3 women who went missing separately a decade ago found at Cleveland home; 3 people arrested

CLEVELAND – Cleveland’s police chief says three people have been arrested after three women missing for years were found in a home and one said she’d been kidnapped.

A 52-year-old man from the home was among those arrested. Police have released no names and given no details about the others arrested or what charges they might face.

Police Chief Michael McGrath says a 6-year-old also was in the home.

Dozens of police officers and sheriff’s deputies remained at the scene late Monday awaiting a warrant to search the building.

Authorities say the women have been taken to a hospital to reunite with relatives and seem to be in good health. Michelle Knight had been missing since 2002, Amanda Berry since 2003 and Gina DeJesus since 2004.

Berry and DeJesus disappeared when they were teenagers.
