Amanda Berry was kidnapped in 2003. This evil predator beat his wife in 2005. I wonder how much she knew and why she didn’t speak up over the past 8 years. Even if you’re afraid of someone, as she was of him, you have to protect children regardless of the cost. I also wonder whether the pervert will live long enough to stand trial. I think it’s better if he lives long enough for that, in case some of his victims want to see legal justice before the real kind catches up with him, but not much longer.
What a excellent observation. The wife may have known. She is dead now so we will not know anything from her.
“But in 1996, she escaped to a woman’s shelter with the couple’s children, Angie, Emily, Anthony and Rosie. In January 1997, she was awarded full custody of the children.”
Sounds like she was not living with him for years before the 2005 court papers were filed.
