- Here are highlights from WKYC's coverage as the 'Miracle in Cleveland' unfolded May 6, 2013 as Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus and Michelle Knight escaped years of captivity from their kidnapper.
Michelle Knight is a human being just like the other ones , they should have mentioned her as well , she is just as important as anyone else.
@Biggie Rozay i watched the movie , and seen the story , i find that hard to believe , she was just an honest girl trying to go to court and straighten out the situation with her child, until she was so rudely interrupted by him.
@Biggie Rozay I do NOT believe that...he was a crazy sex addict and he took all these girls life's and was a monster to all 3 girls..he was delusional and thought of them as his family..
Biggie Rozay that's absolute BS. She was kidnapped, but her family didn't give a crap. They thought she just left so didn't report her missing. She was the most abused of the 3 of them. Have you ever heard of Stockholm syndrome?? The poor woman gas been abused her entire life, and you're an uneducated idiot.
@Biggie Rozay you can believe that if you want..I DO NOT!!!
@Biggie Rozay lmao....troll. take your meds honey and go to bed.
I never get over the rudeness of the 911 operators on the calls involving this case.
Ikr
I hope they got fired bc they don’t need to be trying to help anyone
I couldn't agree more. I even posted that myself.
It's disappointing and disgusting 😕
It's so sad I'll never 4get my 911 cal when my life was on the line.. I still think of it so I can only imagine how bad Amanda feels after 10yrs.. absolutely sickening individual
Poor Michelle...even the media was ignoring her suffering!
Not really. She was just the least known of the victims at the time of their rescue. The two younger women were locally famous missing persons. So of course, especially in the early days of when this story broke, they got the lion's share of the news coverage.
I thought that as well/truth is she did not want to get talked about/did not want to see her family//she was tired of people //and did not know if she was going to live//she almost died//she did not want anyone to steel her thunder//
ABSOLUTELY!!
@Ash*Daniel Stapp I have read that the other 2 women have said they are the ones that separated themselves from her. That even in the home, in captivity, they didn’t like her and were mean to her. I need to find that article again. I couldn’t believe how Michelle (Lilly) was so alone. Her family didn’t even try to find her. Her mom didn’t care about her and even in captivity, the other victims rejected her too. It’s so sad. Even the media excluded her in so many regards.
Right!
It’s sad that they didn’t even realize Michelle was in there and missing even longer. Because her family didn’t fight like Gina & Amanda’s Family did! So glad Michelle has a beautiful fa,ily now with her husband
Gina and Amanda were teenagers when they vanished, and had families who never stopped looking for them. They kept the public aware of their disappearances for a decade. Lily was already an adult when she went missing, and came from a fairly dysfunctional family that took some time to even notice she was gone.
@@billanthony7896 you seem passionate about this case, but what you said was what cynjm88 said. People were and still are upset at how forgotten she was, that even in her rescue, she wasn’t as “important” and “recognized through the rescue” in the way that the public felt she should have been. I mean, it is something that pulls at the heartstrings of people considering what she went through. They say she had the worst of it all. Imagine being told you will be killed if you don’t keep the baby alive of another captive woman and having the life of your baby stomped out of you. My heart breaks for them all, but hurts so much more for Michelle/Lilly. She was discarded in a way no one should ever be.
I am so happy for Michelle but she has a different name now and very happy now and so happy for her happiness after such a horrible 10 plus years.
that damn 911 operator was so heartless and rude!!!
Due to the 911 operator's lack of empathy and professionalism the two girls still in the house were in danger of still being in there when Castro returned. I hope that idiot operator was fired.
Charles Ramsey, the dude who helped break Amanda out of the house, also dealt with a completely inept operator! Ridiculous.
Read my response or reply higher up at Kate Star
@@tallywhite5770 He wasn't fired. He was verbally reprimanded by his Supervisor.
Yes omg ! That really hurt me .
They need to train these 911 people they are so unprofessional and clueless as to how to handle calls!
I totally agree!
That was a shocking emergency call, that guy should never have hung up before police got there.
911 NEEDS TO BE TRAINED BETTER, "WHAT'S HE WEARING??" THATS A QUESTION THAT CAN BE ANSWERED WHEN POLICE GET THERE... WHY ON EARTH DID 911 NOT STAY ON THE PHONE???
