friday night. [ laughter ] >> bret: no pants. thanks for inviting us into your home. that's it for "special report," fair, balanced and unafraid. >> shepard: this is the fox report. tonight, another major milestone for your money. the dow closes above 15,000 for the first time ever. and the historic highs are not just about the dow. more on that. plus the day's other news. but first from fox this tuesday night. for the first time in years, three women who went missing in cleveland are home with their families as fox reports tonight. after rough lay decade as hostage, living a nightmare, police say trapped and held captive in their kidnapper's home. amanda barry, gina dejesus and knight disappeared between 2002 and 2004. police have spent years

searching for them. their faces were all over the news. two of their cases even appeared on america's most wanted and now we know those missing women were right there all along in cleveland. apparently in the house you see in the cube behind me. police have now arrested three men. the castro brothers seen here. ages 50 to 54. one of them owns that house. folks in the area report they have called the police to that home over the years. one neighbor says he wants heard pounding from inside the house. another says her daughter once saw a naked woman crawling in the backyard. she says police didn't take her report seriously. another man says he heard screams in the street. i talked to him today. the man says he has known aerial castro for 22 years. said he never had any clue about what was happening in that home. >> always happy and smiled, so he had that perfect mask where he hid the monster

very well. >> shepard: hid the monster very well. who else but a monster would keep women captive locked away from all who loved them. they are free from their captor's grip. photo of reuniting with sister at the hospital. amanda barry is in the white shirt here. look at the emotion on their faces. police say amanda barry had a 6-year-old girl with her when she escaped. her daughter, that's what police say. the father, no word yet. only horribly ugly and frightening speculation. we should get answers in the days ahead. yesterday, all this started to unfold with amanda barry herself. she vanished the day before her 17th birthday in 2003. and until she called 911 last night, there was no way to know whether she was alive or dead.

>> shepard: barry told police she had escaped from the house where she was captive but she didn't have much time. >> talk to the police when they get there. >> okay. are they on their way right now? >> as soon as we get a car open. >> no, i need them now before he gets back. >> all right. we are sending them. okay? >> okay. >> shepard: a neighbor, charles ramsey says he watched the whole thing go down. called 911 himself. >> i just came from mcdonald's, right, my food, right? this broad is trying to break out of the house next door to me. she is [bleep] me and my daughter and we have been in this [bleep] she said her name was linda barry or something. >> shepard: he told reporters how he helped barry escape. >> i looked and seen this girl. she is just going nuts on the door. if you are stuck, just open the door.

she said i can't he got it locked. i looked how he has it only enough to reach your hand out to grab the mail and close the door. pry it open. that didn't work. we had to kick open the bottom. luckily on that door it was aluminum it was cheap. >> shepard: he also says he knows the homeowner well. i barbecue with this dude. we eat rib and listen to salsa music. >> had you no indication that there was nothing going on. >> not a clue that that girl was in that house or anybody else was in there against their will. >> shepard: today, a relative said all three women have survived so much. she thanked god for bringing them home. >> if you don't believe in miracles, i suggest you think again. >> shepard: even hardened investigators overwhelmed by the news. >> as you can imagine, words can't describe the emotions being felt by all. >> yes law enforcement professionals do cry. >> shepard: there were a lot of tears today of happiness and relief and questions about what those

women have endured and what's going to happen to the suspects accused of keeping them captive. get, this tonight our affiliated fox 8 for cleveland is reporting investigators at the home are looking specifically for evidence of bodily fluids related to births. we have not yet independently confirmed that. we do have team fox coverage. jonathan hunt on the victims. first to rick leventhal live in cleveland. rick, it's my standing the fbi has been all over that house today. >> right, shepard. the fbi's evidence response team has been on scene for several hours now wearing those white protective suits. they are working out of the blue van you see in the driveway. they have been going in and out of the house. apparently documenting the apparent horrors inside and collecting evidence that could be used to charge the three castro brothers as soon as tomorrow. we're told they're also searching several other locations. aerial castro, the 52-year-old former school bus driver who apparently owns the home is being held at the county central prison with his older

brother pedro and younger brother o'neil. all three suspected of playing some role in kidnapping and sexually assaulting the three rescued women for a decade or more. their uncle runs a grocery store on the corner and says the news comes as a shock. >> i came over and police what happening? they said it can't be that's my nephew's house. it can't be. it's impossible. >> one neighbor told me the castro never opened a window or let a breeze flow through the house. always came in and out through the back. he would see him a couple times during the day early in the morning bringing in a back of mcdonald's and after the shift school bus driver bringing in another bag of mcdonald's. rick? >> shepard: rick, a year after amanda barry disappeared. she went on montel williams show asked silea brown. i just hate this. she is not alive, honey. less than two years later now, amanda barry's mother

was dead. the council woman who knew the mother said she literally died of a broken hart. -- heart. nearly seven years later police are calling amanda barry the real hero for finally escaping that house and calling 911. this is her picture from 2002. one year before she first went missing at the age of 16. after she left the burger king where she worked. team fox coverage continues now with jonathan hunt. the chief fox report correspondent. and we're learning more jonathan about one disturbing coincidence in this case. >> very disturbing coincidence, shep. it concerns gina dejesus, she disappeared on april 2nd, 2004. in the wake of her disappearance, the show "america's most wanted," interviewed a girl that claimed that she was gina's best friend and that she was the last person to see her before she disappeared. that girl's name aline castro.

