In an interview broadcast Saturday, Stansell's Colombian fiancee told that nation's RCN Radio that she has traveled to meet him in Texas along with their 5-year-old twin boys, who will see their father for the first time.
Patricia Medina said she and Stansell plan to get married. She spoke before leaving Colombia on Friday for San Antonio.
Medina was pregnant when Stansell's plane went down. Stansell later learned in captivity that she had given birth to twins, Nicolas and Keith.
"We're going to organize the wedding," Medina said. "We talked to Keith last night. He talked with the boys."
She said that Stansell told her "he's super happy, and that he's waiting for us there."
Former Colombian Sen. Luis Eladio Perez, who was freed in February, says he relayed Stansell's marriage proposal to Medina back then, and she accepted.
Medina met Stansell in April 2002 while working as a flight attendant on an Avianca flight.
Stansell, who has other children from a previous marriage, has also been reunited with 16-year-old Kyle and 19-year-old Lauren, his ex-wife Kelly Coady said by phone from Sarasota, Fla.
