Three Ohio women who went missing approximately one decade ago were found safely on Monday mere blocks from their homes and a 52-year-old Hispanic man has been arrested in connection with their disappearance, reports TheGuardian.com.[3]

Amanda Berry disappeared at the age of 16 on April, 21, 2003; Gina DeJesus disappeared almost a one year later at the age of 14 walking home from school. Initial reports claimed that the third woman, Michele Knight disappeared in 1990, but later reports claim that she went missing in 2002 at the age of 20.

Ariel Castro, identified by locals as a former bus driver, has been arrested.

Charles Ramsey was passing by when he noticed a woman trying to escape the home, who said, “My name is Amanda Berry, please help me out of this house.”
