Cleveland ( CNN ) -- Michelle Knight was rescued last week from more than 10 years in captivity , but her family still does n't know exactly where she is . There were joyous reunions for Amanda Berry and Gina DeJesus after they were freed from the Cleveland home where police say Ariel Castro held them captive . But a level of mystery surrounds Michelle Knight , who was rescued along with the others , but who has apparently not been reunited with her family . Even as of Friday night , Knight had n't spoken yet with her mother , Barbara , a family spokesperson said . In fact , Knight 's family had no idea where she was and had asked police for information on her whereabouts . Castro , a 52-year-old bus driver and musician , faces charges of rape and kidnapping in connection with the prolonged captivity of the women . What little is known about Knight 's whereabouts comes from a source close to the investigation , who told CNN that Knight `` is in a safe place and very comfortable . '' The source did not specify further . There were reports that Knight was at the DeJesus home , and there was a lot of activity there Saturday morning , but Knight was not there . Her grandmother , Deborah Knight , had gone to the same home on Friday because she 'd also heard Knight might be there and `` besides , Gina 's parents here have been waiting to meet us . '' Other questions surround Knight , whose disappearance generated far less publicity and attention than did those of Berry and DeJesus . Cleveland police removed Knight 's name from an FBI database of missing people in November 2003 -- 15 months after her family reported her missing -- police said . They did so after `` failing to locate a parent , guardian or other reporting person to confirm that Ms. Knight was still missing . '' Police said , though , that her missing person 's case remained open and was checked on as recently as November 2012 . Cleveland police have been subject to intense criticism from some quarters over their handling of missing persons cases , but city officials have said they did everything they could to find the missing women . Knight was discharged from Cleveland 's MetroHealth Medical Center , hospital spokeswoman Tina Shaerban-Arundel said Friday , hours after the hospital said in a Facebook posting that she was in `` good spirits '' and `` extremely grateful '' for the flowers , gifts and the support of the Cleveland Courage Fund . The latter is a vehicle for raising that helps nonprofit organizations provide services to the three women . Berry and DeJesus were released days ago and are now staying with relatives . The Cleveland public relations firm of Hennes Paynter Communication is representing all three women , said Barbara Paynter of that company . Paynter said that her firm of crisis management specialists is working pro bono after being `` asked to help them out , '' joining a team of like-minded individuals that includes lawyers and counselors . The rescued women , none of whom have spoken publicly since being freed , are set to issue a full statement at 10 a.m. Sunday , according to Paynter . According to initial police report , the women told investigators that they were chained in the basement of the home , but later moved upstairs to rooms on the second floor . They were allowed out of the home only twice , and then just briefly , according to the document . Castro would frequently test the women by pretending to leave and then discipline any of them if they had moved , according to a law enforcement source . Meanwhile , the FBI is continuing the process of sealing off and boarding up the areas near the home of the alleged captor that they have checked for evidence . On Saturday morning they were boarding up and closing off an abandoned house to the right of Castro 's home . The abandoned house had been searched Thursday , and authorities were seen removing evidence from that home . The neighbors continued to express their shock to learn that three girls were prisoners so near to their own homes . No one imagined that Castro could have been living a double life . `` This dude was cool , I 'm telling you , '' Charles Ramsey , a neighbor hailed as a hero for helping Amanda Berry escape , told radio host Rock Newman of WE-ACT Radio on Saturday . `` This type of cat you 'd put in your car ... just because you want someone to talk to , '' Ramsey said . `` You will ride him around and waste gas with this dude .
