Ten years after the Miracle
Ten years after the Miracle in Cleveland, Michelle Knight, who now goes by Lily Rose Lee, says she is happy and proud of the woman she’s become after being tortured by her captor Ariel Castro on Cleveland’s Seymour Avenue. Even through the house of horrors, she tells 3News' Laura Caso that she has found hope after torture and her true passion in life.
Her backyard is her safe haven – it is the place where she finds her happiness.
“I wasn’t able to look at the sky or the grass or flowers or watch the animals move about [for a decade and] being in this ambiance is pure joy,” said Lily Rose.
Ten years ago, Lily Rose says she couldn’t even dream of the peace she has found today. She was kidnapped at 21-years-old along with Amanda Berry and Gina De Jesus. The three young girls spent 11 years being tortured by their kidnapper Ariel Castro until the escape on May 6th, 2013.
Before that, Lily Rose says she tried to escape at least six times.
“If I wasn’t chained up…the door was definitely locked to the point when I couldn’t get out [and] if he did the leave the door unlocked…there was always a gun waiting for me,” said Lily Rose. “Some days, I’d ask God if this is the only thing for me then please let me go because sometimes I couldn’t take it…but knowing that I was going to get out, kept me going.”
Lily Rose says the day that she escaped was the day her life started.
“I was 32 years old when I was rescued, and I tell everybody that – that is when my life began. For me it feels like a new journey every time and I’m moving forward.”
