[applause] the neighborhood erupted in joy on word of the dramatic rescue.

the women's disappearances at separate times had shaken the community to its core. they have good news today. we have more of the dramatic 911 call from amanda berry. >> using the phone. >> stay there with those neighbors. until they get there. >> okay. >> talk to the police when they get there. >> hello? >> yeah. talk to the police when they get there. we're going to send them as soon as we get a car open. >> i need them now before he gets back. >> we're sending them, o being? who is the guy you're, who is the guy who went out? >> his name is ariel castro. >> how old is he? >> he is like 52. >> all right. and -- >> i'm amanda berry. i've been on the news for the last 10 years. >> i got that, dear. and you say, what was his >> air -- ariel castro. >> that is late last night.

look at their emotional health moving forward, bill. bill: garrett, what do we know about the three men police arrested? >> reporter: yeah. the three men, three brothers. age 50, 52, 54. they have not officially released their names this morning. here in the next few minutes we're expecting a that press conference. we'll learn a whole lot more about them. the home behind me was one, was the home where the girls were kept. neighbors said he seemed like a regular guy. bill? bill: garrett, thank you. and garrett, just so we know, the home right behind you, is where they were held? >> reporter:. it was the home, you can see the police tape behind me. about two homes down, a white home. it is blocked off. they moved us a little bit further up the street. they say it is still an active crime scene. after 10 years with women being held there, you can imagine they have a lot of evidence they will be processing. bill: thank you. garrett tenny on scene there in cleveland ohio. martha, wow!.

martha: unbelievable story. we're hearing from the hero in all of this, the neighbor who heard amanda berry's cries for help. he helped her to call 911. his name is charles ramsey. he explains how amandaer aboutry finally got free. >> i see this girl and she is just going nuts on the door. i'm like, what is your problem? are you stuck? just open the door. she says i can't, he got it locked. i looked how he has it. only enough to reach out and grab the mail and close the door. we, naturally going to pry it open. that didn't work. so we had to kick open the bottom. luckily that door was aluminum. it was cheap. she clipped out with her daughter. she went to my "house." we called 911. when the police get here, she says there are three more girls up there. the and then that's what gina --, that's what gina dejesus and they brought two more girls out. >> you saw amanda berry? >> ain't that something?

martha: ain't that something. oh, my gosh. his store is incredible. he had barbecues at the home with the owner. never suspected that anything like this was going on. bill: story brings to mind a lot of other cases we have covered frankly over the years, high-profile kidnappings. and, various stories, that you know, they have dealt with hostage situations involving children over the years. june of 1991, 11-year-old jaycee dugard, kid 23457d, missing for eight teen years. finally freed in 2009. after giving birth to two of her abductor's children. sean hornbeck was found four years later along with another boy who also had been kidnapped. there is elizabeth smart, who was taken from her bedroom in atta at the age of 14. she was found nine months later, about 20 miles from her home in salt lake city utah. martha: unbelievable stories, all of these.

we are very glad to be joined this morning by a man who knows this story all too well, ed smart. as bill said, his daughter liz became a household name after being kidnapped from her home in salt lake city. she was 14 years old held in captivity for nine months. ed smart rejoins us. he has been here before. welcome back. >> thank you. martha: this has to bring it all back for you, when you hear this story this morning? >> it is just so wonderful to think that three young women are back with their families where they are loved and, supported and, what a miracle. it is just, it's exciting and i just, god bless them. it is just a miracle. >> oh. we're waiting for this news conference to really get underway, and we'll have to go there when it does. what does it make you think about all the children who

disappear, whose families want to continue to have hope? and also who hear as these girls parents heard, from the police, she probably ran away? >> well i think that's a commonality out there. a lot of children are considered to be runaways and that is something that we can't accept. if they're runaways you need to understand why that would be --. martha: i'm sorry, ed. i have to jump in because the mayor from cleveland is speaking. >> gina dejesus, amanda berry. we have with us special agent in charge, steve anthony. he will be talking later. we have also searched, been searching our records for public safety calls to for services at 2207 saymore as well as complaints regarding the house or occupants of the house. since last night we have learned the following. building and housing does

not have any records of permits or violations at that address. our records show the fire department and emergency medical services have not been called to that address. at this time our records show mcclain police responded twice to that address. once in 2000 and another time in in 2004. and director flask which provide details. as we move forward we'll provide updates as they become available. keeping in mind as was stated this is an open investigation. we're thankful miss berry, miss dejesus and miss knight are all right and they're found and alive and with offered our support to the families and the three ladies as they move down the road to recovery.

i do want to say again. again that this was a traumatic experience for them. since we did not experience it as a community, but for them. it is a traumatic experience and we need to give them room in this. i will introduce you, safety director. >> good morning. last night just prior to 6:00 p.m. cleveland police communications center received two calls. one from a neighbor to the house on the saymore avenue. and another call from amanda berry, one. missing women. an incident was created in our communications center at 5:52 and 33 seconds a police car was disprogram patched at 4:52 and 40 seconds. first-responders arrived on the scene at just under two

minutes later at 5:54 and 7 seconds. by 5:58 the responding officers identified gina dejesus and amanda berry being located in the home. one minute later they also recovered safely michelle knight. all three of the missing women and a 6-year-old child belonging to one of the missing women was conveyed to medical health center for providing care. immediately after learning the incident we began an immediate search of our databases so determine what information that we had regarding this specific address. we have no nothing articulated. we looked at all the emergency medical calls for service and fire responses to the address on saymore avenue since 2006, as far back as our database exists. we found there were no calls for service. we again checked our building and housing department to see whether or not there were any building code violations or complaints made against that

address and there were no complaints or violations identified. we also went back and looked at police calls for service. while we did learn in march of 2000, ariel castro, one of the individuals that is in custody currently, reported to the police that there was a fight in the street. there is no record of any arrests having been made as a result of that police response. and in january of 2004, as a result of an investigation that was initiated by children and family services, cleveland police went to the address, knocked on the door. were unsuccessful in connection with making any contact with anyone inside that home. that incident appears to have been related to his employment, mr. castro's employment as school bus driver. he either intentionally or inadvertently left a child on a bus when he returned to the depot. as a result that came to our attention from the children and family services there

may have been a crime. an investigation that was conducted by the cleveland division of police indicated there was no criminal intent on mr. castro's action. again, we went, we're going to continue to look at all the databases not only from calls being made from that address or about that address but any calls that have been made or could have been made by any neighborhood residents alleging illegal activity or inappropriate activity within that home. and at this point i can confirm that we have no indications that any of the neighbors bystanders, witnesses or anyone else has ever called regarding any information regarding activity that occurred at that house on saymore avenue. i turn this oaf to chief of police michael mcgrath, who will provide additional information. >> thanks, director. good morning, everyone. last night the city of cleveland, northeast ohioscue oe

knight, amanda berry, and gina dejesus. as a law enforcement person and i know everybody within the division of police and all my law partners believe the same, i was overseeing the disappearance of june johnson back in the low 2,000's. a 12-year-old female disappeared and three weeks later we found her body tragically. to find these three girls recovered well is really just makes the police department, just gives us a boost, it really, really does. amanda, who had been missing since april 21st, 2003, was identified last evening after fleeing from her captor's home and amazingly, gina dejesus and michelle knight were in the same "house" awe live and well with a small child. all the women, all the young

