Unless I missed it, whatever happened to the male cousin who also was kidnapped?
ReplyDeleteI was wondering the same thing. Was he executed or let go??
DeleteThe repeat episode says nothing on what happened to the cousin. They only report that he was let go after the mother was released. He was there though to re-create their capture and confinement in that cage. RP
ReplyDeleteDid he escape?
