"I want to especially thank the officers in Madison County for their professional and excellent police work that was done. As you can assume, we are very emotional right now, and many details of the capture of my ex-wife and my daughter are yet to come out. We are asking as a family that the media and public give us time to digest the events and begin the unification process with Penelope. I understand that my daughter is not in a mental or physical state to handle any more stress.”
