said yes, this is me. the girl amanda told the police, i ain t just the only one. it s both girls up in that house. so they go on up there, you know, 30, 40 and when they came out was just astonishing. police moved in swarming the house, rescuing women. they arrested a 52-year-old former school bus driver who lives there, ariel castro. they also arrested his two brothers. they made some statements to the responding officers that gave us enough probable cause to affect their arrest. the rescued women were taken to a nearby hospital and checked out. a photo of a beaming amanda berry and her sister appeared on facebook. currently they re safe. we re in the process of evaluating their medical needs. they appear to be in fair condition at the moment. this is really good, because this isn t the ending we usually get to these stories so we re very happy. reporter: that sense of happiness and relief shared by police. it s a great it s a great
that this girl would be found alive. i imagine right now he s going through hell and thinking could my father and my uncles be the kidnappers and jailers of these people? i m sure he can t even fathom it. i want to play something for you. we talked to a neighbor, somebody who has known ariel castro for 18 years. you made a good point. these kind of guys are not in a trench coat underneath a bridge somewhere. they are living in your neighborhood. list listen. i ve been here 33 years. i knew the guy for 18 years. that would be the last thing we would expect in our neighborhood. we re like a big old family right here. for him to drive a school bus, we never thought that. it s a good thing that the girls are home. what do you think about that
cartwheels. it is just phenomenal and there are two real heroes here. amanda is a hero for seeing that tiny window when one of those three perverts weren t there, taking that chance, risking her life, risking her daughter s life, and getting to that door, and the real hero of the day is charles ramsey. i ve been doing america s most wanted 25 years. and i ask the public to make a difference, to have the guts, don t turn your back. charles ramsay said look, i m a black man, it was a white woman, i thought it might be a domestic abuse case. what did he do? he got up on that porch, he kicked that door in, he dragged her out of that door with that little girl and got her to a cell phone. a real hero. and it is it s a fantastic, fantastic ending for those families. yeah. it s just it s the best ending. it really is. john i want to listen to a little bit of what chuck ramsey and one of his other neighbors called him, describing ariel castro as someone who interacted with his neig

and if what they knew about his home could have helped save them. israel lugo was ariel castro s neighbor for years. he joins us now. mr. lugo, very nice to have you with us. thank you. we say that you lived in the neighborhood for a long time. how long have you lived there, and did you imagine anything like this was going on next door? well, ma am, i been here for 33 years. i knew the guy for 18 years and that would be the last thing you would expect in our neighborhood. for him to have a school bus and park it off on the side of the road every day for three hours we never thought nothing of it you know what i m saying? but more to see. you told me in 2011 you saw something kind of strange at ariel castro s house yes. and you called the police. tell me about that. yes. well, i i think back like november of 2011, there was incident when my niece my sister
