Canadian Joshua Boyle, his American wife Caitlan Coleman and their three young children were held captive for five years after the couple disappeared in Afghanistan. Here is a timeline of their case.
-- Boyle and Coleman travel to Russia. They later move on to Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan and finally to Afghanistan over the course of several months.-- Caitlan Coleman's father hears from Boyle for the last time before the couple is captured. Boyle said he was in an Internet cafe in what he described as an "unsafe" part of Afghanistan. The last withdrawals from the couple's bank account were made Oct. 8 and 9 in Kabul.
"-- Boyle demands his kidnappers be brought to justice for the "murder" of his infant daughter and the rape of his wife while they were in captivity.-- Boyle says he and his wife decided to have children while held captive because they always planned to have a big family and decided, "Hey, let's make the best of this and at least go home with a larger start on our dream family."-- Coleman is rushed to the hospital in Smith Falls, Ont.
