In pictures: Cleveland women rescued
- Published
Three young women who had been missing for about a decade have been found in Cleveland, Ohio. Michelle Knight, Amanda Berry and Gina DeJesus were all rescued after Ms Berry attempted to flee the house house on Seymour Avenue. The FBI later searched the home.
Neighbour, Charles Ramsey, said he helped Ms Berry, after hearing her screams for help.

Three brothers were taken into custody. Cleveland police said the suspects were Hispanic, aged 50, 52 and 54, and that one of them had lived at the house where the girls were found. Cheering crowds gathered in the usually quiet neighbourhood after news broke.
Amanda Berry is pictured here shortly before she went missing on April 21, 2003, after leaving the fast food restaurant where she worked. Cleveland police have said that Amanda and the two other women "seem to be in good health".
Photos of Georgina "Gina" DeJesus were also widely distributed after she went missing, as a teenager, in 2004. The third woman, Michelle Knight, who disappeared in 2002 aged around 19, has been less widely identified and photographs of her are not readily available.
Investigators released this age-progressed picture of Georgina DeJesus to give an idea of how she might look as a 19-year-old.
Felix DeJesus, Gina's father, pictured next to a memorial in his living room in 2004, never stopped campaigning for more information about his missing daughter.
