From the Press conference Read from bottom to top for correct sequence


Police will not be releasing mugs at this point of the Castro brothers.


Chief McGrath some questions may impact the survivor' emotions. So be patient with us as we investigate.

Tomba, a lifelong city resident, said he doesn't have a good answer to how the women remained hidden in the city. He said it is partnership

Tomba said after Amanda came out other women came out once police arrived.

Knight last seen August of 2002 and had lived on Walton Avenue, just streets from Castro's home.

No evidence at this point that girl's knew Castro as a bus drive. They will ask the women more about it.

Stephen Anthony said tips consistently came in but none of them were about the Castro brothers.

Amanda pointed police to the three brothers. Police are relying on the women to provide details but giving them time and space.

Tomba said the police department is mandated to charge the 3 suspects within 36 hours. He said Castro brothers haven't been interviewed yet

What these young girls went though, if you had seen them last night you'd have nothing but love and compassion for them.

Tomba said women seemed to be outwardly in fairly good health. Maybe in need of a good meal.

They did not go deep into questioning last night because of the chaotic situation. The women and child's well-being was most important.

Tomba confirmed the child in the home belonged to Amanda Berry but didn't know yet who the father was. They will question Amanda further

Family members of the Castro's have been interviewed.

Tomba said that the women will have to tell police more about how they were held captive.

Deputy Chief Tomba said "the hero here is Amanda."

Anthony said that trauma and other victim witness specialist and other forensic specialists will be helping.

Anthony said we need to treat the women and their families with the dignity and respect they deserve.

216-522-1400. Anthony asks people to call the FBI with any information to help track events of the last few years.

"Yes law enforcement officials so cry," Stephen Anthony said when talking about police and FBI reactions to the freeing of he women.

"Prayers have finally been answered," for the Berry, Dejesus and Knight families, FBI Stephen Anthony said. "Now the healing begins."

McGrath said the women and child are free due to #amandaberry brave actions.

Chief McGrath said last night was "tremendous news." "To find these girls recovered and well.. Gives a boost it really does."

No indications bystanders or witnesses called about the home Flask said.

January 2004 CPD went to Castro's home as part of Castro's employment as a bus drive. It involved a child left on a bus. He did not answer.

Flask said a 6-year old child and three women were out of the house within minutes of the call an safe.

Safety Director Marty Flask is going through timeline, with calls coming in minutes before 6 pm. Said police got to home within 2 minutes.

"I do want so sat this was a traumatic experience for them," Jackson said.

Jackson said building and housing, Cleveland EMS and Fire have not been to home previously. Police were called there twice, in 2000 and 2004

Jackson said several questions remain about why they were take , how they were taken and how they remained undiscovered in the city.

"We are happy that they have returned to us," mayor jackson

Sgt. Sammy Morris said investigation is sensitive and some questions cannot be answered at this point.

A lot of people are asking if The DeJesus family knew suspect Ariel Castro. Castro's family says the families did know each other.

@marthan I don't know what but members of the Castro family told me they knew the DeJesus family.