she is the daughter of the chief suspect aerial castro. here is her interview on "america's most wanted." >> call my mom and so my mom said no, that i can't go over to her house. and so i told her i couldn't. and she said well, okay. i will talk to you later. and she -- >> now, again, that arlene castro, the daughter of the main suspect aerial castro. one question we haven't yet answered is where was that interview shot? were they even in the house where gina dejesus and the others were held for so many years, shep? >> shepard: we have heard a lot about amanda berry and gina dejesus. what about the third woman a woman who we don't have a picture named michelle knight. >> michelle knight was the first of the three to go missing. she disappeared on august 23rd, 2002 now as we know all three of them

disappeared in the same area of cleveland. michelle night's case didn't get the attention the other two did. partly because some of her own family members and the cops thought that she was a run away rather than the victim of a crime. we should also point out that a fourth girl also went missing in that same area. her name is ashley summers. she disappeared in 2007. she was 14 at the time. she has not been seen since 2007. and the name of ashley summers, one imagines is one that cops will be bringing up in their interviews with the castro brothers. shep? >> shepard: jonathan hunt live for us tonight. the suspect aerial castro, the main one who owns that house actually attended vigils for the missing women. that accusation from the cousin of one of the victims. >> if i can recall, i seen them twice. and i mean, go through the footage of all the vigils that they were there, i seen him twice there.

>> shepard: according to the cousin the suspect stood at vigils for people praying for those missing women and he had them locked up inside his house the whole time. more on this later in this newscast. there may be no better time to check the retirement plan because the dow has done something it has never done before. and that's not the only major index that's making huge move. gerri willis will be here from the fox business network. plus, that deadly explosion that leveled much of a down in texas. it appears we now know what is to blame. and congress is reportedly considering hearings to-to-see if somebody dropped the ball on a very busy news night from the journalists of fox news. this is the fox report. , the wright brothers became the first in flight.

never seen before. the dow ending up above 15,000. climbed to 87 today. apparently on big earnings in european markets. look at the dow's gains this year. it's up 15% since january. that's made up for all of the losses since the financial crisis started in 2007. the s&p also closed at another new record high. up 8 today to 1626. meantime, if you have been thinking of selling your house, i have very good news. it looks like it could be time to make a move. real estate research form called core logic reports home prices went up 10.5% in march over the previous year. that is the 13th straight month of gains and the biggest jump in prices we have seen in seven years. incredible. the fox business network's gerri willis is here with all the good news. what's driving up home prices? >> the main thing and i hate to burst your bubble inventory. fewer houses on the market

some 17% from last year. fewer houses price goes up. fewer people putting their houses on the market. here is what is behind those numbers. in 46 states year over year prices have increased 46 of 50. 11 of those states prices went up double digits. the leading states nevada, california, arizona, idaho and oregon seeing prices across the board in almost all of the states. that is good news. this is one of those cycles that builds on itself. if prices start going up, the housing market recovers, more people get jobs, more people buy houses, more people get jobs. it goes on and on and on. >> shepard: make it so. >> i will do what i can. i'm sort of limited. >> shepard: watching it, it feels good. >> absolutely. >> shepard: hopefully it's real. >> yes. >> shepard: thank you, gerri. >> thank you. >> shepard: investigators in texas say ingredient in fertilizer is indeed what caused last month's deadly explosion south of dallas. a chemical called ammonium nitrate we have all heard of it. they say they still don't know why texas employed

with the force of a small earthquake. [explosion] >> shepard: that blast killed 14 people, injured some 200 more. among them, several firefighters and other first responders. the blast damaged or destroyed dozens of homes and blew out windows miles away. officials say the ammonium nitrate can be highly volatile when mixed with other chemicals. in fact, it was an ingredient in the bombing of oklahoma city. now a senate panel hearings to determine whether regulatory gaps could have contributed to this tragedy. it's official. the suspect in the colorado movie theater massacre intends to plead not guilty by reason of insanity. learned that today as his attorneys broke the news to a court. this marks a change from his original plea which was simply not guilty. so if the judge accepts an insanity plea, then doctors at state mental hospital will evaluate the suspect

to find out if he was insane at the time of the shootings because that's what's matters. james holmes killed 12 people and injured dozens more when he he opened fire at the batman movie. that was last july in aurora. the judge set to rule on the defense's request next week. keep in mind that even if doctors determine the suspect was insane, a jury could still find the suspect guilty. the pentagon releasing a very important report on sexual assaults in the u.s. military and it's stunning. it seems the vast majority of cases go unreported. and it all comes just one day after we learned the officer in charge of the air force's sexual assault prevention program is under arrest for sexual assault. plus, tomorrow is set to be a big day into the investigation of terror attack consulate in again gaze, -- benghazi. preview what's coming up on capitol hill and reaction from the woman set to become next ambassador to

