Caldwell said a lieutenant from the 3rd Battalion, 5th Marine Regiment decided to investigate a house which he had read about in intelligence reports. He and his Marines entered the house and detained the owner."After questioning that suspect, Marines identified additional locations where Jill Caroll was believed to have been held," Caldwell said.
Caldwell said Marines went to a second location and arrested one person. Three others were arrested at yet another place and two hostages were freed.