AMANDA BERRY RESCUED HERSELF & THE OTHERS, GIVE CREDIT WHERE CREDIT IS DUE!! SHE MAY HAVE ASKED THE NEIGHBOR TO HELP HER GET THE DOOR OPEN, BUT I BELIEVE SHE WAS THE REAL HERO... FACTS... FACTS...
Yessss!!! Right!! Pissed me off this operator and how he treated her!!! She was scared she didnt want to hang up! He acted like she was trying to order pizza...d bag
Right!? The dispatcher was not very supportive of this poor girl and got a little snippy at the end. She obviously didn't want to hang up yet, that was the only link to help she had at that moment.
“Talk to the police when they get there.” *Hangs up*
WHAT?!?! Who trained these idiots!!?!?
Typical Cleveland attitude sh!t!! Imagine getting that kind of call and you treat them like they're nothing. Like this thing did Amanda! Was that a man or a woman? It sounds like a thing that NEVER deserves any kind of job EVER again!!! I really can't listen to that call. It makes me too mad
That's what I was thinking
That's what I thought!! Who the heck hired that guy,!! He did resign in the end. He was awful to Amanda!! Shocking
I read where they gave the operator a written warning ⚠️!
After all the Years of wanting to call 911 and she gets this mean mf
Michelle was the first one to get abducted and he was cruel to her. How dare you not mention her??
I couldn't agree more. Michelle did her own book and I have both their books.
EXACTLY! n she got the brunt of the abuse n they hardly say anything!!! Despicable!! N those 912 dispatchers should b f---ing FIRED!!! I'll never forget watching the news with my aunt, we lived in W130th just a couple streets over from where Amanda sister lived. The whole city of Cleveland went CRAZY when we found out!
20 years old is still very young, barely becoming an adult, my heart and prayers go out to Michelle.
Michelle Knight was 21 when she was abducted and 32 when she was rescued. The reporters were misinformed.
And 10 year of being missing is a long time. So sad that her family didn’t even care .
That 911 operator was kinda a jerk. She kept saying talk to the police when they get there ..... no sense of urgency to help amanda
Believe it or not, that was actually a male operator. His name is Jack Purdy.
Does he sound like a male to you?
She should have been fired!
They trie to keep them calm and on the line so their adress can be traced and while they talk police get despatched immediately Its for a reason Its just crisis intervention They cant draw out info If the perpetrator gets there while they give too much info they can be killed.So dont judge so quickly Crisis intervention and keeping the vitims calm is extremely difficult
@@snowbunny1285 it’s a male dispatcher named Jack Purdy it’s a simple find just Google it !! He wasn’t fired but was written up for failure to keep Amanda Berry on the line !! Purdy even said when Amanda gave the address that it showed the call from a different house number !! Amanda said I’m calling from a neighbors house !! Amanda Berry’s persistence may have saved all those young women’s lives !!
For all the people wondering about Lily Rose Lee, (aka Michelle Knight)... She's first mentioned at 3:22 into the newscast. The reason she was mentioned later, is because the other two women were locally famous as missing persons who were suddenly found. Lily didn't have a decade of news stories covering her disappearance. Thus, at the time the three women were rescued, Lily was virtually unknown to the general public.
That might seem extremely unfair, but that's how the news media operates. There was no malice intended. To put it in a bluntly crude, yet honest way, she was the least "newsworthy" of the three at the time of these broadcasts.
I have to give Charles Ramsey a big thumbs up
The sad thing is they were not found and the police and authorities did not find them, Amanda found her opportunity to escape and she took it.
The Cleveland police and FBI failed. Neighbors called the police about the boarded up windows, screams from inside the house, blaring radio all day long and naked chained girls crawling in the backyard. The police did nothing. Lied and said there were no such calls. One officer says that wasn't probable cause to search a house. Unbelievable!
@@dinamiske346 it's the same with the Jaycee Dugard case. Cops had opportunity to do something but didn't.
What about Michelle Knight???
I know right
Like wtf!?
She gets mentioned for the first time at 3:22. You do realize the two younger women were locally famous missing persons. Thousands of flyers were made about them and distributed to the public. On the anniversaries of their disappearances, the news media would run stories about them. Lily was virtually unknown to the public at the time of the rescue. Thousands of flyers were never distributed on her behalf. No news stories ever came out on the anniversary of her disappearance. That's the reason she isn't mentioned until 3:22 of this broadcast. It's not like it's some plot to ignore her existence.
