約１０年前に行方不明になった女性３人がアメリカのオハイオ州クリーブランドで保護されました。

Police: No previous indication women were being held at Cleveland home
Cleveland (CNN) -- Three women freed from a decade of captivity inside a Cleveland home celebrated in the arms of their families Tuesday, as police and the FBI worked to unravel the details of their abductions.

Amanda Berry, Georgina "Gina" DeJesus and Michele Knight were freed Monday night after Berry attracted the attention of a neighbor who helped her escape. A 6-year-old girl that police said is believed to be Berry's daughter was also freed.

"We see this dude every day. I've been here a year. I barbecued with this dude. We eat ribs and listen to salsa music," Ramsey said.

"We never saw the girls there, and we were always outside," she said. "We only saw the guy."

Cleveland Mayor Frank Jackson said there were "many unanswered questions regarding this case, and the investigation will be ongoing."

"I am thankful that these three young ladies are found and alive,' he said Monday.

またOEDにdude upで"dress up elaborately"と載っておりました。

３人の女性の健康状態が良好だったのがせめてもの救いです。行方不明になってから約１０年…３人もお母さんもかなりつらかったでしょうね。(Hatahata)
