Listen to Amanda Berry's frantic 9-1-1 call to police

[Casino67]

Cleveland.com:

 

 

"I'm here. I'm free now," a frantic Amanda Berry told a 9-1-1 telephone operator moments after she escaped 10 years of captivity on Cleveland's West Side.

 

The Cleveland law Department released recordings this evening of calls to 9-1-1 about the discovery of Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus and Michelle Knight, all of whom disappeared a decade or more ago.

Does it sound as though the dispatcher is trying to get her off the line? "Tell it to the police officer."

Isn't this a wild story? Haven't listened to the 911 tape yet but how bizarre.

Ariel Castro, Arrested in Cleveland Kidnappings, Wrote an Article About the Abductions

 

Ariel Castro is the 52-year-old man who was arrested today after allegedly kidnapping and then holding Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus and Michelle Knight captive in his basement in Cleveland for a decade. In a weird twist, it looks like Castro was actually a reporter who wrote an article in the Plain Press about the DeJesus case back in 2004.

Cops arrest 3 brothers after 3 Ohio women missing for a decade found alive

 

Authorities say three brothers have been arrested after three women who vanished about a decade ago in separate cases were found alive Monday in a residential area just south of downtown Cleveland, just a few miles from where they disappeared.

 

Police said a 52-year-old man was among those arrested, but released no names and gave no details about the others arrested or what charges they might face. They described one of the suspects as a Hispanic male but said they planned to provide more information at a news conference Tuesday.

 

Cheering crowds gathered Monday night on the street near the home where police said Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus and Michelle Knight were found earlier in the day. A 6-year-old also was found in the home, according to authorities.

This must give hope to all of the families with missing children. Too bad it can't happen more often.

[Rheo]

Good grief, that 911 call is hideous. I hope the operator is fired....or at least given some training. My goodness.

[Valin]

Well at least she got a 9-11 operator

 

D.C. woman put on hold after calling 911

 

WASHINGTON - A D.C. woman says she was put on hold after calling 911 when an intruder entered her Northwest home, NBC 4 reports.

 

Kathleen Burke says she initially heard a recorded hold message when she called, right after fighting off the intruder and chasing him out of the house.

 

It's not clear what happened with the 911 call. Burke tells NBC 4 that she contacted D.C. Council Chairman Phil Mendelson and Ward 4 Councilmember Muriel Bowser to follow up on the incident.

In Alabama a bus driver lays down his life to prevent a kidnaping, whereas in Ohio the bus driver apparently does the kidnaping.

[Rheo]

A baby, whom police said was Berry's daughter, was also discovered.

 

Police arrested three brothers in connection with the women's alleged kidnappings Ariel Castro, 52, Pedro Castro, 54, and Onil Castro, 50.

 

The house where the women were held belongs to Ariel Castro, a retired school bus driver. Police said they had twice been called to the house, once in 2000 and again in 2004, after the women had vanished.

 

Cops said Castro was questioned in 2004 about leaving a child on a school bus after completing his route and taking a lunch break. The incident was declared an accident and he was not charged with any crime.

And then it took 20-30 minutes for the boys in blue to show up:

“We’re looking into it to determine if the proper protocols were followed,” Lt. Steve Varn said yesterday evening.

 

Yesterday, Dodson said he was deciding where to buy a baseball bat in case someone else was able to slip into his home. He believes one of the two tenants who live in apartments of his building on the 300 block of South Broad Street accidentally left the front door ajar, which allowed a drunken and belligerent man access to the vestibule of the apartment unit Dodson shares with his wife and 17-month-old son. The man gained access about 10 p.m., he said.

 

Dodson said his wife dialed 911 and told police her husband was scuffling with an intruder.

“I’m going hand to hand with this guy and she’s calling 911, and they said to call the non-emergency number, and to call back if it got any worse,” Dodson said.

