‘I’m Amanda Berry. I’ve been kidnapped and I’ve been missing for 10 years — and I’m free now’
CLEVELAND — The voice of the long-missing woman was frantic and breathless, choking back tears. “Help me. I’m Amanda Berry,” she told a 911 dispatcher. “I’ve been kidnapped and I’ve been missing for 10 years and I’m, I’m here, I’m free now.”
Those words led police to a house near downtown Cleveland where Berry and two other women who went missing a decade ago were found on Monday, elating family members and friends who’d longed to see them again.
Authorities later arrested three brothers. They released no names and gave no information about them or what charges they might face.
