The father of two of the four Indigenous children who survived a plane crash in the Amazon jungle, which killed their mother and two others, has been arrested by Colombian authorities. The arrest of Manuel Ranoque, who is also the stepfather of the other two children, is reportedly related to allegations of abuse. Ranoque has been involved in a custody battle with the children's maternal grandparents, and their mother had died four days after the crash. The children have been under the custody of Colombia's child protection agency since recovering from malnutrition and other ailments.
Four children miraculously survived 40 days in the Amazon jungle after a fatal plane crash that killed their mother and uncle. Soldiers and volunteers from local Indigenous tribes searched more than 1,600 miles of dense Amazonian rainforest over the course of six weeks before finding Lesly, Soleiny, Tien, and Cristin in relatively good condition. The children survived by eating seeds and hiding in tree trunks to shield themselves from animals. Their survival was attributed to their Indigenous background and knowledge of the jungle.
Wilson, a Belgian Shepherd, helped the Colombian military find four Indigenous children who survived a plane crash and were lost in the Amazon jungle for 40 days. However, Wilson went missing during the search and is now himself the target of a sophisticated rescue operation.

It’s been a month since Wilson got lost in the rainforest, and it's hard to know if the two-year-old dog is still alive.
