Elizabeth transports us to the depths of the Colombian Jungle where Keith Stansell, Marc Gonsalves, and Tom Howes crash during a surveillance mission looking for illegal cocaine operations. The men are quickly taken hostage by the FARC - Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia and are hostages for 1,967 days.
In part 1 of this two part story we learn about the plane crash and their first year and a half as hostages. Elizabeth and Michelle also do some fun Would You Rather questions and answer some questions about the initial rescue efforts.
Join us next week for part 2!