ladies have been missing about a decade. gina dejesus was last seen june 2nd, 2004. michelle knight was missing since august 22nd, 2002. the cleveland division of police and our law enforcement partners which includes the fbi, cuyahoga county sheriff's office, u.s. marshal's office remain committed to these investigations over the years. through our involvement with the northern ohio violent fugitive task force, led by the cleveland office of the fbi, we have continued to investigate any and all leads in these cases. these leads came in over the years and were investigated time and again, possible suspects were interviewed, search warrants were executed. thankfully, and i mean thankfully, due to amanda's brave actions, these three women are alive today. three men have been arrested in this case and they are

ariel castro, 52 years old. his brother pedro, 54 years old. and another brother o'neill, 50 years old. the original task force will now continue to follow up the investigation relative to the recovery of and processing of the scene, interviewing and the investigation. next steps. there is 10 years of logistical information that has to be sorted through. numerous interviews have to be completed. the fbi evidence recovery team is processing the scene. they worked until 5:00 a.m. this morning. they will regroup later this morning. and i anticipate that it will take a few days to completely process the scene there on seymour. most importantly though, the victims physical and emotional well-being are the main concern and have to be

addressed. the fbi is providing assistance and special agent steve anthony will provide additional information relative to the debriefing of the victims. mr. anthony? >> thank you, chief. good mornings everyone. as chief said i'm steve anthony, special agent in charge of the cleveland office for the fbi. for amanda's family, for gina's family, for michelle's family prayers have finally been answered. the nightmare is over. these three young ladies have provided us with the ultimate deaf next of survival and perseverance. the healing can now begin. every evening year after year, as you well know family members and law enforcement kept the faith that one day they might see their daughters, their sisters, their nieces again. monday evening that happened. the fbi violent crime task

force as the chief and the mayor mentioned, in particular the men and women of the cleveland police department, pursued every tip and have stood with the families each step of the way and the families of these three young ladies never gave up hope and neither did law enforcement. as you can imagine words can't describe the emotions being felt by all. yes, law enforcement professionals do cry. we rejoice with those families in the homecoming of amanda, gina and michelle where i'm sure they will be showered with much love and many, many hugs. but it has been said while we celebrate today, we and our law enforcement partners continue to work shoulder to shoulder with the cleveland police department to answer the many questions, the many questions, that investigators have. rest assured the fbi will bring every resource to bear to assist our partners in case to bring the full weight of justice behind those responsible for this horrific, horrific case.

and has been said, i know the public and you all have many questions and so do we. until we have the answers to those questions, based on facts and evidence, we won't be able to speculate as to the how and why. i just want to reiterate, in this case as in others all of us standing up here rely on the public's assistance to resolve these horrific cases. if you have any information, please contact cleveland's division of the fbi at 16-522-1400. that is again, 216 522-1400. it can't be emphasized enough. this is an ongoing investigation. and in the coming days and weeks investigators will be putting in countless hours to track the events of the last several years. as the chief mentioned, the,

the three of course, gina, amanda, michelle, much of the effort that we have, that we'll be doing over the next several days will be focusing on them. how could we in law enforcement help speed the healing and recovery process? and, treat them with the dignity and the respect that they deserve. and we're going to be providing not just the three but their familis. again, with, comfort, with advice, with information, and in the coming days to again help in that process. and part of that, we have a special team of child forensic examiners that will be arriving this morning to help in that process. in addition to numerous victim witness specialists similar to those sent to events such as in boston. thank you very much. i will now turn it back over to samuel.

>> thank you. at this time we'll steak a few questions. -- questions. however prior to i would like to reiterate this is an open and ongoing investigation and we want to be sensitive to not only the investigation but the family members and the victims. and i ask that when you ask your question, you identify your telephone civil -- yourself and identify the media outlet you're with. >> is there any evidence that there is any larger operation or does this focus right here in cleveland? >> deputy chief. >> right now, it's not we are aware of any type of national implications. that's why we're working so closely with the fbi. we actually briefed last night on the investigative end of it and we reminded the investigators not to forget about that. it possibly could be

something that is outside of cleveland. but as of right now we have no indication that it's bigger than our neighborhood here. >> deputy chief? >> [inaudible]. were these women and girls held as sex slaves over these years? >> tom, that hasn't been determined also. i tell you we're very, very careful with interview process last night. so that will be an ongoing process today when we have our expert come in fort fbi. they're going to do a little more in depth interviews. i'm sure over, as time goes by there will be more information that would be provided from those young ladies as, as to exactly what took place. >> [inaudible]. >> pardon me? >> [inaudible]. >> well, the one brother was and it was a report that the director mentioned before inadvertently leaving a young man on a bus. the investigation was

conducted and there was no criminal evidence found. >> if your child was left on a bus, -- >> your name? >> jerry with cnn. if your child left on a bus wouldn't you have -- [inaudible] >> that questioning was done -- [inaudible] why wasn't this guy questioned or aggressively about this and will you change your protocol looking for missing people? >> number one, he was interviewed extensively relative to this complaint that we had. he was not a suspect in any other complaint. this was a, he was a bus driver who inadvertently, so he said left the kid on a bus, went in for a lunch break, and came back and then found the young man. number two, our policies are solid. our policies have been revamped over the last few years. we're constantly looking at those policies in a way to

improve them. number three, i can tell you, as being part of this division for the last 28 years and being very, very involved in this over the last 10 years, that the amount of effort, the amount of leads, the amount of work hours and dedication that went into this, i have never seen it before over the last 10 years. every single lead was followed, no matter how small. as a lot of you know in this room, we dug up a couple backyards. we recanvased neighborhoods. we had vigils. we participated in national missing children's day along with the fbi. so, our goal was to get them back safely. the real hero here is amanda. i mean, she is the real hero. she is the one that got this rolling. we're just, we're following her lead. without her, none of us would be here today. >> we'll have the chief comment on the policy. >> [inaudible]. did he own any other

properties or are you going to search those properties? what was the shape of this house? was there any -- [inaudible] >> that is, there are other properties that we're interested in, yes, that is true. we focused on the house on seymour last night until the early hours of the morning and we'll go back. i have not entered the house. that is an active crime scene. the only people that enter ited the house are the evidence recovery team of the fbi. before any of that evidence is processed, we haven't seen photos. we haven't anything with them. that is their protocols, that is their crime scene. they are going to handle it. >> we're going down here in the front. because if you raise your hand for questions we'll get to you and -- [inaudible] >> please state your name. >> [inaudible]. -- only one child in the house and [inaudible]

