The couple was reportedly kidnapped during a bus ride. “We are aware of reports of two US citizens missing in Haiti,” said a spokesperson from the State Department. “When a US citizen is missing, we work closely with local authorities as they carry out their search efforts, and we share information with families however we can,” the spokesperson added.
