Freed hostage files for divorce in Keys
The Miami Herald ^ | July 18, 2008

Posted on 07/18/2008 11:55:53 AM PDT by King of Florida

Former Colombian hostage Marc Gonsalves filed for divorce from his wife Alisa ''Shane'' Gonsalves Thursday in Key West.

Gonsalves, a resident of Big Pine Key, was one of three Americans rescued from the jungles of Colombia on July 2 after being held captive for more than five years by FARC guerrillas.

He returned to Big Pine Key on Saturday, flying into Marathon airport aboard a private plane.

Gonsalves grew up in Connecticut. He and his wife have three teenage children: Joey, Cody and Destiny.

Shane Gonsalves has declined all requests for interviews since her husband's rescue.

Whoa, and just a little over two weeks after being freed! No doubt she didn't think he was going to make it back . . . and found comfort elsewhere.

In which case he's probably doing his wife and family a favor, somewhat a personal sacrifice for himself.

The world ought to give all of them lots of privacy, and prayers. They're going to need both.

"No doubt she didn't think he was going to make it back . . . and found comfort elsewhere."

Or, he fell in love with one of his captors? Stranger things have happened.
