>> first, we're live from cleveland ohio with many in developments here. three women who were missing for about a decade are finally free. you know that after allegedly being held captive in a home.

there is breaking news tonight on the condition of at least one of the women held for nearly a decade. also, a phone call, amanda berry made today to her grandmother. you'll hear that in a moment. before we get to that, here is the latest information that we have. amanda berry, gina dejesus and michelle knight were found alive here after berry screamed for help and got the attention of neighbors who helped her escape. you're going to hear from one of those neighbors tonight. now, three suspects, former school bus driver ariel castro and his two brothers were arrested. some neighbors say they're shocked by what happened. others say they called police in recent years. and in one instance, seeing a naked woman in the backyard. the f.b.i. is searching the house, as i said, right now, for evidence. police chief says it will probably be a few more days until the investigation inside the house is complete. it is an incredibly emotional

time, obviously, for the families and friends of these three women. for the first time in three years, amanda berry was able to call her grandmother in tennessee. i want to play you a little bit of that call from wjhl. >> hello? >> amanda. >> yes, grandma. >> how are you? >> i'm fine. >> i'm glad to have you back. >> i thought you were gone. >> nope, i'm here. >> thank you so much. i love you so much. >> the little girl is your baby? >> yes, she is my daughter. born on christmas. >> we've got to get together soon. >> i have a little girl and she wants to meet you. >> i love you, honey. >> i love you, too. >> i've thought about you all this time. i never forgot you. >> amanda berry on the phone with her grandmother.

>> i did, anderson, i had a chance to talk to myra dejesus. she's 9 years older than gina. pretty much all day today at the hospital. and she told me that all things considered, gina is doing very well. she said she is in "good spirits." that is very good news to hear from her older sister. interestingly, she said that even though gina is now a young woman, she's 23 years old, she still seems and looks like the young girl that they remember her as, that 14-year-old girl before she disappeared. i asked mira, did you talk with your sister or your family about what gina has gone through? she said they did not even talk about it. they are no cufocusing only hav her sister back. the parents focusing on having the daughter back. so right now, it is just about welcoming her back.

not talking about what she went through, at least not yet. >> i spent a lot of time talking with ricarda dejesus. and i asked her, did you know ariel castro. she says yes, i did know him a long time ago. they were not close friends, but he said that he has not talked to or seen ariel castro in the last ten years. so the entire span of time that his sister has been missing, ander sob. >> just incredible. earlier, i spoke with woio reporter dan derose about what he's learned. >> we're also hearing that for

many of the first years that they were in the home, there were chains being used, one room in particular was found with chains hanging from the ceiling. they were bound and gagged several times throughout the course of being held in that home. we're also hearing from a source that the man who was holding them there, ariel castro would play this little dangerous game. that he would tell the women he was about to leave the home. and then he would wait. and if one of them tried to open that door, he would go in and attack them. that was one of the ways he was able to keep them there. we are also hearing from pretty well-placed sources that numerous times throughout this ten-year period that some of the women became pregnant, that they would be beaten, forcibly hit in the stomach to force a miscarriage. one of the reasons we're hearing that, they brought out cadaver dogs to search the backyard of that home. >> so, dan, i just want the be clear, this is based on you and

your teams local law enforcement sources? >> that's correct. we have several law enforcement sources that have been in the community for years. very well connected and we're getting little pieces of invest out from them. obviously, the interviews are being very slow. trying not to traumatize them any further than they've already been through. day let them spend last night with their family. we know they were released from the hospital this morning, but they have not yet gone to their homes in cleveland. we're not sure where they are, possibly a hotel, maybe a hospital, maybe a psychological research-type center. but at this point, no signs of them at their homes. >> we are told by local law enforcement spokesperson, that some interviews were conducted today. now, my exclusive interview with charles ramsey, one of the

neighbors who noticed amanda berry was screaming for help. a lot of people calming him a hero. >> so you moved in about a year ago. >> yeah. >> you'd seen ariel castro around, right? >> when i moved here. he was my neighbor. >> what was he like? >> cool. he wasn't no freak of nature. he was like me and you. he talked about the same thing you talk blt. about. you know, regular stuff, bro. >> so yesterday, wapd? >> you gonna love this. i'm going to tell it all. around 3:00, i was on my porch. and the mailman put his mail in my mail. i looked at it and said i've got to give ariel his mail when he comes home. before he went this the house,i said ariel, here go your mail. he said they can't get it right.