>> yes. yes. there was, that child in the house, is that what you're asking about the younger? yes, we believe that is amanda's daughter, yes. >> [inaudible]. >> yes. >> what about the father? >> we're, you want to answer that or --? >> no. >> yeah, that's ongoing. we have to do some --. >> [inaudible]. can you share with us a little bit how the women were held in the house? whether they were locked in a room or how they would held captive for so long? >> well, i really, i can't get into that because that is, you know, they're going to have to tell us that. obviously, there was a long period of time where nobody saw them. so, but we have to wait until we interview them and hopefully they're going, they're going to tell us exactly what went on in there. they were the only ones there along with the suspects. so that is a very difficult question to answer. >> -- abc. have you spoken to the mother of the three castro

brothers? are you interested in speaking with her at all. >> oh, yes. >> what is her involvement. >> we spoke with her. last night i can tell you a little investigative update, we canvased numerous parts of the lower west side of the city. we were out on a couple streets. we have gotten ahold of all the family members and we have interviewed all of them. what those discussions were, i'm not at liberty to release that right now. we are going to have an investigative briefing internally later today to find out some of the results. but yeah, we have talked to all family, friends and we're going to continue to do that. >> [inaudible]. where is this child was born and if this child was ever out of that -- >> you know, bill, we don't. amanda's the key to that. like i said, you can only imagine the scene last night at the hospital with the family and the friends. it was just, it was chaotic and we really didn't divulge, we didn't get into deep,

deep line of questioning. our concern, our first and foremost concern last night was their physical and mental well-being. that is going to come out. but as of today i couldn't tell you. >> do you know if beyond, you heard from the neighbor here. there was a lock on the door. the neighbor helped them get out. do you know if there was other types, beyond just door locks, the other ways the women were kept inside the house without giving too much detail? >> no, i don't. amanda broke out the bottom of the door to get out. obviously the door was secured but how it was -- >> still investigating whether there were calls to neighbors in that home. you were called there twice but you don't know for a fact that the neighbor ever called to report them, am i roo it? >> marti flask, public safety. we have queried, looked at all the calls for service. we also checked this morning with our county partners for the wireless system.

we do not very any indications at all any incoming calls for services, allegations, tips or information was received from any other source or any other neighbors. i can confirm that. however we will continue to check all our databases to confirm that as we move forward. but our initial review indicates clearly that nothing was provided to the city of cleveland from any of the neighbors that are living on that street or anywhere else regarding activities at that home. >> right here. >> -- yahoo!. wondering about the conditions of the three women and emotional states and physical states. also michelle knight, who she is and her story? >> i can tell you from what i saw, the physical condition, i'm not a medical person, i know metro briefed last night but, you know they seemed to be in fairly good health. i mean look at them, there is no outward signs. they needed a good meal but that is something that i would have to refer that to

metro as far as their medical condition. and what was the second part? >> michelle knight, what is her story? >> well, i mean, her story, she hasn't been seen in over, over 11 years and that, that story is going to come out. you know, she spoke with us a little bit last night. no, out of respect for her, what these young girls went through, and if you would have saw them last night, you would have nothing but compassion and love in your heart for them. so as far as investigations, you know, we believe we have got three suspects. we're going to charge those suspects. we believe we have the people responsible for that. so right now, you know, we want to let them spend some time with their family and take this process, very, very slow and respectful to their families and to the young girl's needs. >> [inaudible]. >> well, that will be something that is up to the prosecutor. what we do, our policy here

in the city of cleveland is we gather the facts. we are mandated to charge within 36 hours of an arrest which we will. we are mandated to see a prosecutor. they will review the facts and it will be up to prosecutor to charge. then i would anticipate that this case be heard by a cuyahoga county grand jury. when those charges come out of the grand jury you will know exactly what is going on. >> [inaudible]. what was their involvement in the abduction? >> right now, we haven't interviewed them. and like i said i keep referring book to our three young ladies. they're the ones that are going to lead us down this, you know, down that path as exactly what happened and how they ended up with these guys and how they end up in that house. he is, the three are under arrest. they will be afforded their

constitutional rights but we are going to attempt to talk to them. >> [inaudible]. >> absolutely. amanda is the one. she came out of that house. that started it all, yep. >> [inaudible]. when was the last time you had leads and working in addition -- [inaudible] >> can you repeat that question real quick? >> [inaudible]. were you working the a case of abductions? >> we were working them as abductions and we were receiving tips and leads consistently. some periods more than others throughout this 10, 12-year period. with regarding gina and amanda. i can't quantify exactly.

we can get that for you. maybe the latest series of tips. but we review them regularly with the family and with our partners in the cleveland police. and as the chief and deputy chief tomlin mentioned we dug up two locations believing that we had evidence based on information developed that they were in a particular location. so any investigation like this it is going to ebb and flow. as far as how many leads you're getting any given time. not a year went by, not a three-monday period of time went by we didn't have some lead generated by the public and the family. >> [inaudibleñ. >> that's correct. absolutely. none of those tips. >> [inaudible]. >> i'm going to let deputy chief -- >> his, yes, the one driver's license was that address on seymour. so we assume that he lived there. >> which one was that?

>> ariel? >> ariel, what about the other two? >> the other two had different addresses on the lower west side. >> [inaudible]. school bus driver -- [inaudible] >> no. we don't have any evidence of that. that that is how it was but like i said, you know, that is up to the girls to tell us. we stil don't know. you know, i mean that is one of the great unknowns right now. we don't, we anticipate getting that information from the ladies, not from the suspects. >> can you tell us more about michelle's disappearance. most of us know about gina today jesus and amanda berry. we don't know much about michelle's disappearance. can you tell us more? >> i can't tell you the exact date but michelle is a young lady that was reported missing over 11 years ago, and, you know, she was the focus of very few tips and

leads that we got. most of the media and most of the community awareness was for the young ladies. she was 20 years old when she left, but most of it was geared toward the two young, the two young girls but -- >> taken from the same area that amanda and gina were taken? >> i will try and provide a little additional information on michelle knight. she was last seen august 22nd of 2002. she was 20 at the time of her disappearance. she is now age 32. her last address here in the city of cleveland was on walton avenue. the last time she was scene in 2002 was at west 106 lorraine avenue. a missing person report was made the following day by a family member. so she has been missing consistently and consecutively since 2002. >> the other girl was not living at the house, are they married? what was their marital status? >> we don't know.

two more questions and then wrap it up. >> any of the girls say they knew the decastro brothers?. >> still at maer of investigation. >> that is still a matter of investigation. still under investigation. >> where were michelle and gina found in the house after amanda got out? >> they came out, actually came out of the house once the police approached and got into the, got into the residence but amanda was the one that came out onto the street. amanda was the one that generated the 9/11 call. a zone car responded along with a couple of detectives. they came out of the house. they didn't have to go. >> the house looking for them. >> they were not restrained. no. they came out of the house on their own. >> [inaudible]. >> no, you're going -- the house is a crime scene. it will be processed. she came out of the lower part of the front door. it is a screen door. and there's a you know, a lower part of it. and that's what she broke

out and crawled out of the door. >> so are the girls in the same place now? >> yes, they are. >> and, this is 10 years -- [inaudible] at his commencement yesterday president obama said we're not all strangers. what does i say that girls are missing 10 years? not about the police but the general -- [inaudible] can you address that? >> yeah. >> i mean, i'm a lifelong city resident myself and it just, reiterates what, you know, from city hall on down through the division of police, that it is a partnership between the community and, and law enforcement. during the course of this investigation we're going to, we're going to look and we're going to see if there was that something maybe the community did miss or there was something. it's going to be part of an ongoing review and an educational process but it's

quite a challenge. you know, we balance the right for everybody's privacy to what law enforcement's doing. so, you know, bill, i don't have a, i don't have a pat answer for that but i just know that, you know, i know i can count on my law enforcement partners and friends and we need to count on our community. i mean that is so, so, important. we can't stress that enough. that comes all the way down, you know, from our mayor down to our chief about how important members of our community is. >> were the brothers arrested all together? >> we'll close out with the chief of police mike mcgrath saying a couple of words. i want to remind you that the division and the fbi will make up dates, either a press release or press conference, depending upon the information. chief mcgrath. >> thanks, sam. first of all, thanks for being here and most important, and i stressed it in my few comments, are the victims. the sensitivity to the victims. their emotional well-being.

