"After 3 Cleveland women freed, police face questions" by Thomas J. Sheeran and John Coyne | Associated Press, May 08, 2013
CLEVELAND — One neighbor said a naked woman was seen crawling on her hands and knees in the backyard of the house a few years ago. Another heard pounding on the home’s doors and noticed plastic bags over the windows.
Both times, police showed up but never went inside, neighbors say. Police also paid a visit to the house in 2004, but no one answered the door.
Now, after three women who vanished a decade ago were found captive Monday at the peeling, rundown house, Cleveland police are facing questions for the second time in four years about their handling of missing-person cases and are conducting an internal review to see whether they overlooked anything....
Translation: police must now be let in no matter what. No warrant, no nothing.
The women were reported by police to be in good health and were reunited with family members but remained in seclusion.
‘‘Prayers have finally been answered. The nightmare is over,’’ said Stephen Anthony, head of the FBI in Cleveland. ‘‘These three young ladies have provided us with the ultimate definition of survival and perseverance. The healing can now begin.’’
He added: ‘‘Words can’t describe the emotions being felt by all. Yes, law enforcement professionals do cry.’’
Do they cry when they run false flag operations and shepherd innocent patsies with their instigators, 'er, informants? Or is that all just funny stuff?
************************************
Four years ago, in another poverty-stricken part of town, Cleveland’s police force was heavily criticized following the discovery of 11 women’s bodies in the home and backyard of Anthony Sowell, who was later convicted of murder and sentenced to death.
The families of Sowell’s victims accused police of failing to properly investigate the disappearances because most of the women were addicted to drugs and poor.
For months, the stench of death hung over the house, but it was blamed on a sausage factory next door....

Ariel Castro, 52, was well known in the neighborhood. He played bass guitar in salsa and merengue bands. He gave children rides on his motorcycle and joined others at a candlelight vigil to remember two of the missing girls, neighbors said....
Castro’s son, Anthony Castro, said in an interview with London’s Daily Mail newspaper that he now speaks with his father just a few times a year and seldom visited his house. He said on his last visit, two weeks ago, his father wouldn’t let him inside.
‘‘The house was always locked,’’ he said. ‘‘There were places we could never go. There were locks on the basement. Locks on the attic. Locks on the garage.’’
Now if the police tell you to open it up, you open it up. We see where all this is going.

I'm doing some crying of my own these days. Just sick of the war propaganda in my ma$$ media jewspaper is all.
NEXT DAY UPDATE:
This will make you cry:
Cleveland man charged with 3 women’s kidnapping, rape
I'm already crying because my printed Globe gave me AP.
"Cleveland man charged with 3 women's kidnap, rape" by MEGHAN BARR and THOMAS J. SHEERAN, Associated Press / May 9, 2013
CLEVELAND (AP) — A man suspected of keeping three women captive inside his decrepit house for a decade was charged Wednesday with kidnapping and rape, accused of holding them under conditions so oppressive they were allowed outside for only a few moments in disguise and never saw a chance to escape until this week.
Investigators said the women apparently were bound with ropes and chains, and a city councilman briefed on the case said they were subjected to prolonged sexual and psychological abuse and suffered miscarriages....
The women, now in their 20s and 30s, vanished separately between 2002 and 2004. At the time, they were 14, 16 and 20 years old.
Prosecutors brought no charges against Castro’s two brothers, who were arrested along with him on Monday, saying there was no evidence they had any part in the crime.
Castro owns the run-down home where the women were rescued on Monday after one of them, Amanda Berry, broke through a screen door to freedom while he was away. The discovery electrified Cleveland, where many people had come to believe the missing young women were dead.
Police Deputy Chief Ed Tomba said it was the only opportunity they ever had to escape.
‘‘Something must have clicked, and she saw an opportunity and she took that opportunity,’’ he said....
It's called freedom, and yes, people will fight, scratch, and claw to get it.
Neighbors said that over the years, Ariel Castro, a 52-year-old former school bus driver, took part in the search for one of the women, Gina DeJesus, helped pass out fliers, performed music at a fundraiser for her and attended a candlelight vigil, at which he comforted her mother....
The deputy chief also said there was no evidence to indicate any of the women had been outside without clothes, despite claims from a neighbor who said a naked woman was seen crawling around the backyard.
I'm not going to get angry at yet another case of cop lying in this country, folks. Just wanted you to see it. You witnesses seeing something and saying something? You best not.
Cleveland police have disputed claims by neighbors that officers had been called to the house before for suspicious circumstances. They said nothing in their records supports that.
So who destroyed the files, or is this just another knee-jerk lie because that's all AmeriKan authorities know they have been lying for so long?
Earlier Wednesday....
I love it how the AmeriKan media shift gears and rip into your heartstrings. No need to trouble you about police malfeasance and incompetence when we have such a heroic story on our hands.
