1. THREE LONG-MISSING WOMEN RESCUED IN CLEVELAND

Three women who disappeared separately a decade ago were rescued from a Cleveland home on Monday. A neighbor freed the first woman — Amanda Berry, who disappeared on the eve of her 17th birthday in 2003 — after hearing her cries for help. Police then went to the house and found Georgina "Gina" DeJesus, who vanished in 2004 at 14, and Michelle Knight, who went missing in 2002, when she was 19. Police later arrested a 52-year-old former school bus driver, Ariel Castro, and two others, reportedly his brothers. [CNN]
