She had spent the previous three years looking for her daughter, whose disappearance took a toll as her health steadily deteriorated, family and friends said.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>* Reportedly, the missing women had been held in the same place for all 10 years.<\/p>\n<p>* Charles Ramsey who aided Amanda and kicked out the screen door said that when they called 911 from his cell phone, they had a difficult time getting the police dispatcher to believe them.\u00a0 When the squad cars came out, they took a blood sample to make sure it was Amanda and when it was confirmed, Amanda told them that there were more at 2207 Seymour that included Gina DeJesus.\u00a0 Then DeJesus and Michelle Knight were rescued.<\/p>\n<p>* Charles Ramsey, the man who helped Amanda escape the house at 2207 Seymour, said he had bar-be-qued with Castro and never suspected a thing of his neighbor and had no idea that any women or a child were in the house.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Verdana,sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-size: small\">*Berry also identified Ariel Castro by name in her 911 call. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>* <span style=\"font-family: Verdana,sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-size: small\">In January, a prison inmate was sentenced to 4 1\/2 years after admitting he provided a false burial tip in the disappearance of Berry. A judge in Cleveland sentenced Robert Wolford on his guilty plea to obstruction of justice, making a false report and making a false alarm. <\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-family: Verdana,sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-size: small\">Last summer, Wolford tipped authorities to look for Berry&#8217;s remains in a Cleveland lot. He was taken to the location, which was dug up with backhoes. That location is only a block or two away from the house where the girls were being held until May 6, 2013.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>* <span style=\"font-family: Verdana,sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-size: small\">No Amber Alert was issued the day DeJesus failed to return home from school in April 2004 because no one witnessed her abduction. The lack of an Amber Alert angered her father, Felix DeJesus, who said in 2006 he believed the public will listen even if the alerts become routine. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>* In the past many times including in April 2004, the Amanda Berry and Gina DeJesus disappearances were featured on America&#8217;s Most Wanted.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_25108\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-25108\" style=\"width: 661px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wp-media.beliefnet.com\/sites\/244\/2013\/05\/Gina-DeJesus-and-friends.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-25108 \" alt=\"Gina DeJesus Montage from Find Georgina DeJesus Web site: http:\/\/findgeorgina.com\/index.htm\" src=\"https:\/\/wp-media.beliefnet.com\/sites\/244\/2013\/05\/Gina-DeJesus-and-friends.jpg\" width=\"661\" height=\"855\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-25108\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Gina&#8217;s family worked diligently to keep the missing girl&#8217;s story before the public media holding candlelight and prayer vigils on birthdays and anniversaries of abduction dates.\u00a0 Of course, the families did not know that the two girls Amanda Berry and Gina had been kidnapped by the same person although they were kidnapped in the same area.\u00a0 The police never gave up looking.\u00a0 The pictures above are from events in Gina&#8217;s life before she was kidnapped.\u00a0 This montage appears on &#8220;Find Georgina DeJesus&#8221; web site &#8211;\u00a0 <a href=\"http:\/\/findgeorgina.com\/index.htm\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/findgeorgina.com\/index.htm<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>Related Stories and Updates<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus, Michelle Knight Found Alive \u2013 May 6, 2013<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Miracle in Cleveland!

He continued that God wasn't important, wasn't real, and our parents just used God to impose restrictions on us because they were inadequate to parent effectively. I knew then I was going to be involved in a war and that I would have to be in Jesus Christ's Army. Even then, I knew the United States of America would cease to exist without the vast majority of its citizens voluntarily submitting to the Perfect and Good Laws of the Holy Bible. I am a woman who loves the Lord Jesus Christ. I am tired of seeing our LORD denigrated from the school house to the White House.
