Michelle’s mother, Barbara Knight, told the Today show on May 8.

Michelle & Barbara Will Reunite

Barbara left her home in Naples, Florida on May 7 to reunite with her daughter in Cleveland, Ohio.

Upon reuniting, Barbara will introduce Michelle to her half-sister, who she’s never met, 10-year-old Katie.
