Michelle Knight wanted to kiss the ground after rescue from Castro 'hellhole', More police officers to be investigated over link with paedophile Jimmy Savile

Michelle Knight wanted to kiss the ground after rescue from Castro 'hellhole'

(CNN) -- Michelle Knight squeezes her eyes shut and cries as she listens to the 911 call that led police to rescue her from the house where Ariel Castro held her hostage for more than a decade.

In the recording, fellow captive Amanda Berry begs police to come quickly, before Castro gets home.

"Help me, I'm Amanda Berry," she says. "I've been kidnapped and I've been missing for 10 years. And I'm here, I'm free now."

That frantic call six months ago finally brought authorities to the Cleveland home where Berry, Knight and Gina DeJesus had been Castro's prisoners.

The moment when police rescued them, Knight recalled in an interview broadcast Wednesday on the syndicated "Dr. Phil" talk show, was a "roller coaster of mixed emotion."

"I wanted to kiss the ground that I was walking on and thank God for letting me get out of that hellhole," Knight told host Dr. Phil McGraw....

More police officers to be investigated over link with paedophile Jimmy Savile

MORE police officers are set to be investigated over their links to paedophile Jimmy Savile, we can reveal.
By Jonathan Corke Published 10th November 2013

Ex-West Yorkshire Police inspector Mick Starkey, 61, is already under investigation over claims he acted “on behalf” of Savile during another force’s child sex abuse probe.

But today we can disclose further ­officers from West Yorkshire – Savile’s local force – may be quizzed.

We have learned that, as well as ­passing the Starkey allegations to the ­Independent Police Complaints ­Commission (IPCC), the force has made another referral.

The IPCC told us it involves “a number of different officers” who had contact with the prolific child sex offender.

A recent review by WYP found at least eight former or serving officers had attended a Friday Morning Club which the pervert held at his penthouse ­apartment in Roundhay, Leeds.

It established that most were invited by Starkey or another officer, known as “Sergeant B”.

Four of the eight were said to have attended just once, while the other four “attended on a regular basis over a number of years”....

As we revealed last year, Savile had pals in several forces, including the Metropolitan Police.

Last week the IPCC asked Sussex Police to refer the conduct of two ­detectives over their handling of an ­indecent assault claim against him in 2008.

It is claimed police told Savile’s victim his lawyers would make “mincemeat” of her in court.

The probe – Operation Baseball – ended with Savile evading justice.

The IPCC said it has requested further information from the Met and Surrey Police about their dealings with Savile.

Surrey’s two-year investigation into Savile also ended in him escaping justice over three claims....
