ZAMBOANGA, Philippines – The United States' Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has started looking into the October 17 abduction of American Elliot Eastman in Zamboanga del Norte.

 

FBI agents arrived in Sibuco town on October 19 and interviewed Eastman's wife in Sitio Tungawan, Barangay Poblacion. They also met with Mayor Joel Ventura, local police, and Barangay Chairman Merjan Caril.

 

Ventura said the local government is coordinating closely with US authorities and law enforcement groups, and utilizing all available resources to ensure Eastman's safe return. 

 

Investigators are looking into reports that Eastman's abduction may be linked to his marriage to a local woman, who was previously in a relationship with a Sama Sibuco indigenous man who wanted her back.

Deserved for being a passport bro xx

From what I've read, this area is known to be dangerous and he knew it and was bragging about it. Sorry but if that's true then it's his own fault. I'm not saying he deserved it but you shouldn't put yourself in those situations if you know it's dangerous.

So he moved to a bad and dangerous area on purpose?

That area of the Philippines is extremely dangerous and most Filipinos would never ever go there for this exact reason.  The US govt explicitly warns Americans against going to that part of the country for risks of kidnapping and murder.  Hope he is released in good health, but this is what happens when you think you're above security warnings.
