“They were not released, they managed to escape.” The Church of the Kidnapped Missionaries in Haiti tells the details of the night of freedom

They were not released, they fled. At night, guided by the stars and the light of the moon, an 8-month-old baby boy wrapped like a bundle in his clothes, the children silently following holding hands. Eventually, after climbing a mountain they had seen from the hovel where they were locked up, they reached the first inhabited place of Haiti, met a passerby, got the phone, gave the alarm and went free.
