I cannot imagine the cruel heartless necessary to deprive these 3 young woman of so many years of their lives. Amanda Berry's mother died 3 years after she was taken into captivity, how do you get that back?

An absolutely horrendous tale. Some light relief from one of the rescuers:

Hard to believe eh ??

Those poor girls, as much as they have been through and the damage that bastard has caused them.....family must be so relieved.

The auto tune is already available.............

Poshy

That is so funny...loved how he jumped at the Police Siren and looked ready to be 'on his toes '...force of habit maybe ??

Trixie_b

There are loads of good bits, but I liked Eating ribs and listening to salsa music... and I like the thumbs up at the end....

Interesting follow up to the tale with one of the 'world's leading psychics' getting a good shoeing for telling the parents of one of the captives that their daughter was dead.
"One of the world's most recognizable self-proclaimed psychics was wrong yet again about the fate of a missing child, and her followers on social media are taking her to task."

Great when these kind of cases have happy endings, but it does make you wonder how many more of them there are that don’t, and that we never hear about.

Poshy

"Missing People, the charity that helps both the disappeared and those left behind, told us that 250,000 missing persons reports each year – more than 30,000 higher than any previous total – is "probably an underestimate"; others put the total nearer 275,000. This, the equivalent of the entire population of Plymouth being spirited away, means that, across the country, one person goes missing every two minutes.

The vast majority are swiftly found, or return of their own volition, but many don't. Some disappear for decades, and sources, including some inside the police, say the number of people in Britain who have been missing from family, friends and usual haunts for more than a year is at least 16,000 and could be as many as 20,000. "

Loads of unidentified bodies in uk which I find bizarre.

it happens everywhere look at Timmy the missing sailor here it would appear he has vanished into thin air. (or buried)

Or in a container.

God is getting a lot of thanks for this in the US so I think this is fitting

Millsyisland

Exactly Shiva - these god squad people seem to have forgotten about the last 10 years of hell these girls have gone through and it's all now only thanks to god that they're free. Where's this god been for the last 10 years then??
