One of the three woman who survived being raped and held captive for more than a decade in a Cleveland home announced on Tuesday that she is married.
Michelle Knight made the announcement to Dr. Phil McGraw on an episode of Dr. Phil schedule to air on April 24.

Knight's appearance on Dr. Phil will run before the May 1 release of her new memoir, Life After Darkness: Finding Healing and Happiness After the Cleveland Kidnappings.
