This California family was kidnapped by pirates on the Amazon River during a family vacation. The family was rescued in the Amazon River delta, miraculously alive, and spent the night in the hospital in the city of Breves, near where they were found.
Emily Harteau was limping after she, her husband, Adam, and their 3- and 7-year-old daughters escaped the pirates in Brazil.
The family was headed to Breves when the pirates boarded a ferry they were on and forced it to go the city of Porto dos Dias.