Exactly!!!
it isnt that ppl left her out, shes mentioned it this video. the fact is the other 2 had family looking for them, they were "more famous or known" due to THEIR families. Michelle didnt have ppl hllding vigils etc, ppl didnt know she was missing cuz of her age... its sad the 2 were more known but it doesnt diminish michelles suffering. ppl do care about her and have shown her since being free. its unfortunate her own family didnt value her though.
I can so relate with Michelle. I left for 2 days when I joined the Air Force for in processing. No one ask where I went or even noticed I was gone. I'm so glad I joined the Air Force, best thing that happened to me in my life! Bless these young ladies hearts, they are strong!
That 911 operator did an awful job with that call. I’m speaking from experience as an operator and her voice sounded like she could care less about what the caller was saying.
If they had never been found then poor Michele would have been totally forgotten. How devastating to the soul. I can totally understand why she wants nothing to do with her mom. Absolutely heart wrenching.
The operator was rude dontcha think
Amy Lumbard omg yes !!
Amy Lumbard
Hell yeah - I hope he or she was fired OR at best got some empathy training !!!!
yessssss/its like she did not believe them
Yes she could have handled this a little better, in fact about a month later she was reprimanded. The main fault with how she handled it was she told Amanda to wait there till police arrived. What she should have done was stay on the phone with her UNTIL police arrived.
Yea she was! She should of stayed on the phone with Amanda
Anchor woman says "THE BIGGEST STORY EVER" but the 911 dispatcher said "We're going to send them as soon as we get a car open" ... Otherwise, not a second sooner.
Lol ..but in serious terms, can’t believe these things can even happen in US
So easy to criticize first-responders, but do you have any idea how many calls these folks process? And btw, their pay is lousy and the stress at work is horrifying. He didn't know how significant this call was, so lay off. I hope you end up being forced to work as a 911 dispatcher someday, you won't last an hour
@@MoumitaHanra
You gotta be shittin me, that is a singularly and astonishingly naive thing to say, your experience of life must be utterly closeted, seriously, the age of ignorance is over, you only have to look to see the abduction/kidnap/missing persons/hostage statistics, how TF can you say you "can't believe this happens in the US" ? Not only did you actually say that, you stated your "seriousness" in saying it !!!!
And not just that either, you posted it on the internet, are you really that naive as to be "seriously" in disbelief of abductions taking place in the US ?? Have you any idea how ludicrous that is...........
WHY is Michelle being forgotten she is a somebody she is being left out. Don’t understand it.
She didn't want to be talk about.
Her family didn’t give a fuck about her missing.
No one reported her missing.
Michelle knight is most interested n important I never gave up on her
Amen poor girl
"Well, he was weird but I didn't think he was THAT WEIRD."
Funny how all news stories surrounding this always mention Amanda and Gina together, and then they name Michelle last, as if her disappearance didn't mean shit. Also, they interviewed Michelle by herself, and they interviewed Gina and Amanda together. They all 3 should've been in the same interviews. Poor Michelle. Everyone always mentions her last. Being kidnapped and held captive is horrible to happen to anyone of any age, so Michelle was just as abused as the other two were. They seem to mention the pretty ones, but forget the not so pretty ones in the end. A human life is a human life. Hope these ladies succeed even more than they've already and will continue to dream of succeeding at, regardless of this terrible crime. Glad you all got out alive.
So you equate all that to physical beauty. Plus you don't take into account the ten years of news coverage concerning the disappearances of Amanda and Gina. You spout off nonsense with the greatest of ease. Wow-- Stupid Is As Stupid Writes!
Pretty ones? None of them are pretty
It also pisses me off no end that Amanda and Gina were honored by the "Missing Children's Network", but they ignored Michelle because she was 21 when she was taken so, she just didn't matter to them.
Also consider that their abuser were more than likely pitting them against each other and not allowed to even speak much. He kept them chained up and locked away in separate spaces with the exception of forcing Michelle to deliver Amanda’s baby
I feel love for these women and have never met them.
Years later I'm in tears listening to this again. I wish them the best..
