You may have heard the story of Amanda Berry. It's been huge news over the past 34 hours. Here's the basics;

Amanda Berry, 27 years old of Cleveland was abducted 11 years ago.  She was held captive in a house owned by Ariel Castro, a retired school bus driver. Amanda was not the only one held captive by Castro.  Gina DeJesus, 27, and Michele Knight were also held prisoner by this nutbag. Police said they had twice been called to the house, once in 2000 and again in 2004, after the women had vanished.

In recent years they had dug up two yards in Cleveland looking for the women's remains.

Cops said they had routinely received tips about Berry and DeJesus who disappeared as teenagers, but none had led them to the Castro house. Berry went missing at 16 in 2003 while on her way home from a job at Burger King. DeJesus went missing when she was 14, a year later while walking home from school.

Amanda Berry managed to get to a phone and call 9-1-1, which started the road to the girls freedom.

Neighbor Charles Ramsey said that he was eating at McDonald's when he heard a girl screaming and begging for help. Only because this story has a happy ending would I post this video of Mr.Ramsey.  it has since gone viral and may rival Sweet Brown for hilarity.

Give it about 2 minutes and I can almost promise you will lol!
