While we celebrate the joy for the families whose daughters were located safely, and love how it gives hope to our present families who have missing loved ones, let us not forget those whose children did not come home safely. Many are asking "Why not my child?" "Why wasn't my child one that could have been found safe?" Those families also need special attention…especially now. Their feelings are natural and they should not feel guilt. Pray they have the faith to believe that their child is in a greater place than any of us could imagine and are free from pain, fears, worry, hunger, prejudice and hate….and that they have the faith that they too will be reunited with their missing loved ones one day when we all join together in God's Kingdom.
Ø Amanda Berry, still wearing the same jewelry and eyebrow ring from 10 years ago, safe at last.
Ø At first Anna Tejeda, 50, a neighbor said she didn't want to believe who the young woman was. "You're not Amanda Berry," she insisted. "Amanda Berry is dead."
Ø The frantic and breathless voice says, "Help me. I'm Amanda Berry," as she told a 911 dispatcher through tears. "I've been kidnapped and I've been missing for 10 years and I'm, I'm here, I'm free now."
Ø Ramsey the Rescuer: Bro, not a clue that that girl was in that house. Or anybody else was in there against their will. Because how he is. He just comes out to his backyard, plays with the dogs, tinkering with his cars and motorcycles, go back in the house. So he’s somebody you look, then look away. He’s not doing anything, but the average stuff. You see what I’m saying? There’s nothing exciting about him. Well, until today.
Ø Police Chief Michael McGrath said he thinks Berry, Gina DeJesus and Michelle Knight were tied up at the house and held there since they were in their teens or early 20s.The missing women have been interviewed. They are in good health and sound mind. Police said it seemed like they have been at the Seymour location the entire time.
Ø “Gina is doing well, she's in good spirits,” said Sandra Ruiz off camera. “She remembers everyone.”
Ø Cleveland man who found missing woman Amanda Berry: 'I thought that girl was dead'
Ø Gina’s mother Nancy Ruiz has been a local advocate for missing children and the dangers of human trafficking. “I always said it from the beginning; she was sold to the highest bidder,” she said in April 2012.
Ø Tears of joy were running down Jennifer Picart's face as she remembered the night that Berry disappeared. "I was the last person she talked to, I felt horrible because I felt like it was my fault if I could have stopped it she would have been home," said Picart.
Ø “This isn’t the ending we usually get,” said MetroHealth Medical Center Dr. Gerald Maloney.
Ø "Every year, we would have a rally for Amanda Berry and Gina DeJesus, said organizer Judy Martin. We asked everyone please look next door, and look where they were found. Next door. Down the street. I'm overwhelmed, and grateful. What a blessing," Martin said.
Ø Berry's mother, Louwana Miller, who had been hospitalized for months with pancreatitis and other ailments, died in March 2006. She had spent the previous three years looking for her daughter, whose disappearance took a toll as her health steadily deteriorated, family and friends said. Councilwoman Dona Brady said she had spent many hours with Miller, who never gave up hope that her daughter was alive. "She literally died of a broken heart," Brady said.