and that is what we're going to address first, after we get that stablized, then we'll move forward with the debriefing process. so we need your cooperation on some of your questions because some of the questions may impact their emotions, the way, their state of mind currently right now. so you will have to be patient with us as we proceed over the next coupl days, next couple weeks, possibly a month with this investigation. thank you. >> thank you. bill: so this is the new information, confirmed three are under arrest. not a single neighbor reported a problem at that home over a period of 10 years. yet police were called to the house twice for completely different matters. 10 years now of evidence to go through and transmissions and communications back and forth between police and perhaps neighbors. and an absolute mountain of he have to sort through at the moment.

with regard to amanda, gina and michelle, they seem to be in pretty good condition. that is the word from police there. physical and emotional condition the priority of the victims right now and there are other properties that police are interested in. could that be the properties of the other two brothers now under arrest? this is something we'll sort through, but amanda, gina and michelle, we're just right now scratching the surface of this story. and the details and for what they went through could be an absolute nightmare for all of them. said to be okay. martha: those brushes with perhaps discovery of the child services person who came to that house because as bus driver he had left a child on the bus and went in to have lunch. there were moments where this could have unfolded. we saw the same thing in the jaycee dugard case where there were brushes with officials and law enforcement that did not end up scratching the surface deep enough. it is an unbelievable story. we want to bring in mark

fuhrman of course who is a former l.a.p.d. homicide detective and fox news contributor. mark, this is an incredible story, isn't it? >> it's, it's shocking and incredible. and you know what's fascinating is listening to the all the police officials and public safety and the mayor. the whole city's taken back by this but it sounds like they were pretty much on top of these cases. that they had a lot of concern and they were following up leads and when you look at the three suspects, we are not hearing they had any kind of police record. there was no radar that they would have intersected a police investigation because they're a registered sex offender or parolee or on probation. so it's kind of interesting and like you mentioned the dugard case, that man was on parole and parole just failed to actually do their job in any regard in that case, but in this case, the

one thing that is the most disturbing, just on this, on this first blush of this case is, you have three brothers that are in close proximity of age that are involved in conduct that is way beyond anything that, that any of us can understand and just exactly what is the threat that is going through these three brothers and where did they learn their conduct? martha: it's bizarre that the three of them, nobody ever spilled the beans, nobody ever did anything that opened the door looks to be some kind of a bizarre and awful secret life for these three young ladies. that is what, you know, i think, we are having a hard time wrapping our brains around. how could you possibly keep this under wraps for 10 years? sounds like these girls walked out in the end. they were not held in some sort of a basement cavern or, maybe we'll learn that. >> well, you know, martha, when you look at this i mean

we can possibly understand maybe two friends or two brothers being involved in a conspiracy that, you know, that they do keep the secret but when you're talking about three brothers, i mean, to think that they have a genetic mental deficiency that is all aligned with each other and their lives are in agreement in their secret lives, that would be incredible. to me, they're going to investigate this and i think you're going to have somebody that's, a teacher or a mentor that actually taught them that this conduct is okay. martha: mark, stick around, if you would. we'll have more with mark fuhrman in just a few minutes from now. >> you bet. martha: thanks, mark. bill: i'm kidnapped and missing for 10 years and i'm here and free now. we'll play more of that 911 call in a moment. there is a lot of other news frankly to get at. benghazi whistle-blowers

will speak tomorrow. before they do a top lawmaker suggesting someone in former secretary of state hillary clinton's circle was involved in a cover-up. these are big, big charges. also this from boston. martha: no burial for an alleged terrorist. more from boston after this. copd makes it hard to breathe...

the cleveland public school system. mark fuhrman from his home in idaho. police said there are other properties they're interested in, mark. that could mean the women were moved at some point. that could mean the brothers are investigated. that could mean both. what did you take from the comment from a short time ago? >> well, it is interesting, bill, i picked up on that also. i think that, you have two brothers that don't live at that location. i think, the main suspect in this case, his driver's license comes back to that house. i'm wondering if that was perhaps the parents home and really none of the three brothers actually reside there. that they have actual lives somewhere else and perhaps i'm going to be very interested if they actually have families or, this is actually their life. almost like they all kidnapped their choice of wives, secret wives 10 years ago and they all keep them in one location. and you know, great for the

victims. they're alive and in good health and good mental state. they're going to be able to really tell the story of just exactly what took place. so we don't have to worry about the suspects not talking to the police. we're going to have the victims. but i still want to know about these suspects. bill: yeah. what did you think of that press conference on behalf of police? did you see any holes in it or did you, it did you think, when the chief said, listen, we have followed up countless lead time and time again anytime we get them, we track them down. what was your reaction on that, mark? >> well, you know, i heard something else. in all their voices especially the chief, he made everybody know that he is loyal to the city of cleveland and he has been there for 28 years. he lives in the city. and i think he felt a personal connection to what is going down. i don't think he was defensive. you know, certainly they immediately found out, did

we drop the ball here? did anybody get a radio call there? did we have the police, fire department, department of public services, children services, anything there? they outed that right from the beginning and, i think they were very heart-felt that they have done what they could and i think they're looking to find where they possibly made a mistake. bill: mark, thank you. i appreciate your insight. >> thanks. bill: after you've been through stories like these yourself in your time in l.a. this struck me too. march of 2000, ariel castro, 13 years ago called police because there was a fight in the street outside of his house. mark fuhrman. thanks. more to come. here's martha. martha: more to come indeed on that. also this awful story. five women celebrating their friend's wedding were killed in this horrific limousine fire over the weekend. one survivor is says the limo driver could have done

more in the moments after that request accident what makes your family smile? backflips and cartwheels. love, warmth. here, try this. backflips and camm, ok!s. ching! i like the fact that there's lots of different tastes going on. mmmm! breakfast i'm very impressed. this is a great cereal! honey bunches of oats. i hear you crunching.

martha: we're getting some brand new details now on ariel castro, the man who is believed to have taken these three women into this house. there's a look at the house in the background there. what we can now tell you, that house is in foreclosure. back taxes owed on it since 2010. also, we're learning that castro was a cleveland municipal school district bus driver which we had mentioned before until november. so it appears he may be unemployed since november. so you wonder between the house in foreclosure and perhaps losing his job in november was the gig almost up? was he in a position where he was afraid he couldn't keep this whole thing going much longer? we don't know for sure but a lot of thoughts out there and those new facts give us reason to wonder the answer to those. also the stats on this house,

it had 760 square foot basement, four bedrooms in the house. one bathroom, in that house. so we're just learning a little bit more about the space in which these women have spent the last 10 years of their lives. what a, boy, your mind starts to wonder. bill: you heard the police chief say within 36 hours we'll know the charges. that is what they're mandated under law in ohio. amanda berry has been on the news for last 10 years, her words in her own voice on the 911 call. you will hear more in a moment. benghazi, the whistle-blowers at this time tomorrow will be ready to talk. a top lawmaker is suggesting someone in hillary clinton inner circle was involved in a cover-up. that is a serious charge. that lawmaker will be here live to explain. >> they were told to stand down. sean of all the things i've seen that is sickening and depressing and as disgusting anything i've seen. that is not the american way. we had people that were getting killed.

