Three women who were kidnapped in Cleveland and locked up for over nine years are speaking out on their harrowing captivity, seven years after their miraculous escape.

For years kidnapper Ariel Castro held three women – Amanda Berry, 33, Gina DeJesus, 29, and Michelle Knight, 38, - captive in his home after abducting them between 2002 and 2004.

After years of abuse where they were chained, starved, tortured, and raped they were finally able to escape on May 6, 2013 when Berry managed to leave the home and called 911 from a neighbor’s phone.

'He was always there watching every move, it was like he knew everything, every move that we did,' DeJesus said in a sit-down interview with ABC’s 2020 that will air Friday.

'When I was telling [first responders] my name, they looked like they’d seen a ghost or something. Like their face completely dropped,' DeJesus said on the moment police realized they finally found the three women who had been missing for years.

That entire episode is nightmarish. I won’t be reading the story. I haven’t forgotten anything yet.
I believe the actual house has since been demolished.
That was the best decision. Remove the house and reminders of all the evil that went on there for so long.

The auto-tuned version of the interview of the rescuer, Charles Ramsey.

What is nightmarish to think is there are probably others held in basements right now.

Especially at islamic residences, since they believe in sex slavery.

Dead is good. Drawn and quartered before he was deaded would have been better.

A real testament to the strength of these women.

Sort of like the old question of what happens to the milk carton children?

Islamics will chain your daughter to the staircase and put a bag over her head. It is commonly accepted among older men.
They love White girls.

Democrats are bringing Islamics into America. You may wish to not lose sight of your daughter at the park.

Or have you been living under a rock.

From the article:

“On August 1, 2013 Castro was sentenced to life plus 1,000 years in prison after he pleaded guilty to 937 counts of kidnapping and rape
He killed himself in prison a month later.”

He did not escape justice though. He will face God’s wrath forever.
