American tourist Kimberly Sue Endicott and her tour guide Jean Paul Mirenge, who were recently abducted in Queen Elizabeth National Park in Uganda, have been found alive
An American woman and her safari guide who were kidnapped in a Ugandan wilderness park and held five days by armed captors were returned safely on Sunday after a ransom was paid for their release, authorities said.
"I heard our secretary of state get on there and say we don't pay ransom. OK, fine. Then get the Navy SEALS, get them on a plane and go save her. Don't pay ransom. I'm good with that. But he didn't say any of those things, and maybe they're doing those things, but who knows?" he said. An ABC News crew at the park saw Ugandan military aircraft and at least six military helicopters land at a nearby airport, and soldiers in military vehicles speeding in and out of a park entrance.
Endicott and Mirenge Remezo were out on an evening safari expedition with a Canadian couple, Martin and Barbel Jurrius, both 78, when they were accosted on Tuesday between 6 and 7 p.m. by four gunmen, according to a Ugandan police statement. Endicott -- whom Ugandan authorities have identified as 35 years old, but whose cousin says is in her late 50s -- had gone to Uganda for a dream safari vacation.