we had people who were will being to risk their lives to go save them, and somebody told them to stand down. all business purchases. so you can capture your receipts, and manage them online with jot, the latest app from ink. so you can spend less time doing paperwork. and more time doing paperwork.

martha: a fox news alert. police in cleveland, we heard from them moments ago. they filled in some of the blanks this morning on this unbelievable story of survival. three women, missing for 10 years, found alive. amanda berry, gina dejesus, and michelle knight. we welcome you this morning to a brand new hour of "america's newsroom." what a story. you just never know what is going to happen overnight and this is just been incredible to watch unfold today. bill: certainly has. i'm bill hemmer along with martha maccallum. coming up this hour, marc klaas is joining us this hour. john walsh is here as well. we'll get their reaction what we heard from police last hour. all three women were released from the hospital earlier today. all said to be in good physical health after being rescued from this home near downtown cleveland.

along with a small girl aged six, as police said now, amanda berry's daughter. three brothers under arrest. charges will be filed within the next 36 hours including charges against this man, age 52, ariel castro. said to be a bus driver in the cleveland public school system. here is the deputy police chief moments ago in downtown cleveland. >> the amount of effort, the amount of leads, the amount of work hours and dedication that went into this, i have never seen it before over the last 10 years. every single lead was followed up, no matter how small. as a lot of you know in this room, we dug up a couple of backyards. we recanvased neighborhoods. we had vigils. we participated in national missing children's day along with the fbi. so our goal was to get them back safely. the real hero here is amanda. martha: joining us now is dr. keith ablow, a psychiatrist and a member of the fox news medical a-team. boy, you know, i heard you

say earlier, this is one of my questions because think about what these girls have been through in the last 24 hours. they were in that house. they have been released. they went to the police. they talked to them a fair amount. went to a hospital. now they're out. they're home. they're on their way home. boy that's a lot of change in a short period of time. >> it is and, you know, we have to think of this reentry phase very much like coming back from war, from being a prisoner of war. and so while everyone is celebrating they ought it keep in mind that these young women are still going to be facing all of the buried emotions that they had to contain, martha, in order to survive those dark days stretching on for a decade. those feelings are still behind very thick walls that they built. and they will emerge now, but unpredictably and often with terrible pain. martha: i was struck by her voice, amanda berry's voice on the 911 tape, doctor, she said i'm amanda berry.

she gave the address. she was very sharp in terms of knowing who she was. and we have seen cases where people are given different names in these situations. where, you know, in some ways forget who they are. she sounded likes she had not at all forgotten who she was? >> absolutely. that is reason for hope. and the fact that these three women are still alive, they can be there potentially for each other. maybe with a therapist present, because there could be lots of feelings between the three of them. martha: yeah. >> but the fact they all survived and can be there for each other is a very hopeful thing as well. martha: what do you think is going on with the three brothers? three women, you heard mark fuhrman a moment ago, who knows, maybe it was sort of select your brides kind of thing and everyone is living in this house and the two brothers have other residences as well. early to say but what's your, what's your thinking on it? >> as a forensic psychiatrist i always start at the beginning of the story. so i would want to know what these adult men, what they

lived through as kids. they have reconstructed an alternate, allegedly home here where nobody has any power and where they're discharging this unlimited power of their own. where did this desire come from? psychologically and for the three of them, where have they been, with whom have they interacted other than these women? are there going to be kids coming forward from all those buses all those years saying they were untoward events? we really don't know. martha: that is something i want to ask you about because we just learned more facts about this man, ariel castro. one he was employed till november as a bus driver. the other his house has been in foreclosure. he hasn't been able to pay all his taxes in 2010. i wonder if those two things may have facilitated them, i don't know how much longer i can keep this going? >> that is very possible. and it may have led one or more of those women to say you know what? this story is about to end very badly, even worse than it has been for us.

we've got to take some moment at some point to risk our lives because our lives are coming to an end. the other question is, what led to his termination or him not working in november? was that just because they were downsizing or was there a complaint against him by a child? all this presumably will come to light. martha: yeah. dr. keith, always good to have you with us. >> all right, martha. thanks. bill: you wonder too how the abductor convinces these young ladies, scares them so much they do not want to make a move to save their own lives or get out of there. i know marc klaas and john alsh have a lot of views on that. we'll talk to them in about 30 minutes t was that 911 call from amanda that brought police racing to the scene. after escaping from inside the house with the help of a neighbor here is that frantic call. >> help me. i'm amanda berry. >> do you need police, fire or ambulance. >> i need police. >> okay. and what is going on there? >> i've been kidnapped and i have been missing for 10 years and i'm here, i'm free

now. >> okay. and what is your address? >> 2207 seymour avenue. >> 2207 seymour? looks like calling from 2210. >> huh. >> looks like your calling from 2210. >> i can't hear you. >> looks like you're calling me from 2210 seymour. >> i'm across the street using this phone. >> stay there with those neighbors and talk to the police when they get there. >> okay. >> okay. talk to the police when they get there. >> okay. hello? >> yes. talk to the police when they get there. >> okay. are they on their way right now. >> we'll send them as soon as we get a car open. >> no, i need them now before he gets back. >> we're sending them. who is the guy, who is the guy who went out? >> his name is ariel castro. >> all right. how old is he? >> he is like 52. >> all right. and -- >> i'm amanda berry. i've been on news for the last 10 years. >> okay, i got that here. i already -- and you say,

what was his name again? >> ariel castro? >> and is he white, black or hispanic. >> hispanic. >> what is he wearing? >> i don't know because he is not here right now. >> when he left what was he wearing? >> i don't know. >> police are on the way. talk to them when they get there. >> i okay. >> i told you they were on the way. talk to them when they get there. all right? >> all right. >> thank you. bill: heard him say amanda is the one. they're the reason why they're alive today. police also say they were there two minutes later and rescued the other two women inside the house along with a child, that police say age six, believed to be amanda's daughter and they also said they walked out of the home. and there were reports that they were tied up by rope or perhaps inside the house or in the basement. none of that has been confirmed. think over the next 24, 36 hours we'll get a lot more detail. martha: there are so many questions, oh is that the first opportunity they had to get away? when you listen to her voice it sure sounds that way.

