i cannot imagine the horror these 3 women went through in the past 10 years, actually I can and don't want to think about it. what the hell is wrong with people? and what is wrong with the police in Cleveland? are things so bad out there that they don't even respond to reports of naked women crawling around in the backyard?

Being from Cleveland, this is all anyone is talking about. People are just messed up. Two of these abductions were big local stories at the time, too. Kind of amazing. I hope these women can recover mentally from this.

I know what you mean, I can't help thinking that these poor people are scarred for life. what's worse is that there is at least 1 child out of this horror. god knows if there were more that these scumbags got rid of

Man, I don't even want to consider that. It's heartbreaking. Lately I've been hearing stuff about how human trafficking is a global problem, even here in North America. I really have a hard time even fathoming that.

These poor girls/woman I really pray for them and any other like them out there. I hope they can find some peace or comfort for the rest of their lives after going through this. They should hang those 3 by their balls. or torture them for ten years.

An unbelievable story. Neighbors are coming out of the woodwork evidently and saying they've had multiple complaints to the police over the past years but never imagined that this was going on. One said she reported to police that she saw a woman in a room upstairs trying to get her attention. She reported it and when they went to the house, they knocked and no one answered. So they left and never followed up later. She said the next day there were tarps over the windows. It still was never followed up. Police are gonna take a beating over this. Someone will be getting fired.

I don't feel there's any kind of redemption possible for men like these.

We have our own horror case here in Belgium with Marc Dutroux. He abducted girls, held them in his basement, abused them. Then he was arrested (for something more trivial), and left them to starve in their cell. His wife knew all about this. When he got out, they were near death, he buried them alive in the woods where they died. Then he abducted new girls and was caught.
With the stupid penal system here, he got 30 years. His wife is free already, living in a convent now.

It's even hard to wrap my mind around this. It will interesting to hear from the victims when the time comes.

This guy was something else that helped them.

He's quite a character and pretty awesome. Here's the original 911 call. Careful, STRONG LANGUAGE:

Practically in my back yard so to speak. We're all riveted to the news.

A truly unbelievable story I hope those 3 creeps get what's coming to them.

Agree. It's a shame but you just feel like the justice system could never mete out the kind of punishment that these guys deserve. The dads of these girls should have the option of ending these creeps lives with a ball bat.

Only one person has been arrested here. You guys should maybe reserve your scorn for the guilty.....

Actually, all 3 were arrested- I don't think it was determined until today that only one was going to be charged. I'd say the media is more to blame than anyone here, the initial reports indicated that all 3 were involved. I think the 'scorn' you speak of is in the general direction of anyone responsible, aware, or involved at any level of something like this. I doubt anyone here would have the same feelings while knowing full well that someone was merely related and not actually involved.

Supposedly the Portland area is a big center for human trafficking. What the hell is going on, indeed...
