NY Times Article The family of a traveler named James Luckey-Lange of Staten Island in New York City, reported him missing soon after he crossed Venezuela's volatile southern border in early December. The U.S. official said Mr. Luckey-Lange, 28, is among the recently detained, and is one of the two Americans who may be designated as an wrongfully detained prisoner. Mr. Luckey-Lange is the son of the musician Diane Luckey, who performed as Q Lazzarus and is best known for her 1988 single "Goodbye Horses." A travel enthusiast and amateur martial arts fighter, Mr. Luckey-Lange worked in commercial fishing in Alaska after graduating from college, according to friends and family. He embarked on a long trip across Latin America in 2022 following the death of his mother. His father died this year. On Dec. 7, he wrote a friend that he was at an unspecified location in Venezuela, and he last spoke to his family the following day. He said he was heading to Caracas, where he was planning to catch a flight on Dec. 12 that would eventually bring him home to New York. His aunt and next of kin, Abbie Luckey, said in a phone interview that she has not been contacted by U.S. officials, and is seeking any information about his whereabouts. Some American citizens who have been released from prison in Venezuela earlier this year have described abusive conditions and lack of due process. Many were not charged with any crimes, and few were convicted.