she sounds as if she has taken this chance, that, you know, fell in front of her and she is grant i can to get, to make sure she does it before he gets back. almost sounds to me there is little girl in the background. sounds like there is another voice that's there with her. i'll be interested to see whether or not she brought the little girl out with her or whether or not she was inside. bill: you hear more from the neighbor. the door was open wide enough to put a hand through it. that was it. martha: and they pushed their way out. emotional reaction from the last person believed to have seen amanda berry before she disappeared. her former coworker was with her until the shift ended at burger king. she says all these years she has never lost hope. >> i was the last person she saw. i felt horrible because i felt it was like my fault. it i could have stopped it she would have been home. she has always been like that. always been a warrior and she fought, she fought to

get out. i knew she was going to be okay. martha: wow! always been a warrior. she recalls the night amanda disappeared, they walked together to the end of a parking lot and amanda continued on her own. no doubt that moment has haunted her all these years. she will be happy to see her friend again. bill: a day before she turned 17. extraordinary ending to this case in cleveland there are challenges ahead. there are big, big challenges for these three women. rick leventhal live in our new york city newsroom. these child abductions they are rare but usually do not end like this, rick. >> reporter: bill, when they are abductions they don't normally end well. most aren't abductions. up to 2,000 children are is reported missing every single day in the u.s. most are runways or custody disputes but some are grabbed by strangers or sexual predators. many of them are killed. there are been many inconsider edible stories survival including jaycee

dugard who was 11 years old when she was kidnapped in south lake tahoe, california. she was missing for 18 years after her kidnapper, phillip garrido, bringing his daughter and two that he fathered to cam 3us pus police in berkeley. garrido is serving 431 year sentence. elizabeth smart, another case, abducted from her home in affluent neighborhood in salt lake city, utah. she was 14. founded two miles away abducted by a drifter and his girlfriend, brian david mitchell. mitchell, that guy there is spending live life in prison. according to national center for missing and exploited children if abductor is determined to kill his captive, it usually happens within three hours, bill. bill: probably explains why some of the ohio members were convinced those girls were gone and dead. >> reporter: because longer kids are missing the odds start creeping up they won't return safely. fortunately with

roughly 00,000 children reported missing every year, only a small fraction classified child abductions by the fbi in a study completed in 2002, 99.8% of the children reported missing were located or returned home alive. the center for missing and exploited children reports there are now more than 87,000 active cases. more than 32,000 are juveniles and more than 15 thousands between 18 and 20 years old. while this particular case wound upended well there are still 87,000 families in america right now with no idea where their son or daughter is. bill: remarkable numbers. rick leventhal, thanks for that in our newsroom here in new york. >> reporter: sure. bill: so heartbreaking looking at that. martha: coming up we have a man who spent three decades helping people to find their missing children successfully in many cases. coming up john walsh joins us with his reaction to today's incredible story. bill: also family and friends are not only oneses who never gave up hope.

amanda berry's sixth grade teacher said she kept praying for a miracle. she is here live today what she remembers about her former student. martha: all eyes will be on washington, d.c. tomorrow morning when benghazi whistle-blowers will testify in front of congress about what they actually believe happened that night that four americans were killed. congressman jason chaffetz who will be at the hearing has been involved in this since the get-go. he is coming up just moments away. >> we had proximity. we had capability. we had four individuals in libya, armed ready to go, dressed about to get into the car to go to the airport to go help their fellow countrymen who were dying and being killed and under attack in benghazi and they were told to stand down.

bill: w to chief and, ohio, now. this is the aunt of gina dehayes sues. she is now speaking. there is a bit of spanish mixed in with english but we

want to drop in from cleveland. >> i would ask, please, please, give us some space. we really need to have this time with gina. we promise as soon as we get answers and we're able to give you more, we'll give you more. i'm asking this simply because i also have another family member who just got out of the hospital yesterday from an aneurysm. i don't want to go back. this is two miracles in two weeks. so i'm begging, begging everyone just to support our family by not crowding us. giving us, give us air to breathe and we promise we will give you, at the right time, all the information that you guys can have. >> we want to know how gina is doing? >> i will tell you this, because i was there to seer had. all three girls, god works in mysterious ways. you would never, i mean it is just unbelievable,

unbelievable. these girls, these women, are so strong. stronger than i am. i will tell you that much. they all have a positive attitude. and this is what we need from everyone. we need to still be a family. neighborhood with neighborhood. we need to watch out for all kids, really. watch who your neighbor is, because you never know, okay? it's like, i'll tell you. what when i came from puerto rico, everybody saying i'm telling your mom. i seen you. i seen you. this is how we have to be again. we have to take care of everybody's children. and god has blessed us by bringing all three of those girls, all of them back. >> what did you do when you found out? >> i'm going to be honest. i just, god has been giving me signs two weeks in a row. one for my sister to get home to leave work, go home, five minutes to get to her to make it for her to survive. and, yesterday i said i was

leaving work at 5:00. they said go ahead and, not even as i got into my driveway, people were telling me go down there, go down there and i did and i kind of knew right then and there when i passed the yellow caution tape and they're telling me, stay away because they know who the family is. it was, i'm telling you, god works in mysterious ways. he is looking out for us. it was my mom's 10-year anniversary of her passing away. everything is in a circle. if you don't believe in miracles, i suggest you think again. because it does happen. [speaking spanish] bill: just want to hang with it in case she goes back to english. bear with us for a moment. this woman's story is absolutely stunning. it gives you chills when you listen to it. talking about her sister and

an aneurysm, two miracles in two weeks. how god works in so many crazy ways. martha: she has articulated, the family's feelings so clearly and how grateful they are. they said these three young women are so incredibly strong. she said they are stronger than me. she seems like a pretty strong lady. but she seems to be relaying to all of us that these women have been found in very good condition. and we sincerely hope they will be able to get back to their lives. bill: what she said too, martha, watch who your neighbor is. martha: yeah. bill: we have to take care of everyone's children. these girls did not go far. i mean just a couple of miles to the east. and that's where --. martha: all these people are saying, you know, the man who helped her out the door, i've been to barbecues in this backyard. all of them shocked there weren't more signs. we will no doubt hear, that there were some signs because there was one woman this morning who said she had seen him walking down the street with a little girl and said who is that

little girl. and he said, it is my girlfriend's daughter. so, you know, she is right. when you see things not quite right we have to find ways to pure sue them. bill: what issue said these girls i've seen them and i will tell you they're positive. martha: very positive. god bless them. oh, my gosh. all right, we're going to have more on that story today. you will hear a lot about those three women through the course of today. we're also going to speak with marc klaas, the father of polly klass. he dedicated his life to help prevent crimes against children. >> prayers have finally been answered. the nightmare is over. these three young ladies have provided us with the ultimate definition of survival and perseverance. the healing can now begin. man: how did i get here? dumb luck? or good decisions? ones i've made. ones we've all made.

