Police debrief video reveals first full account of how officers found Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus and Michele Knight

PLEASE don't let me go! Police have released the emotion-filled first account of the rescue of three captives from Cleveland's 'house of horror'.

By the time Cleveland police officers arrived to find Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus and Michele Knight in a run-down inner-city house early this month, such a large emotional crowd had gathered they did not immediately spot the victim they were searching for.

Then Amanda Berry stepped forward, holding a crying child. It was really her, the missing girl they had searched for for 10 years.

"Just the emotion at that point of my partner confirming that it was Amanda It was overwhelming," Officer Anthony Espada recalled in his official police debriefing days after the event.

Cleveland police this week released the emotional video interviews of officers Anthony Espada, Michael Tracy and Barbara Johnson, who helped in the May 6 rescue of the three women from Ariel Castros house where they had been held for more than 10 years.

The video provides the most detailed account yet of the raw emotions behind the rescue.
