( CNN ) -- When officers arrived at Ariel Castro 's home in Cleveland , a crowd had formed on the porch . But where was the woman they came for ? Where was Amanda Berry ? Then she stepped forward , holding a crying child . It was really her , the missing girl they had searched for for 10 years . It is Amanda Berry , Officer Michael Tracy said . `` Just the emotion at that point of my partner confirming that it was Amanda ... It was overwhelming , '' Officer Anthony Espada recalled . Source : Michelle Knight was Cleveland suspect 's main 'punching bag ' Cleveland police this week released the emotional video interviews of officers Espada , Tracy and Barbara Johnson , who helped in the May 6 rescue of the three women from Castro 's home . The 11-minute video , which is posted on YouTube , provides the most graphic detail to date of the harrowing rescue . It 's also a rare behind-the-scenes glimpse at the raw emotions of officers involved in the ordeal . Once they had Berry , they wondered who else was in Castro 's home . Was the suspect in there ? They asked Amanda , as the child continued to wail . `` She says yes , Gina DeJesus and another girl , '' Espada said . `` It was like another bombshell with overwhelming force hit me . We immediately started running toward the house . '' When they entered the home , it almost seemed peaceful , Espada recalled . As if nobody else was there . Nobody was in the basement . Nobody was downstairs . How the abductions happened . And then they heard the sound of scurrying feet upstairs . `` It was Michelle ( Knight ) . She kind of popped out into the doorway , '' Espada said , his voice cracking with emotion . `` She came charging . She was like . 'You saved us . You saved us . ' And I am holding on to her so tight . And within a few seconds , I see another girl come out of the bedroom . '' He immediately recognized the girl , Espada said , probably from missing posters that date to 2004 . But she looked thinner than he remembered . He asked the girl to say her name . She said her name was Georgina DeJesus , he recalled . `` It was very overwhelming , '' Espada said . `` It took everything to hold myself together . '' Inside Cleveland 's haunted house . One of the women also jumped into Johnson 's arms , screaming at the female officer . `` She was saying 'please do n't let me go . Please do n't let me go , ' '' Johnson said . `` I said , 'Honey do n't worry , I am not going to let you go . '' Johnson said Espada stared at her with an unreadable expression . We found them , Espada said . `` I ca n't even explain the emotions we felt , '' Johnson said . `` It was just unbelievable . It was surreal . The heaviness in the heart just lifted . '' Castro , 52 , was arrested quickly after that . He is in jail on charges of kidnapping and rape , and is accused of snatching the three women between 2002 to 2004 , and holding them ever since . His attorney has said he plans to plead not guilty .
The first officers to arrive at the scene spoke about the emotional response . ` ` It took everything to pull myself together , '' one officer says . Cleveland Press conducted interviews with the officers involved in the rescue .