martha: that is pretty huge charge by darrell issa. i'm joined by utah republican jason chaste fets who will be in the hearing with the government oversight committee. welcome back to the program. >> good morning. >> good morning to you. we're getting more information about what we'll hear tomorrow. we're hearing quotes attributed to gregory hicks who was the deputy chief of mission. he was number two to chris stevens. in fact he made his last communication to mr. hicks and yet mr. hicks feels like he was completely left out of this investigation. when he said what susan rice said on the morning shows his jaw dropped. is that what we'll hear and what more? >> well, this is a very brave patriotic person. when i went to libya 3 1/2 weeks, the first member of congress to get there, i spent a good part of the day with him and i just think it is so important that we hear from a non-political person, a person who was there on

the ground, a career foreign service person who just cares about his country, was deeply saddened, personally dealing with the death of ambassador stevens and the others, he can provide some insight that the rest of us can't. so we're looking forward to hearing from him and giving that personal insight. martha: i would think one of the moments this will come down to in terms of shedding light on this they were told that the special-ops folks were told to stand down. that they were ready to go. they wanted to come in and help, particularly, the two former navy seals who were killed in the final hours of this. who did that, who did that call come from? who told them to stand down? is that not one of the biggest questions here? >> well we were repeatedly told by the administration, from the president himself to the secretary of defense and others that they did everything they could but unfortunately there weren't any military assets that could get there in time. first of all, we didn't know when the conclusion of this firefight was going to

happen. remember it started at 9:40 p.m. local time. we didn't have people leaving benghazi until after the 6:00 a.m. hour. there was a barrage of attacks that happened in very serious once, there in the 5:00 a.m. hour. but, we did have military assets there. we had four men, dressed, ready to go, armed, ready to get in the car according to mr. hicks and then they were told to stand down. now that is a total contradiction from what the administration said but they were also the ones that it was video. they were also ones that said security officials made decisions on ground. none of these things, martha, ended up being true and that is why we continue to pursue this. martha: there is lot of pressure on this tomorrow for you and congressman issa who have been holding onto this story when everybody else, jay carney included this happen adlong time ago and you should let go of this and move on. what do you feel you need to accomplish in the hearings

tomorrow in order to continue unearth what i claim is a cover-up? >> well, look we have four dead americans. we have terrorists that committed this attack that have never been captured or killed. imagine the boston bombings we were eight months after it and we didn't have anybody in custody or hadn't killed or taken anybody out and senior most officials in the government were saying, don't worry about it, it happened a long time ago. that is just not the american way. we're different in the united states of america. we're open. we're transparent. we learn from our mistakes to make sure hundreds of embassies and consulates and thousands of people serving overseas are properly protected. i want truth and justice. i don't know how this all ends. i can tell you if it wasn't for darrell issa and oversight committee we would be left with a whole host of lies coming out of the administration because they were not truthful about this. martha: you have a lot of people paying attention tomorrow and big moment in the hearings which we will cover live. congressman chaffetz thank

you very much. >> thank you. martha: what is your take on this benghazi story? because a lot of people thought this should have gone away and now everybody is paying attention. send us a tweet @marthamaccallum and @billhemmer and let us know what you think about the coverage of this story. who is paying attention to it now and where it goes from here. bill: think about 10 years, this decade-long nightmare finally over in part now but you don't know about the level of trauma and what comes next. three women held captive are now free. we know that. amanda berry's sixth grade teacher is here live in a moment. she has been watching the case as you can imagine from the very beginning. we'll hear from john walsh, marc klaas, polly klass's father. here is the uncle of the suspect on the street of cleveland just last night. >> i feel terrible because he is my family. and, we're with a big family. we never thought that something like this could happen within our family.

martha: more from the except in cleveland this morning from wjw, this is mark vin re, a repor vinnie, a report from the scene. >> they've set up this welcome home gina banner in front of of the house where neighbors have been coming by bringing balloons all morning long. since the news broke yesterday. we have members of the guardian angels, who have been here to

family, to inform famil the media nicely that they would like us to stand back and not harass the family. you have family members who have gathered. the brother, other relatives coming in and out of the house right now. just to kind of be together. obviously the atmosphere here is joy, but at the same time a little bit of anger as the brother said to me and also a cousin. they are trying to come to grips with the reality here that the suspect had a connection with the family, something we're learning more about and we'll have much more about later on today. martha: it's something we'll learn more about that the families may have known each other to some extent. obviously it's a large family. coming to grips with the reality is the major working phrase here. there is a lot to come to grips with. bill: with us now is amanda berry's 6th grade teacher. you can imagine the teacherrer oteacher of this young child

and how you follow every twist and turn of the story for years and you're hoping for a miracle. when there are reports of a tip here or tip there, or maybe a backyard has been dug up that only leads to nothing -- and now this elizabeth serrano says she remembers barry as a gifted student. she is on the phone. good morning to you. >> good morning. how are you doing. >> i'm doing great. how are you doing. >> i'm full of joy that my amanda is alive. >> tell me your initial reaction when you heard the words, did you believe it? >> actually i was at home because i live in florida. my daughter called me. she said, mom, are you watching tv? i said no. she said put it they found amanda. i said alive? she said yes, i said oh, my god, i burst into tears. i went to my husband i say, oh, we have to put cnn now, and they said they found amanda. so i put it and i couldn't believe it. bill: that is terrific.

you can always watch the fox news channel too, you know, elizabeth. >> yes, then i went to fox, because at first i didn't -- i know you're on fox. bill: thank you. >> and then my daughter told me look for fox, so i went for fox, and that's when i got everything that was going on from cleveland, and the more i saw what amanda did it remind me the girl that i taught, and she was excellent, she was a leader, amanda was a leader, she was a fighter, and she prove it yesterday. and all i can tell you that she couldn't do that before it was because something major was an obstacle for her to do it. bill: tell us what you remember from her as a 6th grader. i mean, you describe her in so many ways, and it's very vivid too.

you describe her as person who had a big personality, that's what i take from that. >> yes, amanda was always a very respectful, very respectful to adults. she was very intelligent. amanda was always the leader in my class. i was teaching reading to her. and when she was at joseph gallagher in 6th grade. and amanda was always receptive and she was always talking, you know, tph-rb this situation , in this situation i would do that. i would ask her if you got in this situation what would you do? and she always had the leadership showing in every word and attitude that she expressed. bill: i hope you get a chance to see her again soon, elizabeth. thank you. >> i wish i could see her. bill: thank you for sharing your memories. thank you, the 6th grade teacher of amanda barry from way

back when. nice. martha: full of joy. what an amazing moment for these people. as we all know, sadly, not all kidnapping cases have a happy ending. 12-year-old polly klaas was kidnapped and murdered in 1993. her dad, mark, has become a fierce advocate for children. he joins us live as we learn more about the ordeal of the three girls who were kidnapped a decade ago. first some of amanda berry's emotional 911 call. >> help me, i'm amanda berry. >> you need police, fire or ambulance. >> what is going on there? >> i've been kidnapped, and i've been missing for ten years, and i'm here, i'm free now.

