I don't know how true it is but I heard somewhere that this guy is a fraud. That he was NOT kidnapped and made up the story. Have you heard this or is it just loose talk? I don't know, I am just asking the question.

How does following the Dead mean you know the guy didn't make up the kidnapping? I'm not saying he did, just that it's awfully hard to know from a book.

Adventurers have a language buddy, we can read betwen the lines , we can smell bullshit a mile away, the man speaks the truth , you can also see it in his eyes, if you read the book and you are a rough traveler ( not a tourist ) then you will know.

Glen Heggstad aka the Striking Vicing is his name. Had e-mail correspondence when he asked it the trip from Bogotá to Medellin was safe. My advice to him, and others, was NO! Do not make the trip as planned.About mid November 0f 2001. The bobo went anyway and about halfway to Medellin was stopped and then held by who he said were ELN for 33 days

Did it really happen-I have no idea-some parts of the story hold together others do not. Draw your own conclusions.

Nope, at that time things were really hot in that area-others told him the same thing.
