In 2010 my close friend Danilo Alvarez was on vacation with his ex-girlfriend Geraldine in Cali, Colombia. One night on their Colombian vacation the couple made a fateful decision that led to their kidnapping. Danilo shares with us this most unusual story that left him marked forever. Kidnapping used to be common for guerrillas and criminals to extort people. ... At least 174 people were kidnapped in 2018, not even a fraction of the 3,600 victims of kidnapping made in the year 2000, whenColombia's armed conflict was at its most violent.
