Police negligence methinks.

BTW, it doesn't just happen in Cleveland, you'd be surprised if all the crap was revealed.

I imagine people in the neighbourhood were just trying to get through their days... It does not look like the most pleasant place to live.  I read an article that stated a lot of the houses on that particular street are boarded up.  People in the neighbourhood are saying all sorts of things.... not quite as colourful as Mr. Ramsey in the first link.

It's sad to think about what these young girls have had to endure throughout their formative years and how it might affect the rest of their lives. Unfortunately, there are no doubt many others enduring this same kind of torture as we sit here talking about it.     :(

I've lived in my neighborhood for 20 years+ What they do is something I don't know! Thank heavens these women are free now! None of them were over 20 when abducted! I hope those men fry in hell!  My point is you don't know whats going on next door! And this may give hope to some families whose children have been missing for years!

I don't understand how they can be missing for 10 years and then all of a sudden show up.  I know there's an explanation for this, some kind of 'syndrome' where after awhile they become comfortable with their captors and surroundings.  I think we had another one like that a few years ago.

Where is Cleveland Rick when you need him. ? He was here last week.

We used to go down to the Cleveland area  often, when my husb was still alive. It was his hometown, and his children and gr. chlidren and sisters still live in the burbs. I wonder too, why it took 10 years for the police to hear of  those girls. The perps probably had a rap sheet as long as your arm. Seems that when the girls first turned up missing, if the police set some good hound dogs on their trail, he would have found them.
