The family of an American couple kidnapped in Haiti, they say, is searching for answers. Abigail and Jean-Dickens Toussaint have a 1-year-old son.
"They stopped the bus at a stop and they asked for the Americans on the bus and their escorts to come off the bus and then they took them," Christie told the station.
The family learned about the ransom demands after the friend escorting the Toussaints contacted his relatives, Christie said. "The U.S. Department of State and our embassies and consulates abroad have no greater priority than the safety and security of U.S. citizens overseas," the U.S. Department of State said. "When a U.S. citizen is missing, we work closely with local authorities as they carry out their search efforts, and we share information with families however we can."The two have a 1-year-old son who "is thankfully not with them" but staying with a relative, Nikese Toussaint said.
