00:00The police already have a composite sketch regarding the arrest of an American in Zamboanga del Norte.
00:07The persons of interest are being investigated and it is being investigated if they are connected to any group.
00:13Witness, Mackie Polido.
00:19At 11 p.m. on October 17, an American, Elliot Eastman, was arrested in his house in Cebuco, Zamboanga del Norte.
00:27Based on the initial investigation of the police, four armed men introduced the police to the 26-year-old victim.
00:35Eastman also tried to escape, but he was shot by the kidnapper in the leg.
00:39He was also dragged to the nearby town of Gagat where a boat is waiting to leave.
00:45According to the barangay chairman, Eastman's life in their area is very simple.
00:49He has been staying here in Cebuco for five months. He just vlogs here, he sells his goods, that's all.
01:02I don't see any big business. It's just simple.
01:10In a vlog last September, the victim told the story of his life.
01:15People come in here to tell my family that there's people that want to kidnap me or they're threatening to kidnap me.
01:22I don't really know what would happen if somebody did try to come here and kidnap me, right?
01:28Would the neighbors help me or would they just sit there and watch?
01:31Even last night, I'm scared a little bit. I'm scared.
01:35It's been four days since the kidnapping happened and there's still no request for ransom.
01:41For the police, the suspects are just in the area of Zamboanga del Norte.
01:45Normally, in kidnapping cases involving the group we're talking about, they don't initially hurt the kidnappers.
01:55But this time, the victim was hurt immediately when he saw and resisted.
02:00He was hurt immediately and in fact, he was shot.
02:03These are the things that we're considering.
02:08We have the alias so far.
02:15We have the alias so far.
02:27Aside from the four that came in, we found witnesses there.
02:34Although we still don't know what group this is.
02:38We still have persons of interest from other angles that we can see.
02:43The investigation was also conducted by the agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation of the FBI of America.
02:49They also visited Eastman's family last Saturday and they also left.
02:53According to the PNP, the FBI is not active in the investigation and will only ask for an update from their legal attaché.