i said nope, damn postal service. that's it. he left. i jumped on my bike. went to mcdonalds. came back home. i'm in my house. but i'm in the living room and i'm right by the front door because i'm looking out the front door. and, man, this girl screamed like a car had hit her kid, which made me, you know, you stop eating, what was that? so when i got up, i saw my neighbor across the street. he run across the street. i'm thinking where are you going? ain't nobody next door, i saw ariel leave. i heard that girl scream and saw him running across the street. i went outside and wondered what he was doing. amanda say i'm stuck in here, help get me out. he either don't no english that well or panicked. so here i come with my half eaten big mac. and i look and i say what's up?

and she like i've been trapped in here. he won't let me out. it's me and my baby. i said you ain't got to talk to more, i'm trying to get the door open and i can't. so i did what i had to do and kicked the bottom of the door and she crawled out of it. she grabbed her baby and flew me off. all right. fine. i got some girl and her kid. >> what did she hook like? what was she wearing? >> a jump suit. she had a white tank top on. rings on, mascara. she was well groomed. she didn't look like she was kidnapped. that's what i'm saying. she was like i'm in here trapped. i'm like, well, you don't look kidnapped. maybe you've got a poi friend problem. but i'm thinking, i know who lives here. he's 50 something. you can't be the boyfriend. maybe you're dating his son. >> and you had never seen her before. >> bro, that man, listen.

never. that wochl didn't come out the house. the only kids that came out the house were two little girls. they played in the backyard. he had two dogs. and where i live, naturally, is next door. my bedroom was upstairs. same thing every day. the neighborhood knows them as grandchildren. no big deal. you got the grand kids over all the time. i thought. >> amanda berry then, what? asked to call 9-1-1? >> um-hmm. and i took her into my house. now, i'm nervous as hell. so i'm fumbling with my phone. so i finally did it right. she can't wait. so what i do is tell her go a i cross the street and use their phone. now we're both calling 9-1-1.

she deals with a moron. and me, too. >> what do you mean about a moron? i heard the 9-1-1 call from her. the woman was hang up and wait for the police. >> really. how about stay on and i'll talk to you until they get there. >> right. >> comie ining up, more of my exclusive interview with charles ramsey. he tells me what it was like to live in a neighborhood for a year without knowing women were held captive. he doesn't believe he should get the reward money. that it should go to the women. that's next. woman: everyone in the nicu -- all the nurses wanted to watch him when he was there 118 days. everything that you thought was important to you changes in light of having a child

>> amanda knox, her fight for freedom. the fight of her life. the unanswered questions begins right now. hello, everyone. tontd, we ask amanda knox the questions that go to the heart of why people doubt her so vehemently. she will reveal new information about her actions, about the investigation and what has happened to her since returning home after four years in an italian prison. to be sure, you will hear her strongest arguments to date for why she is not a killer. the debate has been reignited by knox's new book, "waiting to be heard." but be italy preparing to retry knox, her story is far from over. nor is it over from her family who sacrificed so much or more importantly, for the family of murder victim, meredith kircher. amanda knox will face the tough questions from us in just a moment.

but, first, let's remember where this story begins. with two bright-eyed foreign exchange students anxious to start an adventure in italy. >> it started with a murder. british exchange student is found dead in her bedroom. details emerge. kircher found half naked, her bra clasp cut. police hone in on a suspect. amanda knox, 20 years olt. an exchange student from america and kircher's roommate. the media frenzy surrounding the case is almost immediate. >> amanda knox was back in court over the weekend. >> she saw drops of blood in the

sink and on a bath mat. but she couldn't find meredith. but she went back to her boyfriends instead of calling police. the two are interrogated for days. knox says she's unaware she's a suspect. she then admits to what she later calls a coerced statement, placing herself at the scene that night. in july, 2008, knox, her boyfriend and a third man are charged with kircher's murder. forensic scientists find her dna all over the crime scene. prosecutors believe knox were come police sit in the murder.

they rely heavily on her tabloid image as foxy knoxy. they are found guilty. she is sentenced to a total of 26 years in prison. two years later, a new trial and a different outcome. the dna linking them not even considered evidence. >> the first thing she wants to do is just lie in a green field. >> free to fly back to america, but leaving so many wondering what really happened that night. >> thank you very much for taking the opportunity. >> oh, thank you for having me. >> you laid out your story. you have told your truth. there is reaction, there are doubts. you know this.

