[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fMbe-mV2V9I"]Amanda Berry 9-1-1 Call - Missing Since 2003, Found Alive 5.6.2013 - YouTube[/ame]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.

A June 2004 story that appeared in a West Side neighborhood newspaper was written by someone named Ariel Castro and described the community's anxiety since the disappearance of DeJesus and Berry.
The author interviewed DeJesus' mother, Nancy Ruiz, and a group of parents waiting for their children to be released from Wilbur Wright Middle School. They spoke of the need for greater security and the fear that had settled upon the neighborhood.
"For seven weeks, Gina's family has been organizing searches, holding prayer vigils, posting fliers and calling press conferences," Castro wrote. "Despite the many tips and rumors that have been circulating in the neighborhood, there has been no sign of her.
One thing is for certain, however. Almost everyone feels a connection with the family, and Gina?s disappearance has the whole area talking."
It is unclear whether the author is the suspect.
