"
Until now, we haven't heard the news of the kidnapped pilot. We only heard he was kidnapped. … We don't know the name of the group that kidnapped him yet," said a source working for SIM in Niger, who cannot be named.
Rideout lives in Niger with his wife, Krista, and four children, and along with his brother Ian, until the kidnapping, he worked as a pilot for SIM, flying missionary personnel and equipment within Niger and across West Africa."
