This story seems like a makings for a Hallmark movie and faux.

I think he was a convert to Islam, beyond that I don't know

I think he is being charged with abusing someone .other than his wife. I have no doubt she has gotten her share of his nastiness. as well

I think Canada has very strict laws protecting the identity of abuse victims.  I have sort of a sick feeling it might have been a  minor

The whole story was bizarre. Taking a pregnant wife to the dangerous territory where they were allegedly picked up made no sense. The wife’s father was definitely upset about the scenario surrounding their capture. The husband’s arrest makes Sense to me.

I agree but what was with the wife agreeing to go with him especially with her pregnancy. Did he handcuff her and force her onto the plane?

 The husband is really a strange person. The wife is on a hiking trip pregnant they get captured!  What I don't understand why she got pregnant again had two children in captivity. You wonder did she have medical attention when pregnant who delivered the babies and how about after the children were born.  The children's health her health.  There have been many prisoners that would have given anything to be released. Some of the prisoners lost their life never to see freedom. This husband and wife they were unappreciative they could have cared less that they were released.  Not even a thank you to the government.

@Vickiv, here's the strange answer to your question:

He also told the AP that he and his wife decided to have children even while held captive because they always planned to have a big family.

'We're sitting as hostages with a lot of time on our hands,' Boyle said. 'We always wanted as many as possible, and we didn't want to waste time. Cait's in her 30s, the clock is ticking.'

Boyle said then that their three children were 4, 2 and 'somewhere around 6 months'.

'Honestly we've always planned to have a family of 5, 10, 12 children... We're Irish, haha,' he wrote in an email in October.

Haha, indeed.

I read somehwere in my travels, the guy was also Amish, at one time

He must have been a convert to that, because he has a very good vocabulary ,nd I don't think the Amish use to type of vocabulary he has. He is educated, but if didn't do him much good. He can't think at all, it seems

Weird to say the least!
