Three young women go missing from the Cleveland area in the early 2000s, all at different times, all from different areas.  Cops have few clues and no solid leads.  After several years, their families are forced to assume they were the victim of a murderer.  Yet the three women burst back to life in 2013, when they ran screaming from a house in a Cleveland suburb where they had been held prisoner all this time.  Who was behind the ghastly crime, what happened to them in their de facto prison, and what was the criminal's ultimate fate?