how do you explain it? >> it's hard. it's hard to prove that you're innocent. that you didn't do something. and i think that there is yet to remain an openness to understanding my experience and i hope that this me going through all of these interviews will help to at least encourage a reconsideration. >> you'reer in vousz. nervous. >> yeah. >> you're worried. >> yeah, this is affecting my life. i thought this would be over by now. i really did. >> it's not over. there's a lot of doubts. are you ready to deal with what's out there? >> i have to be. i've had to be this entire time.

i haven't ever really been ready for any of it. i mean, this is all so much bigger than me. they're coming from the fact that the prosecution has not given a satisfactory answer to what's happened and i'm being the one who's being held responsible for that. sk >> why are you? why not some man? why you? why do you think the prosecution is targeting you? >> well, that's a really good question. i think it comes back to their decision to target me from the very beginning. i think from the very beginning, they wanted to think that what happened to meredith was an

inside job. >> hmm. >> i definite ly acted a little differently than others. but what i think is important to understand about that and -- >> give it to me. what's your answer? what's inside? don't hold back. this is your chance. people aren't holding back when they criticize your story. when they say it's not believable. that you're not believable. if there's a time to come with it, now is the time. >> well, i find it incredible that despite an absolute lack of evidence that connects me to this murder i'm still being judged based upon unrealistic expectations about how a young woman would react to a horrible

situation. no one knows how they would react to a horrible situation until it happens to them. people were screaming in italian and i was trying to figure out what was happening. so in the immediacy, i was shocked. but i am the type of person wo who to this day, people suggest i'm cold and unfeeling. first of all, it's untrue. i'm emotional to this day about what happened. but i'm also the type of bern wh person when there is pressure on me, to react, to feel in front of people, i freeze. i would much rather -- i much rather suppress my emotion than have it be determined as insincere and effected. >> as a result, you seem flat, you seem cold, you seem indifferent. not to be insulting, but those

are the observations. >> the observations, i don't think, are fair to be quite honest, because i did react to what happened. and i continue to react. and i am emotional. i -- the -- i've cried. i've been angry. i've been scared. and these were all things that i've shown, that have come out of me. i mean, as i was going through all of this, when i cried, it was bad. when i didn't cry, it was bad. when i smiled it was bad. when i didn't smile, it was bad. i have been paralyzed by this kind of scrutiny. and i feel like it's unfair. >> you have a behavior where you pause before you answer. and it looks like you're trying to figure out how to be. or maybe it's just that you're afraid of what will come out of you. what is that pause?

>> it's taken me a long time to be able to come out of my own head. that was the only place that i was ever safe. that was the only place that i could nurture myself. through whatives going through. >> when i ask you a question and you pause before you answer, and i'm sure in other interviews, a lot of that gets edited out. but maybe it's the most important point. what's the pause? >> i'm constantly afraid of being misconstrued. i'm not the best speaker. i write. this is the way that i think and i'm able to understand what it is i actually want to say. i write it down. i'm not the type of person twwh

is very good at finding the right words. and i know from experience that every word counts and that i'm being judged upon every single word that i say. so i have to pause. i have to pause because i know that any -- any word -- can be construed and have the longest-lasting effect on my life. >> coming up, amanda knox takes on the lurid sexual allegations that help get her convicted. >> did you have any type of experimental sexual activities? >> i've never taken part in an orgy. ever. >> plus, caught in a trap. her struggle to prove her innocence. >> there was nothing that i could do that was right. i was scared. i just completely clammed up. >> and trying to move on and rifing wirif i living with the horrors she experienced. >> i sit in my hotel room and

people like to read headlines to you that call you a vixen, foxy knoxy, whatever it is. okay. the dancing, the real proposition here is prosecutors believe this happened because you were a sexual deviant, right? right? forget the headlines. that's what this is about. at its core. this is their theory. that you went in there for some kind of freaky sexual activity that went wrong and your roommate wound up dying. >> fair? >> that's what they say. >> that's what it is. that's the truth of the proposition. is there truth to that proposition? were you into deviant sex? incensensitive question, but, h we've got to get to what it is. were you into that kind of experimentation? >> no. >> did meredith suspect you were into these type of things and created a barrier? >> no.

