Fear paralyzed Amanda Berry and Gina DeJesus during the 10 years that they, along with fellow survivor Michelle Knight, were held captive by Ariel Castro in his Cleveland home. That fear kept them from ever attempting to escape.
“There was always a chance: What if he killed everybody?” DeJesus told ABC's Robin Roberts. Watch the exclusive interview, "Captive: A Journey of Hope and Survival," on a special edition of ABC News' "20/20" HERE.
“You never know until you're in the situation what you're going to do, how you’re going to react,” Berry told Roberts.
Until one day, Berry said, she saw an opportunity to run.
Berry, 29, and DeJesus, 25, were abducted in 2003 and 2004, respectively, as teens. While she was Castro’s prisoner, Berry gave birth to Castro’s daughter, Jocelyn, who is now 8 years old.
For years, the women endured unimaginable abuse as they were chained, starved and tortured by Castro, but they still maintained their strength and kept their hope alive. Then, on May 6, 2013, they finally found the courage and opportunity to make their escape in the most unexpected way: Jocelyn.
