The unthinkable happened.

miracle happened.

As the sun soaked Seymour Avenue on that warm afternoon, Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus and Michelle Knight had their freedom.

5:51 p.m. The call came in.

“Help me, I’m Amanda Berry.”

It was a voice many never thought would be heard from again.

“I’ve been kidnapped and I’ve been missing for 10 years and I’m here. I’m free now.”

She called 911 from a neighbor’s house, pleading for police to come before “he” — Castro — returned.

Seymour Avenue gushed with crowds of people who filled the neighborhood to celebrate the miracle. As cameras watched the event unfold, one man rose to fame after he claimed to be the person who helped in their escape.