 

When Dodson’s wife called the non-emergency number, the dispatcher said there were no police units available to send. In the meantime Dodson continued to confront the man outside his home, who he said was irrational and violent.

I'm sure details will start trickling out over the next 48 hours. Do not be surprised if there are a few twists and turns in this story. As hinted at here:

 

Michelle Knight's grandmother, Deborah Knight, said she had not yet heard from police but was waiting for some kind of verification that one of the women is really her granddaughter. Although Michelle Knight was reported missing more than a decade ago, family members concluded that she probably left on her own because she was angry that her son was removed from her custody, the grandmother said. She said her daughter believed she had last seen Michelle Knight several years ago in a van with an older man at a shopping plaza on West 117th Street.No sense jumping to conclusions, except if the women weren't held against their will, how come no one in the neighborhood ever saw them? Or even knew they were there?

 

The important thing is that their friends and families now know they are safe.

From 2003 article regarding Amanda Berry's mom.

 

Early on, there was talk that a boyfriend was involved. The FBI ruled him out. Then, after her story appeared on TV, a man called Miller to say that Amanda was now "his wife, they're married, and she wants to stay with him. I don't know if it was real, or if it was just some sicko trying to freak me out, and it did." The man was never found.

Well lets hope they advised them of their rights before taking action.

AP: Ariel Castro was “friends” with victim Gina DeJesus’ Father, helped with search

 

That right there is one sick bastard who deserves to die.

 

And when they gathered for a candlelight vigil to remember two girls who vanished years ago, Castro was there too, comforting the mother of one of the missing, a neighbor said.

Neighbors and friends were stunned by the arrest of Castro and his two brothers after a 911 call led police to his house, where authorities say three women missing for about a decade were held captive.

 

Castro and his brothers, ages 50 to 54, were in custody Tuesday but have not been formally charged.

 

Ariel Castro was friends with the father of Gina DeJesus, one of the missing women, and helped search for her after she disappeared, said Khalid Samad, a friend of the family. He also performed music at a fundraiser held in her honor, Samad said.

I, personally, would like to pick those men apart, bit by little bit, until they finally died.

 

I wouldn't want any of them to even look at me, much less touch me!! What a horror.

I was thinking that they could be quarantined away from society.....where they would help nurture the ecosystem in some arcane & violent way........far from prying eyes....never to be heard from again......but, they'll have their days in court instead....followed by 3 hots & a cot for life....paid by the taxpayer.

Cleveland "Hero" Was A Repeat Domestic Abuser

 

MAY 8--The Cleveland man credited with helping free female captives from a house of horrors is a convicted felon whose rap sheet includes three separate domestic violence convictions that resulted in prison terms, court records show.

 

Charles Ramsey, whose 911 call and subsequent TV interviews have made him a microcelebrity, was once a repeat spousal abuser whose marriage ended in divorce following a 2003 felony conviction for battering his wife

[Rheo]

Mr. Castro was charged with domestic abuse in 1993, but charges were dismissed, according to Cleveland Municipal Court records.

 

In 2005, Mr. Castro was accused by the mother of his children, Grimilda Figueroa, of domestic abuse, including breaking her nose twice, knocking out a tooth, head injuries and threatening to kill her and the children, in a filing in Cuyahoga County Domestic Relations Court seeking a restraining order. The filing also alleges that Mr. Castro would frequently abduct his children and keep the mother away, even though she had full custody with no visitation for Mr. Castro.

 

A temporary restraining order was granted that August, but the matter was dismissed without prejudice in December after Ms. Figueroa's attorney failed to appear at a hearing, according to court records.

 

Ms. DeJesus was best friends with Arlene Castro, daughter of Ariel Castro, said Amber Brown, a 21-year-old neighbor who knew both girls. The night Gina disappeared, "Arlene was supposed to come to her house so they could go skating," Ms. Brown said. "But Arlene's mom wouldn't let her. So the girls went their separate ways after school. We never saw her again."
