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.

I guess the clueless dispatcher didn’t know if a cop car was available because most of them were parked around various doughnut shops. Shame on the Cleveland Police Dept. if they claim one shed of credit for this rescue after TEN YEARS of doing absolutely nothing.
And yes, Mr. Ramsey, the rescuer, should get the $25,000 reward for finding Amanda Berry.
It’s a false flag operation. Done by Obama himself.
Good insight, thanks. Is the area of town one where there is not cooperation with law enforcement (”stitches for snitches”)?
At first, maybe. But after the years go by, people give up hope and don't try to get away. Their brains get reprogrammed with fear and helplessness. I'm glad that a light of courage flickered in Amanda and she was able to start the process of escaping.
Jaycee Dugard, I think.
If things were right in this country these creeps would be lined up in front of the house and executed today. Following that the house should be burned and their worthless corpses be thrown into the fire. When burned the debris should be cleared leaving a bare vacant lot for all time. NO flowers, no trees, no grass, just a stark bare vacant lot with a small sign with the names of the criminals and their crime and that they were executed by citizens who sought justice for monstrous animal crimes against innocent humans.
What investigation is needed? What more do we really need to know?
Ouch.
It is a mixed working class neighborhood just South of Downtown Cleveland. It is NOT gentrified like Ohio City or Tremont, but it is not a terrible neighborhood. It is mostly Latino, primarily Puerto Rican. It is no more anti-police than any other working class neighborhood..
This is an inner city neighborhood. the houses are literally on top of each other. They are NOT row houses, but in many instances are less than five feet apart. Much of the parking in this area is street parking or of an alley.
Cleveland is one of the most densely populated cities in the country, even after losing 40% of it’s population to the suburbs in the past fifty years. Even in West Park where I live and we have no boarded up or vacant homes, it is tight. I have neighbors houses 10’ on either side of my home and have close to fifty thousand people in my neighborhood that encompasses only a few square miles. The entire City is less than 75 Square Miles. That includes the massive industrial areas of the near East and West sides and the entire ‘Working Flats’ area of the Cuyahoga River Valley.
That is what makes this story even more incredible. How the Heck did this guy hide three women and one child in a 100+ year old home of no more than 1200 SQ’?
He was out and about. He was KNOWN to the neighbors, He had a job. He went to neighborhood events and cook outs. It is entirely strange and unbelievable!
These are the type of crimes for which the death penalty should be expanded. Murder and treason not enough.
Me too.
The Lincoln analogy is a stretch but I get your point. I still think the 911 operator could have handled it better.
The sick $%&$$ need to have their &#!$$ cut off. The law against cruel and unusual punishment needs to be suspended for them. Monsters. Absolute monsters.
channel surfing tonight, I just saw Anderson Cooper’s exclusive interview eith Mr. Ramsey. Never in my life did I see a complete polar opposite face to face interview... it was Looter Guy meets Albino Bubble Boy.
