Wow, 3 Kidnapped Women Found 10 Years After Being Kidnapped

This will be big news for the few weeks.
From the Cleveland Plain Dealer: Long-missing Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus and Michelle Knight have been found alive.
Berry called police Monday afternoon and frantically told a dispatcher that she was alive and free after being kidnapped 10 years ago and held captive in a house on Seymour Avenue on the city's West Side. DeJesus was with her.
A third woman, Michelle Knight, who has been missing since 2002, was also found at the house.
"We've confirmed it's them," a detective said. "They are alive and safe."
Berry, now 27, DeJesus, 23, and Knight, 32, were taken to MetroHealth Medical Center. The FBI and police will interview the women when they are discharged, the detective said.
Phyillis Marino, spokeswoman for MetroHealth, said three women will not be making a statement until 9:30 p.m.
Police arrested the owner of the house, Ariel Castro, 52, who had lived in the house since 1992. Records show he was arrested for domestic  violence in 1993, but a grand jury declined to indict him.
Neighbors on Seymour said a man was arrested and three women came out of the home.
Berry disappeared at about 7:40 p.m. April 21, 2003, a day before her 17th birthday. She was last seen leaving her job at a Burger King at West 110th Street and Lorain Avenue.
Cleveland Mayor Frank Jackson released a statement this evening expressing gratitude that the three women were found alive.
"We have many unanswered questions regarding this case and the investigation will be ongoing," Jackson wrote.

Yeah, there are going to be a lot of questions asked and questions that need to be answered, like why they never escaped?
