Updated 11:26 p.m. CLEVELAND Three women who went missing separately about a decade ago, when they were in their teens or early 20s, were found alive Monday in a residential area just south of downtown, and three men -- all brothers -- were arrested. One of the women told a 911 dispatcher the person who had taken her was gone, and she pleaded for police officers to come and get her, saying, "I'm free now." Cheering crowds gathered Monday night on the street near the home where police said Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus and Michele Knight were found earlier in the day. Police didn't immediately provide any details of how the women were found but said they appeared to be in good health and had been taken to a hospital to be reunited with relatives and to be evaluated. CBS affiliate WOIO reports Berry was found with a 6-year-old girl, her daughter. On a recorded 911 call Monday, Berry declared, "I'm Amanda Berry. I've been on the news for the last 10 years. She said she had been taken by someone and begged for police officers to arrive at the home on Cleveland's west side before he returned. "I've been kidnapped, and I've been missing for 10 years," she told the dispatcher. And I'm here. I'm free now. Amanda Berry, right, with her sister in a Cleveland hospital Monday, May 6, 2013.They are at bedside of Amanda's si-xyear-old daughter, not seen here. WOIO reports one of the brothers who was arrested is a 52-year-old Cleveland City Schools bus driver. Officials said charges would come within the next 36 hours. They were found just a few miles from where they had gone missing. Police said Knight was 20 when she went missing around 2000. Dozens of police officers and sheriff's deputies remained at the scene late Monday awaiting a warrant to search the building where the women and the child were found. Loved ones said they hadn't given up hope of seeing the women again. Among them was Kayla Rogers, a childhood friend of DeJesus. "I've been praying, never forgot about her, ever," Rogers told The Plain Dealer newspaper. This is amazing. This is a celebration. I'm so happy. I just want to see her walk out of those doors so I can hug her. Berry's cousin Tasheena Mitchell told the newspaper she couldn't wait to have Berry in her arms. "I'm going to hold her, and I'm going to squeeze her and I probably won't let her go," she said. Berry's mother, Louwana Miller, who had been hospitalized for months with pancreatitis and other ailments, died in March 2006. She had spent the previous three years looking for her daughter, whose disappearance took a toll as her health steadily deteriorated, family and friends said. Mayor Frank Jackson expressed gratitude that the three women were found alive. "We have many unanswered questions regarding this case, and the investigation will be ongoing," he said in a statement. At Metro Health Medical Center, Dr. Gerald Maloney declined to go into details about the women's conditions. "We're assessing their needs, and the appropriate specialists are evaluating them as well," he said at a news conference, which concluded with a round of applause from a large gathering of area residents. In January, a prison inmate was sentenced to 4 1/2 years after admitting he provided a false burial tip in the disappearance of Berry, who had last been seen the day before her 17th birthday.
