Chains and bondage were found in the basement of the home, a source told reporter Paul Kiska of Cleveland NBC affiliate WKYC.

WKYC reporter Scott Taylor tweeted, citing a police source, that one of the women was chained to a wall "like some kind of trophy" at one point. Taylor also says the three women were chained up for years by the waist and neck.

Police sources also said the three missing Cleveland women found alive yesterday were beaten and forced to have sex with their captors, resulting in as many as five pregnancies.

Charles Ramsey, the neighborhood man who discovered Amanda Berry, told WKYC that he saw the alleged kidnappers every day.

Three brothers have been arrested in connection with the abductions.

"This is our own backyard," Charlie Czorba, a Seymour Avenue resident of 25 years, told The Cleveland Plain Dealer. "These girls were locked up in our own backyard."