911 operator sucks should of been fired
Thomas Meskell yes, what an uncompassionate inconsiderate b*tch.
From what I understand they were fired.
is that a fact
He was disciplined but not fired because he should have been more empathetic and kept Amanda Berry on the line. He did get the police there within 2 minutes. There was another news report about it
Im sorry but this 911 dispatcher needed to stay on the phone til cops got there and the way she spoke to this girl was unexceptionable.
I know !!! Like why would you hang up !!
It’s a man and they didn’t even fire him 😒
Michelle is my hero
This story still gives me the chills and goosebumps everytime I hear it!!!
The 911 operator should have been fired . Someone is calling about getting kidnapped and they said they will send a car out when one is available?? Every time I hear that 911 call it makes me so mad how insensitive and careless these workers are . Absolutely ridiculous
My heart aches for Michelle. She seemingly had to go through the kidnapping alone except for her bond with the other 2 girls, and now she's getting short shrift by the media as well. Over it all i think she's basically shunned much publicity, but has been able to find a good life despite everything.
Wow I just don’t get why Michelle Knight was never ever mentioned!!! It breaks my heart that she had no family to go to or to miss her...
She was mention in 3:22 did you watch the video? If you still don't get it because this comment is like 5 months but just in case
Critical: it was determined within hours that the two brothers Onil and Pedro had NOTHING to do with the Monster - they were innocent and duped with everyone else. Police had instructions to locate Ariel Castro's car and apprehend anyone with it...Poor Pedro was in the car with him. wrong place, wrong time. Those two brothers are good people!
The 911 operator should have been fired
Yea he was awful
Its sad to think how many more poor people are out there being tortured and abused like this. This sex trafficking shit has gotten out of control. The roller coaster of emotions to go through. Michelle knight really went thru tremendous pain and torture. My new hero! God love them and bless them all .....but michelle will always have a special place in my heart.
2013/. 911 dispatchers clearly doesn’t care what’s going on!! Should have taken notice then about how they handle calls!! LOOK it’s 2020 and nothing’s changed!
I still remember this day and even though I don’t know these girls personally I think for the world this was truly a miracle and we all cheered for them and sent our love and still do, I hope they keep going and have a wonderful life
Omg how did that man get away with this he even drove a school bus such evil
The dispatcher disregard for the call is an understatement 🤦🤦😳
Breaks my heart not hearing Michelle's name , God love her ...
Are you blind Or deaf, she's been mention several times
God hasn’t forgot. He sees her.
Michelle Knight suffered the most, and she gets 0 recognition
It’s not right to say she suffered the most they all went thru hell In that house
@Sharon Cerrrillo were you there sharron no you weren’t so keep your ignorant comment to yourself
She did get it the worse it's a fact Michelle even says it ! He beat her constantly raped her the most starved her Amanda berry was clean an in clean clothes an fed all the time cause she was favored Michelle took the brunt of everything cause he hated her because he thought he kidnapped a young girl cause she was so small
she wasnt a kid! child abuse massively trumps adult woman abuse
Despite her being 20 years of age- Michelle had a learning difficulty so she was vulnerable They completely failed her..in the lack of exposure & attention her missing persons case got in the media & here; they mention her as some kind of afterthought.
My heart breaks for Michelle!
The survival instincts of these girls are truly AMAZEING
My heart goes out to all three girls but Michelle who was treated the worst and yet barely mentioned. I'm so glad everyone is defending her. I just watched her interview with Dr Phil and that broke my heart. I'm happy they all made it out of there but Michelle she is important too
Yeah, Michelle was also found.....
I hope that 911 dispatcher was FIRED. She was absolutely horrible to Amanda during the call. She kept on trying to get this girl off the phone while she was terrified for her life. She said "I already told you that they're on the way. Talk to them when they get there" how distasteful. She is a despicable person
911 operators should never hang up until police arrive on scene and Amanda was trying to tell her "we need to get back [there are still two women there]" but she was cut off. What if he killed Gina and Michelle?
They didn't even add Michelle Knight name there. She was there longer. She got mistreated by her own family. Then he made a difference in her which caused them to treat her differently and know this. I wish her so many blessings and I'm so happy she found love. 💝💝💝💝💝💖💖💖
Did all of you not listen? She was mentioned multiple times, just listen to this in it's entirety.
