Amazing

Some stories render even Rico speechless, and Michael Schwirtz has an article in The New York Times about one of them:

Three young women from Cleveland who disappeared about a decade ago, and who friends and relatives feared were gone forever, were found and appeared to be physically unharmed, the authorities said. The police did not offer any immediate information about how the women were found, but they said in a statement that three men, all in their fifties, had been arrested in connection with the episode.
The police identified the women as Amanda Berry and Gina DeJesus were in their teens when they disappeared, and Michelle Knight was twenty when she vanished. All were found in a home in a residential neighborhood not far from where they reportedly disappeared.
In a recording of a 911 call released by the authorities to local news media, Berry tells a dispatcher that she had been kidnapped and pleads for the police to come before a man who is holding her captive returns: “I’m Amanda Berry, I’ve been on the news for the last ten years,” she said.
A neighbor, Charles Ramsey, told local television reporters that a woman’s screams drew him to a house on his block. “This girl is kicking the door and screaming,” he said. “I said: ‘Can I help? What’s going on?’ And she said: ‘I’ve been kidnapped, and I’ve been in this house a long time. And I want to leave right now.’”
Ramsey said he and his neighbors broke through the door and Berry came out with a young child, though it was not immediately clear if it was her child. He said the police then went in and brought out the other two women.
Berry, who is now 27, was last seen leaving her job at a Burger King in Cleveland in April of 2003. Almost exactly a year later, Dejesus, now 23, disappeared as she was walking home from school. The police said that Knight vanished around 2000, but was assumed to have run away.
Family members and friends of the women reacted to the news with a mixture of shock and elation. “I’m so thankful, God is good,” Kayla Rogers, a childhood friend of DeJesus, told The Cleveland Plain Dealer. “I’ve been praying. Never forgot about her, ever.”
Television images showed neighbors lining the streets, applauding as emergency vehicles whisked the women away.

Rico says there will be much more about this story, but televised executions would do for the perps...
