Indian Authorities Struggle to Retrieve U.S. Missionary Feared Killed on Remote Island

CNN’s Nicole Chavez reports that Indian authorities are struggling to retrieve the body of an American Christian missionary from a remote island off of India where the world’s most isolated tribe lives. With the help of fishermen, John Allen Chau traveled illegally to North Sentinel Island in an attempt to spread the gospel. The fishermen said they later saw the tribespeople dragging Chau’s body around. Chau wrote in a letter to his family, “Please do not be angry at them or at God if I get killed – rather please live your lives in obedience to whatever He has called you to and I will see you again when you pass through the veil.”