Sad that they didn’t do what they did for Michelle. She’s human, treat her just the same as the other girls. I can’t imagine what they all went through. I watched the movie last night and I bailed my eyes out. Happy they made it out alive. ❤️😢
Even though she didn’t have family looking for her, I don’t understand why the newscasters never mention Michelle Knight. She was the first victim and held the longest! Spoke too soon; they do mention her.
And Michelle Knight!
(Not even mentioned until 3:20)
Let's not forget Michelle Knight, people!
You know, the one whose family DIDN'T show up at the hospital when she was found! The one who had all of the nurses and orderlies comforting her in place of her relatives who failed to show up!
The one who was abducted FIRST, and treated the WORST!
She apparently doesn't even rate high enough for a mention until more than three minutes in to this "breaking News" broadcast. Sadly.
And this channel should be ASHAMED of this gross oversight forever. 👎
100%! Heartbreaking!
Ashamed? The news media? ASHAMED?!? That will be the day!
I don't understand why Amanda Berry never mentioned the other 2 girls in the 911 call.
I am very pleased that the film abduction in cleveland was based mostly on Michelle Knight. She was the longest woman held in captivity, worse treated from them all, and oh God what a woman she is, her strength is unbelievable amid all the turmoil she went trough all her life. You all did not deserve this but sorry to say Michelle deserves much more recognition. Am sorry your family failed you Michelle, we love you girl xxx
Me too.just watched it yesterday. Michelle suffered all her life. I'm so glad she has found happiness today.
i cannot freaking believe how rude the 911 caller was, makes me so angry
It pisses me off they didn't mention Michelle but it pisses me of Amanda didn't mention Gina or Michelle to the 911 operator
She did once they got there I think she was just scared he was gonna come.back so she wanted them to hurry .
Ariel pinned them against each other at a very vulnerable age
yes, and without Testosterone these adult women had no chance. If these were boys who grew into Men, mind games wouldnt work
I'm still wondering about Jocelyn, the daughter of Castro and Amanda. Did she ever questioned Castro or Amanda about the miserable life of her mother, as she was always chained and not allowed to go out from that tiny room. From the interview of Amanda, she said that Jocelyn was aloud to roam around the house. Even Castro takes Jocelyn to hang out. Jocelyn was old enough to noticed all the suffers of her mother.
That 911 operator was horrible!
How awful Michelle Knight was not mentioned.
What a damn shame Michelle got ignored 😒 Poor woman 😢❤
She was mentioned in 3:22
Why did she say she’s there with Gina but didn’t mention Michelle? Shit go
It has to.hurt Michelle just to see only the other two womens names on the media and not hers
Michelle was the hero and she's never mentioned. I saw an interview with her and Dr Phil and honestly guys, it had me in tears 😢
She was mentioned. In Cleveland, for a decade you seen Amanda and Ginas family everywhere. Posters, interviews, all that. You never heard of a Michelle knight. 10 years looking for those girls, you just assume they're dead. So yeah, the media covered Amanda and Gina first. That was the big story, the girls everyone knew in Cleveland were found alive, in Cleveland still. Once Michelles name came out into the media, shes had a ton of support from everyone. Shes married now and everything. She got her recognition too, but in Cleveland when you heard amanda and gina were found alive and together, it was the craziest thing ive ever heard of in Cleveland. Just unreal. Bless them all, glad they're all good and happy
@@Wtf91821 she's also changed her name as well
You know watching this story what gets on my nerve is that they just cover Amand and Gina sooo much more than Michelle, look just because she was 20 when she went missing she is just as important as the other 2 ladies. I mean no disrespect to any of the women I choke up alot everytime I watch their story, I don't know maybe it is because I can agree with michelle I was only seen when I was getting beaten and was the punching bag also. I just think this news crew could of done a hell of alot better job covering this than they did.
Miracles can happen.The Gentleman Charles is a hero. Thank God,all the victims were rescued.
This is sickening! How you are just diminishing Michelle's suffering, she was trapped and mattered as well and as much as the other two girls. and that reporter saying she didn't even know about her is just cruel.
Well they didn't know about her is because she was never reported missing And her family never look for her she wasn't well known to be missing and no fliers about her like Amanda and Gina was what do you want the reporter to do pretend that she knows about her? And besides it doesn't hurt to say they didn't know that person and I don't even know how is it cruel
The 911 operator was so mean !
