Keith Stansell - Colombian Fiance

So I am hearing on CNN that Keith Stansell has a Colombian girlfriend and two 5 year old twin boys that he has never met!! The drama does not stop. Wow and he proposed to her while a hostage.

and she accepted the proposal by some type of radio program that the hostages can some times listen to hear messages from their loved ones.

From what I have seen of Anderson Cooper on CNN he is a well informed intelligent reporter. I like his work on CNN international.

He is the best on CNN and so is the guy who was reporting from Colombia, Karl Penhaul who covers for The Boston Globe, CNN International, The San Francisco Chronicle, and U.S. News & World Report

Stansell is not married in the U.S. I assume? More power to him, same I believe for other American prisoners still in Laos, N. Korea and the like...most I believe has remained as they have local families and are immersed into the cultures...One cannot blame them!

YAHOO just had an article on this and it seems as though this guy had a FIANCEE in Georgia while he was doing it with this Colombian woman. She is a Avianca flight attendant and according to the article he "...was mad she got pregnant.." and she didn't know he had a fiance in Georgia and was peeved when she found out!

The article says they met in the business class on a flight to Panama City.

Now he is proposing marriage after a six year abscence? I think there will be another single mom in Colomia looking for a husband quite soon. Just my thinking......

Yes! She is atttractive and her twin boys are 5 or 6. I like how the article says that he, the gringo father was "mad that she got pregnant". As if he could not have done anything to prevent a pregnancy. You know....no glove no love!

LOL, after reading that info from sandressi, it sounds like Stansell was successful in adopting the behavior of the local males, practically a colombiano! ;-))

"Yes Anderson Cooper was looking for his future Colombiana wife" Don't think so! Understand he has "other interests".

I also heard him speeking about his vacation to Bogota. He was highly complementary.

Well Keith had a Fiance in Georgia, but she has recently remarried. She, of course, knew nothing of the woman in Columbia. Keith's Fiance in Georgia is a lawyer living in Cairo. Keith's children were living with her while her and Keith were still together, however, when this scandal was revealed, they went to live with their mother. I guess Keith's girlfriend will be coming to live with him in Colquitt, Ga. That will be a big difference from Columbia.....

Also, if you want to see what Keith's children look like, look on myspace. They both have pages.

Maybe he was trying to hook up with exotic male prepagos colombianos. For all I know many or most of the male prepagos are either bi or gay. Hehehe. Anyway I think is a waste cuz Anderson is very handsome. sniff sniff.

DO NOT, I REPEAT DO NOT FEED THE TROLLS...

This is what Anderson Cooper posted on his blog about Bogota and Cartagena:

"So I’m back, and yes I actually did take a whole week off. I can’t remember the last time I did that. As I’ve said before, I don’t relax all that easily and since most of my vacation days are used up shooting stories for 60 Minutes, I rarely take a whole week off. I spent last week in Bogota and Cartagena, Colombia.

Many of you will say to yourselves, “why in the world would anyone go there for vacation?�? But the truth is, it’s a great place to go. Cartagena is an old colonial city that, even during the worst years of violence in Colombia, was a safe spot. Bogota is a vibrant, chaotic place, that hums with life. It’s got great food and music. There are huge problems with violence in Colombia, narco=traffickers and armed groups are still out of control, but the violence is way down, and at no time did I feel unsafe.

Everywhere I went in Colombia, complete strangers, who didn’t recognize me from television, asked me if I was enjoying my trip, and wanted to know if there was anything they could do to make it better. Anyway, it was nice to discover a new place, and I will definitely be going back."
