    Looks like it's 3 women but one hasn't been named.

    A bit like the Jaycee Dugard case.

    Yeah, possibly the third is a lady called Michelle Knight. Makes you wonder how much of this sort sort of thing goes on undiscovered. Horrible. :(

    Can you imagine being in those women's situations :(

    Like Christopher Hitchens said, how can some people still believe in a 'god' after knowing such horrors.

    This is fascinating and I'm sure more of these sort of cases will come to light.

    Isn't everything got to do with 'god' if real? That s/he plans everything, what's the point of that abduction?

    Everyone has free will. Stop blaming God

    He knows what's going to happen before it happens but humans can do what they, good or bad

    I hope he gives me the heads up if someone's gonna make off with me. My free will would be not to be tossed in a pit. Ta :)

    Omniscience and free will are incompatible.

    Mentally ill people often don't have free will.

    I recall a case from China in which a man murdered women in his dungeon whilst people watched via webcam.

    All kinds of nasty things going on in the world. Whether it be in rich nations or not.

    Yes the third is Michelle Knight.

    Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus, and Michele Knight.

    This is fantastic news.:)

    Top marks for turning the thread into the usual religiobash. :yawn:

    Great news. Here's hoping the girls can now lead a normal life.

    A girl named Ashley Summers went missing in 2007 a few blocks from where Amanda Berry was last seen in 2004. I hope they find her soon.

    I'm amazed how the authorities in America allow people to get so close to the scene, witnesses to be interviewed by the press, and the 911 tapes to be released so early.
    Considering the seriousness of the situation and the fact 3 men have been arrested, you would think preserving the evidence would be very important.

    Jeez, this thread is nothing to do with the existence of a God or otherwise. Why try to turn it into the usual DS anti-religion circle wank? There is always at least one thread (and usually more) on the front page of General Discussion at any given time for that sort of thing.

    3 brothers. This is turning into some story here. Be prepared from some pretty lurid accounts being revealed over the coming days.
