“That's the best phone call I've ever gotten. It was just very, very early this morning and he called and said that he was free, and I said that's just our prayers were answered.”
“I want to thank all of those who were involved in my rescue - to those who continuously tracked my captors and location, and to those who physically brought me freedom today. To all of you, I will be forever grateful. Both of us are in good health and look forward to returning to our respective families. Thank you to all who kept me and my family in their thoughts and prayers.”