Thank you Charles he's a hero
Michelle really got left tf out and shes the one that was the punchinf bag
Michelle was mentioned the entire video what’s the problem
No disrespect to the 2 young ladies found but there wasn't much attention about Michelle when she went missing
thats due to her age and her own family sadly. ppl never really knew she was missing. if youre 20 and arent close with family they dont report you as missing. thats why the other 2 girls were "more known" and it appears cared about more. but ALOT of ppl do care about michelle, she has seen that since.
Ok...why is Michelle only mentioned later on? Just because she was an adult didn't make her any less of a victim!
I cannot believe the nerve of the news not mentioning Michelle. Omg.
This was breaking news, they didnt know much about Michelle at this point
This is emotional
Michelle Knights mention in this news, Since she was not a minor and on her legal age in the time of her abduction and she's not on the news. The reporter also mention they dont know her. But they surely mention her name.
Best rescue story
Amanda has saved herself and her daughter, but she also saved the two other girls. Amanda is to me the greatest hero of the previous decade!
Rebecca, I agree, Michelle was not even acknowledged. She is such a strong person
It is a damn shame that they don't mentioned the one woman that was held captive for more years than the other two. That's an effing shame that Michelle Knight does not deserve the same recognition! What world do we live in? She was the first victim. But she's not important because she was an adult??????
Once again why is Michelle Knight always left out??!!! They seem to show only Amanda and Gina's pictures. Michelle was the first girl kidnapped and abused. SO I will say her name over and over..Michelle, Michelle, Michelle!!!!!!!
First of all, her name is now Lily. Say it over and over, Lily, Lily, LILY! Second, she isn't left out. She gets mentioned for the first time at 3:22. The reason she got mentioned last, is because at the time of this news broadcast, she was virtually unknown to the public. The two younger women were locally famous missing persons who were suddenly rescued, so of course they got the better share of the initial story.
He was truly a monster
What about Michelle?
She first gets mentioned at 3:22.
What an unprofessional 911 operator SMH
I understand that Michelle Knight had run away before... but it's so sad that no one was there to say Welcome home..!!
Wow they don't even mention Lily! : ( Why do they act like she doesn't exist. And wtf this dude "they're talking, they're healthy"... Tf they been starved and have had miscarriages. They are not healthy!
Also wtf they really gonna say she was of her own free will!!?? What does that even mean!!??
Right! Michelle was so unhealthy that she was put on hospice at the point of rescue and was told she only had days to live due to some type of bacterial infection..
no one even knew Michelle knight was missing
Heartbreaking.
This gives me hope Summer Wells will be found alive as horrible as it may be for her right now.😢
(My hope is she's being kept safe and happy.)
I'm so glad you brought up Summers name. God watch over her please! Still praying everyday for Summers safe return.
I do too.. I keep this case, Elizabeth Smart, Jaycee Dugard (even Carlina White and Alexis/ Kamaiya Mobley) in my mind when thinking about Summer. I pray she is still alive.
Please hold on to your children tight! Watch them like a hawk!
That operator was no professional
They keep acting like only two were held captive michelle is so strong and shame on everyone for acting like she did exist
Sounds like it's you that acting Michelle didn't exist. Watch the whole video.
These girls give people hope😇💄👗🐢
The commentator message was bad things happen to good people. I totally agree. But why doesn't anybody think Michelle Knight suffered less?? She does not deserve recognition? Shame on all of us!! 😢
My heart goes to michelle 🥺
Anybody know what happened to the sub human thing of a 911 operator who took Amanda's call and treated her like she was nothing?? I can't listen to it. I get too mad
He chose a different line of work, resigned.
AND MICHELLE KNIGHT
Must not of known about Michelle or the little girl at this time of news.
They where found together at the same time!! Lovely Michelle should have been mentioned as from the beginning in this video! Once a scapegoat, always a scapegoat ?!!
I cannot believe they did not say Michelle. Only Amanda and Gina.
That 911 operator was terrible !
Doesn't even mention Michelle :(
No mention of Michelle knight. Don't they care
Why the heck they even didn't mention Michelle??!
I truly hope the dispatcher was fired for her ignorance and callousness. What a piece of garbage!
