Haitian Police report they have proof hostages are alive.

While not saying exactly what their proof is, a member of the Haiti police force tells news outlet France 24 that there is evidence the hostages are alive.

The official arm of the Haiti Police communications has not confirmed this news.

Police are also saying negotiations are ongoing, and that several FBI agents are in the country assisting with the talks.

17 American missionaries, including some from West Michigan, were taken back on October 16 after visiting an orphanage. The group included several children. The group is part of an organization called Christian Aid Ministries which is headquartered out of Ohio.

The US State Department advises against travel to Haiti due to an increase in kidnappings.

You watched me as I was being formed in utter seclusion, as I was woven together in the dark of the womb. You saw me before I was born. Every day of my life was recorded in your book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed.
