3 Missing Women Found in Cleveland Home

<p>CNN reported that neighbors reported a naked woman walking around the back yard.

</p>

<p>Also, wondering why the media is showing photos of Berry and DeJesus but none of Michelle Knight?</p>

<p>What I heard was that because she was older, people assumed Michelle had run away so her case didn’t get as much publicity. They may not have old photos of her.</p>

<p>Oh. My. God.

<p>I’m betting there are more girls somewhere. And bodies. And where are the babies?</p>

<p>The neighbor they interviewed was great! I’m somewhat surprised they didn’t edit it for political correctness:</p>

<p>“I knew something was wrong when a pretty little white girl ran into a black man’s arms.”</p>

<p>Knight was 20 or 21 when she went missing—too old to be considered a “runaway.” Apparently, she had a child and had recently lost custody of that child. She was upset about it. So even her family wasn’t sure she hadn’t just taken off.</p>

<p>And, I too thought the “real charmer” remark was sarcastic.</p>

<p>According to reports from local Cleveland media, Michelle Knight’s mother does not have pictures of her daughter at this time. The mother moved to Florida years ago. She’s getting some skepticism for not having photos, leading some to comment that mother and daughter were estranged at the time of the disappearance. What’s interesting to me is that it seems like the Cleveland Police virtually ignored this particular missing persons case, reportedly speculating that Michelle Knight was distraught over a difficult child custody battle, had mental issues and simply gave up on her life. The Cleveland police may some serious explaining to do.</p>

<p>Sorry! I should have said, “a real character”. </p>

<p>Has it been confirmed that there were multiple babies born to the women? </p>

<p>Michelle Knight has a child or children from before the kidnapping?</p>

<p>I think the man who saved them is a saint today, he could have thought “I’m not going to be involved”. Someone said once they heard a scream but thought it was just someone playing. He was very honest and I don’t think he was not being “PC”, he was just being very honest about his feelings.
The next few weeks will be very hard on them and slowly things will come out, but they will never really have a normal life.Ramsey’s response will always be heroic.
As a Mom, these things make me feel ill.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>I had that same sad thought when I heard. :(</p>

<p>Perhaps they will get a lot of therapy to help them deal with a new life and to work through all the various emotions they feel about their experience. I hope so.</p>

<p>Both the police dispatcher’s response and the police response in 2011 (they didn’t see anything, so they left) are quite disturbing.</p>

<p>I just read of a case in Sacramento where a woman’s boyfriend assaulted her so violently that he broke her back - rendering her quadriplegic. Someone call 911 and said a woman had been hurt and needed help. The police showed up (40 minutes after the call!), knocked on the door, got no response . . . and left. She was simply abandoned in the apartment, with her assailant terrorizing her, until the next day. </p>

<p>On TV cop shows, they’re quick to break down doors if they believe someone is in imminent danger of harm. In real life, not so much. :(</p>

<p>I have an acquaintance whose daughter was raped and strangled in her apartment in Philadelphia. A neighbor heard a scream and called 911. The police came, knocked, heard nothing and left. At the time they came, she was still alive, but was being held by her rapist. After they left, he killed her.</p>

<p>Her parents successfully sued the Philadelphia police department for not breaking down the door or somehow getting inside.</p>

<p>Freaky coincidence - the suspect’s son wrote about one of the girls for a local Cleveland paper in 2004. </p>

<p>I can understand how awful it is for someone to be assaulted so seriously and have the police do nothing.</p>

<p>On the other hand, it’s so difficult for the police. They constantly get calls from people acting out a grudge and tying to get someone in trouble. If it’s the victim themselves who calls, they would most likely break the door down if there’s no answer. But when a neighbor (or possibly an ex-boyfriend?) calls, the police can’t just go around breaking people’s doors in. How do they decide what’s real and what’s frivolous?</p>

<p>Awful stories.</p>

<p>It seems that everyone who knew the suspect is shocked. Has it been confirmed that the two brothers were involved?</p>

<p>It gives me the creeps that this man was a school bus driver. The neighbor said that he was fired recently because he kept driving the bus to his house at lunchtime. </p>

<p>I wonder whether they will find other girls/women. If so, I hope they are alive.</p>

<p>NYMomof2, apparently there is already a story about a 4th woman who disappeared one night.</p>

<p>There’s a definitely deep circle of hell reserved for those who make prank and/or frivolous emergency phone calls.</p>

<p>it saddens me to think these women could have been rescued 3 years ago. There was another neighbor who called after seeing a woman walking naked in the backyard, and the guy yelling at her to get inside. Same house; why didn’t they do something?</p>

<p>Reading these other stories makes me so sad. Seems to be a theme.</p>

<p>when my daughter was born, my older daughter, she was two, somehow dialed 911. police came and would not leave until I let them search the house for hostages. I understood. Someone could have been holding another child in a room. I was glad for it.</p>

<p>I literally feel sick today, and I think it is because of this story. To have a 17 year old daughter, who, of course, gets around town on her own, and to hear about what happened to these young women, is just, well, sickening.</p>
