Prisoners for a decade in Cleveland

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, 27; Georgina "Gina" DeJesus, 23; and Michelle Knight, 32, were freed Monday night after Berry attracted the attention of a neighbor who kicked in the door. A 6-year-old girl who is believed to be Berry's daughter was also freed, police said.

"Help me, I am Amanda Berry," the young woman told police in a frantic 911 call from the neighbor's house. "I've been kidnapped, and I've been missing for 10 years. And I'm here, I'm free now."
