After 10 years and 15 days of captivity, a young woman managed to make good her escape and call 911 to breathlessly report, "Help me, I am Amanda Berry, I've been kidnapped, and I've been missing for 10 years. And I'm here, I'm free now."

Her 911 call was made possible by a neighbor, who was sitting down to eat his McDonalds meal on Monday evening when he heard cries from a neighborhood home that some neighbors thought long vacant.

That man, Charles Ramsey, a dishwasher at a local restaurant in Cleveland, went to investigate the commotion. He found a woman desparately trying to get out of the house. Ramsey kicked out the bottom of the door, and Amanda Berry crawled through clad in pajamas and old sandals. Another of the neighborhood residents, Anna Tejeda, handed Berry a phone and she called 911.

Berry had been missing since April 21, 2003. She was 16 at the time of her disappearance. Berry was abducted while walking home from her job at Burger King.

Responding to Berry’s 911 call police converged on the closed up home to find three more females imprisoned in the house at 6 pm. Police identified the three as 23-year-old Georgina DeJesus, 32-year-old Michelle Knight, and a six-year-old girl that is believed to be Berry’s daughter.

Knight had vanished on August 22, 2002, she was reported missing the next day. DeJesus disappeared on April 2, 2004 at the age of 14. It is believed that the three were tied up and used as sex slaves in a decade-long ordeal.

Three suspects were arrested in the case. The first, a former school bus driver named Ariel Castro, aged 52, was the owner of the house. He had been seen at the home that was closed up and believed vacant. But some neighbors saw A. Castro there on a daily basis.

Also arrested in the case are his brothers, Onil Castro, age 50, and Pedro Castro, age 54.

FBI investigators combed the scene in downtown Cleveland until 5 am this morning as they put together the on-going investigation.

Although police in Cleveland say that they visited the house twice in the last 15 years. Once when the owner of the house reported a fight in the street in 2000 and another time in 2004 when welfare officials alerted police that A. Castro had left a child on the school bus unattended. On that occasion, no one answered the door when police arrived to question A. Castro. He was later located and no criminal intent was determined.

However neighbors say that they have called police to the house on at least two occasions. One neighbor, who lived three doors away, reported that her daughter had seen a naked woman crawling around in the house’s back yard, but the police did not take the call seriously.

On another occasion, another neighbor heard pounding on the walls in the house and called police. That neighbor said that police came, knocked on the front door, walked to the side of the house then left.

The neighbors also report seeing A. Castro walking a young girl in the park on occasion. Castro told them she was the daughter of his girlfriend.

All the women were briefly hospitalized for evaluations, but have since been released.