listen. said i can't. looked how he has it only enough to reach your hand out and grab the mail and close the door. we, you know, naturally going it pry it open. that didn't work. so we had to kick open the bottom, lucky that door was aluminum it was cheap. she climbed out with her daughter. >> amanda berry and her 6-year-old daughter ran across the street and called 911. charles ramsey also called 911. police showed up a couple minutes later and escorted the other women out of that house. ramsey says he has lived there for one year. he sees the owner of the house, aerial castro, a suspect, every data barbecued with him. ate ribs with him and listened to salsa music with him. had no indication anyone else lived there. >> bro, not a clue that that girl was in that house or anybody else was in there against their will. because how he is, is owe -- he just comes out to his backyard lays with his

dogs and motorcycles. go back in the house you look and look away he is not doing nothing but the average stuff. you see what i'm saying? there is noe nothing exciting about him -- well, until today. >> until today. ramsey says he didn't know who the women were until an investigator explained the whole story to him, shep? >> shepard: trace, thank you. one of the suspects was in a band. former band mate now says he has been in that house where we now know those women were allegedly locked up. he says he played in various bands with aerial castro for nearly 20 years. and that back in 2011, the band mate says he sold the suspect a washer/dryer and other stuff and helped him carry it into his house. today on "studio b" i asked him if he remembered seeing anything weird. >> no. pretty much musicians home, you have your regular furniture. instruments kind of likes a decorations as well. i just went to the front like the living room area. it is not a really huge house from what i saw on

the inside. but i did -- i was in his house the first few years that i met him to rehearse. but it had changed a little bit. i think he must have remodeled or something over the years. >> shepard: remodeled, huh, like what had changed? >> it looked a lot cleaner. i would have never known. he never came off as that kind of guy. >> shepard: a band mate of a suspect. who said this suspect recently showed him a picture of an infant, the infant the suspect claims is his grandchild. the discovery of those three women is a reminder to police and a source of hope for anguished parents and families everywhere that there are other abducted children adoes the country who could be very much alive. eric shawn with a look back at some other cases that have similar dramatic endings. he is live in our new york city newsroom. eric? >> well, shep, they went through the same thing, gone. when others feared they could be dead. tonight two former captives have advice for the families of those not yet found. they say always have hope.

10:00 in syria, the regime apparently pulled the plug. there is no internet in that country right now, several online monitoring companies report the exact same thing. what does that mean? well, when people who kill their own people turn off the internet, the news is rarely good. and today in moscow, the secretary kerry announced that the u.s. and russia agree that there must be some sort of political transition in syria or the situation will only get worse. >> the alternative is that there is even more violence. the alternative is that syria heads closer abyss if not over the abyss and into chaos. the alternative is that the humanitarian crisis will grow. and at alternative is that there may be even a break-up of syria. >> shepard: of course, russia does not want the breakup of syria. does not want the townhouse arm the rebel groups. secretary john kerry today reiterated that president

obama has not taken any options off the table. ed henry is here with this complicated mess. ed, the president is -- well, seems playing a little defense on his approach to syria. >> he was. he had a news conference today where he got a question about whether is he going to intervene more directly. it's a question about the red line that the president put out there last august suggesting there would be more dramatic u.s. intervention if, in fact, president assad in syria used chemical weapons against his own people. since there is evidence that he has done that. there has been an expectation around the world the u.s. will get more involved. the president insisting today he needs more evidence before he moves forward with any sort of potential military action. and he noted the takedowns of usama bin laden and muammar qaddafi to say he is willing to take assad out of power if it's necessary. take a listen. >> in the end, whether it's bin laden or qaddafi, if we say we're taking a position, i would think at this point the international community has a pretty good sense that he

we typically follow through on our commitments. >> the president again saying today at that news conference he wants to make sure the evidence is rock solid that, in fact, chemical weapons have been used in syria. citing the example of the war in iraq and w.m.d.s, shep. >> shepard: curing this news -- -- during this news conference tough talk. >> the president was meeting first time really series of meetings with the south korean president. and even though north korea yesterday sort of back pedaled a little bit, took some missiles off a launch site, suggesting they are lowering the temperatures on things. the new south korean president basically said at the news conference at the white house if north korea attacks south korea they will pay for that. take a listen. >> so if north korea engages in provocation, i will fully trust the judgment of our military, so if our military makes a judgment which they feel is the right thing, then they

should act accordingly. >> now, the tough talk continuing at the pentagon today. defense secretary chuck hagel saying the u.s. and our allies are prepared for any contingency to deal with north korea. he said he hopes that north korea realizes the peaceful option is the way to go. they are talking tough but they are still hopeful there is not going to be a confrontation with north korea. shep. >> shepard: ed henry at the white house for us. thanks. strange politics. the sister of ad comedian vs. a former governor in a special election for a open seat in the house of representatives. we could have results at any moment from south carolina. plus, the new jersey governor chris christie. he loves the media, doesn't he? today he announced he has undergone surgery secret and it no doubt means that the late night comedians will have a lot less material. that's ahead. and tea parties. i'll have more awkward conversations
