17. Michelle Knight must be one strong woman!!!

Aug 2013

She was at the house last week, but was not allowed inside by authorities. She returned to watch the demolition and release yellow balloons recognizing other missing persons.

Gina Dejesus' mother was onsite and her aunt was with the crane operating at the first strike!

I am simply amazed at the strength of character of these women. And I'm happy to see them gaining even more of that strength and moving forward with their lives. Good for them!!!
