PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) _ All but one of the U.S. Baptist missionaries charged with kidnapping in Haiti have now been released, but the group’s leader remains in custody.

Charisa Coulter was taken from her jail cell to the airport by U.S. Embassy staff on Monday — more than a month after she and nine other Americans were arrested for trying to take 33 children out of Haiti after the earthquake.

A defense lawyer said she was released because there was no evidence to support the charges. He predicted that Laura Silsby, the leader of the group, will also soon be released.

The judge released the other eight Americans last month after concluding that parents voluntarily gave up their children in the belief that the missionaries would give them a better life.