>> and therefore you resented her? >> no. >> because she was judging you. none of that? >> no, absolutely not. and there's no evidence of that. >> that's the theory. knox is into some freaky, sexual things. she tried to pull in meredith who was a stayed, buttoned up brit and it went wrong. that's they're theory. that was in the discussion of the judges, yes? >> absolutely. and i was there in the courtroom when they were calling me things like violent and whore and deviant and it's all untrue! where are they getting it from? did you have any type of experimental activities there that you're embarrassed to talk about? >> no. in the book, i talk about all of my sexual experiences and i haven't needed to talk about the details of that because they aren't deviant. i was not strapping on leather and bearing a whip. i've never done that.

>> no rope activity sns. >> i've never taken part in an orgy, ever. >> and your roommates wouldn't have told prosecutors this? could they have gotten this idea from somewhere else? maybe you're not telling the truth? maybe you are telling the truth and they heard it from somewhere else. >> no one has ever claimed that i was taking part in deviant sexual activity. none of my roommates, none of my friends, none of the people who knew me there. that is simply coming out of the prosecution. no witnesses have ever come out saying anything like that. and the reason why they continued to perpetuate this idea is because they had this idea about me. it would legitimize their accusations against me. i would be the type of person, a def i can deviant to do this. this is them projecting their own idea about the kind of person that would be capable of doing what happened to meredith on me.

and they have nothing. they have nothing to sustain it. they didn't get it from me. and they didn't get it from witnesses. it literally came from the prosecution. and this is what i've been up against this entire time. this fact that the prosecution was projecting onto what happened, their own theories about young women and women who are -- i was sexually active. i was not sexually deviant. and because i was sexually active, that turned in, for them, to sexual dooef yen si. >> did you ever tell meredith something that she may have told people that you were uncomfortable with? >> no. >> the theory is you went there to do something deviant. . she didn't want to. it went wrong. she got killed. you agree that is the theory, right? >> yes.

that's what i'm up against. this notion of femme fatale that is completely unrealistic. >> so if that is not true, what is true? what kind of person are you? who are you? >> i mean, i really don't feel different from other people. i think that -- i mean, i wrote my book to show what kind of person i am. and i painstakingly sought out to be honest. to not hide. even my parents were telling me, are you sure you really want to talk about this? i'm putting myself out there because i'm tired of being judged on wrong information. i am being judged and there's nothing i can do about that. but i am so tired of having to confront wrong information. this trying to prove what i'm not. and trying to prove what i didn't do.

it's absurd. and i'm -- i'm having to continue doing this to this day. and these are fantasies. these are notions. honestly, like i was discussing this with my boyfriend yesterday. just trying to imagine. where is this idea of me coming from. and i mean -- that's the right question. >> there have been police officerings police officers who said i wreaked of sex all of the time. i would just come into the police office wreaking of sex and just constantly thinking what was on their mind when they looked at me was sex. and i just do not understand it, except for the fact that i am a young woman. >> there are a lot of young women. why do you think people have this impression of you? >> i'm not, for instance, meredith's friends. >> that's right. it's you. it's a big question. >> why me?

>> big question. the prosecution bases most of its theory on this in terms of motive. we'll get to the other parts. motive, you're a freak. you went in there to do something freak kwi. it went wrong and it cost her her life. period. >> yeah. and i was no different than the other women in my house. i wasn't. >> so that means, in your mind, you spent four years of your life in jail because of a perverted prosecutor. >> yeah, that's what i think. >> how do you handle that. that's got to make you angry. >> i am angry. >> that's what you believe. that's got to be tough to live with. >> i mean, it truly is incredible to have to come to terms with that. i any that's one of the reasons why it took me so long to understand whact was happening o me. i couldn't believe it. i couldn't believe the kinds of

accusations that were being thrust upon me. and the kind of expla nnations that the prosecution was putting towards me. i felt like for months and months and months, i just did not -- there was nothing i could do to defend myself against it. it was a bombardment of falsehood and fant si. >> coming up, what happened the night meredith kircher died. and what was behind that strange behavior. >> they all say the same thing. they thought you were responding weird. strange. >> yeah. >> why? >> plus, the trauma behind bars. >> i'm not attacking you. everyone, please be my witness.

i am not attacking you. and suggests words you can0 flick on to the screen. blackberry z10 with flick typing. built to keep you moving. see it in action at blackberry.com/z10.
