CLEVELAND - After going missing more than 10 years ago, Amanda Berry shouted to a man from a Seymour Avenue house on Monday.
Charles Ramsey and Angel Cordero broke down the door and freed Berry, who was 16 when she disappeared in 2003. Cordero told NewsChannel5's Stephanie Ramirez that he recognized Berry from posters and that she was with a 4 or 5-year-old child.

John Kosich: Walk me through what happened this afternoon. You heard screaming?
Charles Ramsey: Heard screaming, Im eating my McDonalds, I come outside, and I see this girl going nuts, trying to get out of the house. So I go on the porch. I got on the porch and she said Help me get out. Ive been here a long time. I figured it was a domestic violence dispute. So I open the door. And we cant get in that way cause of how the door is, its so much that a body cant fit through; only your hand. So we kicked the bottom. And she comes out with a little girl and she says Call 911. My name is Amanda Berry.
Kosich: Did you know who that was when that?
Ramsey: When she told me, it didnt register. Until I got the call to 911 and then Im like Im calling 911 for Amanda Berry. I thought that girl was dead. You know what I mean? And she got on the phone and she said Yeah, this is me. And the detective Det. Gregory Cook said Charles, do you know who you rescued?
Kosich: And when did you see Gina?
Ramsey: About About five minutes after the police got here. See that girl Amanda, told the police I aint the only one. Theres some more girls up in that house. So they go up in there, 30, 40, deep. And when they came out, it was just astonishing. Cause I thought they would come up with nothing. Like I said my neighbor, you got to have some pretty big testicles to pull this off, bro. Because we see this dude every day. I mean every day.
Kosich: How long have you live here?
Ramsey: Ive been here a year. You see where Im coming from? I barbeque with this dude. We eat ribs and whatnot and listen to salsa music. You see where Im coming from?
Kosich: And you had no indications?
Ramsey: Bro, not a clue that that girl was in that house. Or anybody else was in there against their will. Because how he is. He just comes out to his backyard, plays with the dogs, tinkering with his cars and motorcycles, go back in the house. So hes somebody you look, then look away. Hes not doing anything, but the average stuff. You see what Im saying? Theres nothing exciting about him. Well, until today.
Kosich: What were the reactions on the girls faces? I cant imagine to see the sunlight
Ramsey: Bro, I knew something was wrong when a little, pretty white girl ran into a black mans arms. Something is wrong here. Dead giveaway. Dead giveaway.
