An astonishing story has developed out of Cleveland over the last 24 hours. Three women who were held captive for ten years were found and rescued after a neighbor heard one of them screaming from the door of a house. The neighbor broke down the door and allowed one of the women, Amanda Berry, to call 911. We hear more from Peter Krouse, who's covering the story for the Cleveland Plain Dealer, and psychologist David Wolfe at the University of Toronto.
