So happy for these girls now free and safe, God bless them and Charles Ramsey.
Amanda Berry is now known as a hero after escaping from where she has been held for ten years, rescuing her daughter and two other women from the same home.
I heard of Amanda’s story, she went missing when she was 16 years old in 2003 while on her way home from Burger King where she worked. She was never seen or heard from again. Until now. It is awful what happened to these girls, but i am glad they are safe now.
Gina DeJesus went missing when she was 14, a year later while walking home from school.
Michelle Knight vanished first in 2002, when she was 20 years old. She was considered a runaway and her case received less media attention than the other women.
Neighbor Charles Ramsey heard cries for help coming from Ariel Castro’s house just before 6 p.m., and when he went to investigate, he helped kick open the door of the home to get the women out.
Berry, police said, “broke out of the lower part of screen door” to freedom with her daughter. Frantically, she called 911 using the neighbor’s phone. “I’ve been kidnapped, and I’ve been missing for 10 years,” Berry told a 911 operator. “And I’m here. I’m free now.”
She asked police to hurry before Castro returned.
Both Gina and Michelle were also rescued and Castro is in custody.
To think of all they have been through, is unimaginable. Amanda Berry’s mother died without knowing her daughter was alive. That is so sad. May the girls find comfort and love in the ones around them. Lets all say prayers for their healing. I pray for all those that are missing, in danger, hurt, in pain. Pray for all the victims, the families. Pray that we soon see a world with less evil and more love and more people treasuring human life, caring about people in general.
Amen.
