Charles Ramsey Says Give Any Reward Money To Kidnapping Victims - Anderson Cooper Interview
Tonight on AC360°, Charles Ramsey – the man who freed Amanda Berry, Georgina DeJesus and Michele Knight, spoke with Anderson Cooper.
Ramsey tells Cooper that his neighbor of about a year was "cool, he was no freak of nature" but yesterday he heard a girl scream "like a car had hit her kid." Amanda Berry told him "I've been trapped in here and he won't let me out. It’s me and my baby." Berry, he tells Cooper "was well-groomed. She didn't look like she was kidnapped… That's what threw me off."
Ramsey says he doesn't feel like a hero, and when asked about a rumored reward, he shows Cooper his paycheck and says "give it to them (the girls)."

Bro, I'm a Christian, an American, and just like you. We bleed same blood, put our pants on the same way. It's just that you got to put that - being a coward, and I don't want to get in nobody's business. You got to put that away for a minute.
RAMSEY: See, that's why now I'm having trouble sleeping. See, up until yesterday, the only thing that kept me from losing sleep was the lack of money. See what I'm saying? So now that that's going on, and I could have done this last year, not this hero stuff, just do the right thing

COOPER: Has the FBI said anything about a reward or anything? Because there was that - there was a reward for finding her.
RAMSEY: I tell you what you do, give it to them. Because if folks been following this case since last night, you been following me since last night, you know I got a job anyway. Just went picked it up, paycheck. What that address say? That say?
COOPER: I don't have my glasses. I'm blind as a bat.
RAMSEY: 2203 Seymour. Where are them girls living? Right next door to this paycheck. So yes, take that reward and give it to -that little girl came out the house and she was crying.
