Summary:
Six months after be set free from the "house of horrors" where Ariel Castro held her captive for 11 years, Cleveland kidnapping victim Michelle Knight is finally speaking out. "I was tied up like a fish" she said "like an ornament on the wall." Throughout her interview with Dr.Phil she describes how Castro hung her by her neck feet and arms. Knight also described how Castro taped her mouth shut with duct tape, and she tells McGraw she once picked a lock to try to escape, drawing an ominous warning from Castro: "Now you're gonna be punished." Knight, Amanda Berry and Gina DeJesus were freed from Castro's Cleveland home in May, drawing national attention to the horrific case. The dramatic rescue came after neighbors heard Berry's cries and broke down a door. McGraw said Knight was chained around the neck and waist with a motorcycle helmet on her head. She was left there for days at a time, Mcgraw said, adding that Knight told him she couldn't lie down because the chain was too short. So she would just lean and wait until she passed out from fatigue. She said she was in shock for being taken and all she could do was beg him to take her back to her son. Knight, 32, was 21 years old when she was reported missing in 2002. In August, Castro was sentenced to life in prison plus 1,000 years after he pleaded guilty to 937 counts, including murder and kidnapping. He committed suicide in his prison cell in September.
Analysis:
This story is so heart touching. I can't even imagine what those three girls went through. It's so sad to know how people can be so cold hearted. It makes me so happy that they're able to live a normal life again and be happy despite the hell they went throughout these last 11 years.
thats awful im glad they were saved from those horrific circumstances