the e great weekekend ♪ hotwiwire.com martha: back here in "america's newsroom" with fox news alert. we continue to get the latest details on the three wepl foun women found alive after they disappeared roughly ten years ago. there are thousands of other ab suction cases that do not end in this way. looking at a map that shows where each of them was last seen and then where they were found, it is not far apart. we know in so many cases this is not the outcome, and we are thankful for charles ramsey, who was the man who literally help had amanda berry out the door. let's listen to some of what he

said. >> i hear some girl screaming, so my neighbor he come across the street and i'm looking at him going across the street wondering where he's going. he goes next door to my house and i look and see this girl, and she is just going nuts on the door. >> how did they look, in what condition? >> he look like they haven't been fed in a longtime. one of the detectives from the second district saeugd he had a picture of pwerpz r-r and a picture of jena. he said you know who you just rescued out out of the house? i said bro a couple ae females. he said you got amanda, jena, and the other one he didn't say nothing about. >> what an account from that gentleman. john walsh led his own personal crusade for decade half his son was taken captive and sadly killed. john, good to have you with us this morning. boy, what do you make of all this. sir. >> a wonderful day. martha: it is a wonderful day. >> i've been up all night and believe me i was thinking about

doing cartwheels. and most of these cases don't turn out with happy endings. we've seen a few in the last, you know, years, du jayce, dugard being held in the backyard for 18 years. two boys in the midwest recovered alive. but there is a couple of heros here and amanda berry is a real hero. she found a minute, found a time that these three alleged horrible perverts weren't at that house, she reached out, and charles ramsey, and there are so many people that don't want to get involved, and charles ramsey said it, i'm a black man and here is a white woman screaming, i think it might be a domestic abuse case, should i get involved? no. he bound up that porch, he broke her out of there and got to the 911 call and saved three women one a 6-year-old girl. there are two heroes, amanda and charles really. martha: we listen to the aunt of

g sues saying we need gina dejesus, folks we need to get involved and do things like what that gentleman did. i'm curious what you about i this the police work on this. nobody wants to criticize. we know as we heard in morning in the news conference they have been working very hard and following up every single lead. there was one opportunity when they went to the house, the child protective services folks went to the house. he was a bus driver and he left a child on the bus when he went to get lunch and they followed up on this. were there opportunities missed? did this have to go on as long in your opinion? >> let me say this first. i've been doing america's most wanted 25 years, we've caught 1200 guys. i work with police every single day. 140 cops were killed in the line of duty last year, and they put their lives on the line every day, but i think some good things are going to come out of this. because amanda berry's mother before she died, and we profiled

this girl three times was saying, i'm absolutely incensed that in the beginning police listed her as a run away. and gina dejesus' parents still to this day cannot understand why she wasn't a amber alert. i fought hard to get that amber alert bill passed, three years in congress, and the first year there were amber alerts on a nation-wide basis, they saved 117 kids. so, some lessons need to be learned here. and i don't think anybody is talking about michelle knight. i've done tons of cases where adult women are never profiled, never looked for, almost every one of ted bundy's victims was hreulsed has a run away when they were murdered by a serial killer. i hope some good things come out of this. the cops have done great job catching these three guys in whropb night. one night. i hope they prosecute to the max, that they never see another day outside, but, you know, i think some things will be learned because of this case.

martha: you make so many great points. i have was just reading a little bit more about knigh michelle knight. she was somewhere between 18 and 20, when she was abduct ned this case, and she had lost custody according to one report i read of a young child and the thinking was oh she's taken off. and nobody would believe that she hadn't just taken off. her mother kept saying that she just simply did not believe that was the case and she persevered in look for her nor a very longtime. you raise a great point, you know, but how do police make that judgment about whether or not it's a kidnapping or whether it's something else? >> it's a tough call, and i say to cops aupl th all the time, because i love cops. i go on record again, i love cops. i say, why? why in wrong minute because so many women do maybe take off or whatever. so many women murdered in this country in the last 50 years didn't run away and they were never looked for. i say you're literally, by

you're assumption that this woman is a run away even though all the evidence suggests she is not you're signing her death warrant by not looking for her, and i don't really think anybody was looking for michelle knight kpwep he except her mother. this is a wonderful, incredible day. with all the bad news we've been getting lately this is fantastic news, but, they've got to get counseling for these three women, for amanda, they don't need to do media, they don't need to talk to the press, do what elizabeth smart did, get to counseling, jaycee dugard, you can talk to the press later. they have a tough road ahead but boy they are alive. martha: i think you're right. thank you very much, john walsh, good to have you with us. bill: growing up we always hear about stories about someone missing, and usually they don't end up like this. i've got family in cleveland, nieces and nephews that grew up that are the same age as these young ladies and they tphold the story fofollowed the story for ten years. when the the news broke the

counsel what' was what's was was erupting in absolute euphoria. >> in all the cases we have to keep pointing out they really were not that far from where they disappeared. bill: a couple of miles. martha: that is a big lesson. bill: you will hear from mark klaas, he's led a national crusade since his daughter polywas abducted and never came home. how does a suspect scare a person so deeply that they don't make a move for ten years?

bill: the latest on what is an absolutely extraordinary story. three women found alive after disappearing ten years ago. they still have a long road ahead, but usually these stories, frankly, they don't end like this. take 12-year-old polly klaas.

in 19 the 3 young poly was having a slumber party at her home when a man entered her bedroom and kidnapped her at knife point. tragically she was found dead two months late. this was a story that grabbed national attention and drove this man on a national kr crusade. mark klaas. good morning to you. we have spoken many times over the years. as i mention hit does not usually end like this. i want to get an understanding from you as to how an abductor in this case, this 52-year-old suspect, how he can scare these women so deeply that they don't make a move for almost a decade. how is that possible? >> well, let's remember, bill, in two of these cases, these weren't women when they were taken, they were girls. and so you're looking at a context of a determined predator and a young girl. they use threats, they use intimidation, they use coercion,

they may usury straeupbts, they mause use restraints. they may torture them. there is certainly sexual assaults going on. i wouldn't be surprised if we found in this house secret rooms or caves or something like that that these kids were put in. they are completely psychologically and oftentimes physically under the gun. they've got absolutely no recourse. they are told that if they make a sound their families might be victims of their wrath. so it's a terrible, difficult thing. the thing that is absolutely amazing about this story, as has been pointed out time and time again, is the fact that one of the girls found it within herself and had an opportunity to be able to escape and effect her own escape because that doesn't happen in the vast majority of cases where children are found alive. it didn't happen in dugard, it didn't happen in st. louis and it didn't happen with elizabeth

smart. bill: there is a report that was on air earlier today about a newspaper editor who said that the son of the accused wrote a story in college at bowling green state university on a story of one of the missing women. i mean, some of these details -- we're just now getting into this. okay. who knows where the end of the story leads. but not a single neighbor reported a problem at that home for ten years. you know what that tells me, mark? that tells me this man was good at what he did. >> this man was very good at what he did. to be able to keep these women secreted for ten years. it also illustrates some other things, bill. it illustrates that in the vast majority of cases abduction is a local crime. these girls were within very close proximity of each other when they were kidnapped, or the locations from which they were kidnapped and they were also in very close proximate eupl ma thee from where they were found a decade later. these guys don't outside of

their comfort zone. they stay where there he feel comfort anal comfortable, where it works for them and these are the results. bill: mark klaas thank you for your time. we'll speak again. >> sure thing. bill: back in a moment.

bill: a big reminder online, they've been working at foxnews.com, and fox news latino.com. you can check it all day or night. there will be more developments too. martha: we will be covering this throughout the day. benghazi hearings tomorrow.

"happening now" starts right now. see you then. >> a fox news alert on the remarkable survival story that simply captivating our country today. investigators in cleveland, ohio just releasing new details about three missing young women suddenly found alive after more than a decade. right now we have pictures of two of these young women. we're told they all appear to be in good physical health following an evaluation last night at the hospital. authorities have not provided specific details about the circumstances of their captivity over the last decade. this man is one of the three suspects, all brothers, now under arrest for the alleged sid tphapgs. kidnappings. we'll be live on the ground in cleveland moments from now. jon: new developments to tell you about on the her or on the highway, the survivors are a deadly limo fire speaking out and their version of events is much different from the story the driver has
