Family: CO man hid for 2 1/2 days in Algeria crisis
DENVER (AP) -- The family of a Colorado man say he survived the hostage crisis in Algeria by hiding from the terrorist for 2 1/2 days.
The statement released Monday said Steven Wysocki was able to escape to the nearby Algerian military base Friday morning. Wysocki worked as a production supervisor at the natural gas field.
He and his wife, Kristi, live in Elbert, a small town on the eastern Colorado plains.
Kristi Wysocki told ABC News (http://abcn.ws/UN4Ldf) that, at times, the terrorists were only a few feet from where her husband was hiding. She said she felt that her husband "made it to hell and back."
A family spokeswoman said she wouldn't be doing any other interviews. In the statement, Steven Wysocki asked for privacy as he recovers from the ordeal.
