Ms. Silsby, right, detained in Haiti
PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti — A Haitian judge says American missionaries Laura Silsby and Charisa Coulter will remain in jail over the weekend as he awaits more testimony.
Judge Bernard Saint-Vil tells reporters that he has asked two real estate agents and a pastor from the Dominican Republic to testify in Port-au-Prince about property the missionaries rented to set up an orphanage.
That is expected Monday. If they do not show, Saint-Vil says he still expects to rule next week.
He also said Thursday he is seeking to question a pastor and another man from the border town of Ouanaminthe.
Silsby and Coulter are the remaining detainees from a group of 10 stopped taking 33 Haitian children to the Dominican Republic after Haiti’s catastrophic Jan. 12 earthquake.
