Who Is Amanda Berry? The True Story Behind Her Kidnapping

Amanda was taken on April 21, 2003, just before she turned 17, while walking home from work.

She, along with Gina DeJesus and Michelle Knight, was kept locked up in Ariel Castro’s house for nearly 10 years.

The women were abused physically and emotionally, and were often locked in rooms and chained.

While in captivity, Amanda had a daughter, whose father was Ariel Castro.

On May 6, 2013, Amanda found a way to escape and called for help, leading to their rescue and Castro’s arrest.

Her escape brought attention to other missing person cases and how law enforcement had missed some clues.

Since her rescue, Amanda has worked to help other missing persons and co-wrote a book about her experience.

 Ariel Castro was sentenced to life in prison, but he died by suicide in his jail cell a month later.
