The Cleveland Abductions
Ariel Castro kidnapped Michelle Knight, Amanda Berry, and Georgina DeJesus in the early 2000s, and held them hostage for almost eleven years. Berry even had Castro’s child while she was in captivity. But in 2013, he forgot to lock Berry’s door, which allowed the women and Berry’s daughter to run downstairs and catch the attention of a neighbor named Charles Ramsay. He helped open the front door and Berry called the police. Finally, the three women were freed and reunited with their families.
Steve Carter
Steve Carter found himself in a missing children’s website. He was adopted when he was 4 from a Honolulu orphanage and was curious about his origins. So, when he saw an age progression image of himself on Missingkids.com, he reached out to the Honolulu Police Department. In 2011, DNA testing revealed his name was Marx Panama Moriarty Barnes. His biological father reported him missing 30 years earlier after his mother, Charlotte Moriarty, took him for a walk and never came back.
