They said they were holding him and they would destroy him if I don't cooperate with them.

When you kidnapped Jeff, you contacted me at my residence and we discussed matters of importance to us both. My telephone number remains the same and my willingness to continue this dialogue remains as strong as it was before.

I never actually doubted that Jeff is alive and I never doubted that Jill Carroll will be released and I am celebrating her release. I'm very happy for her.
