The family of kidnap victims Derek and Carabelle Tardieu is still negotiating with their abductors for their safe release.

Derek and Clarabelle Tardieu were taken a week ago from their Monos Island home and the family said they have not gotten any proof of life.

In a telephone interview on December 13, Derek’s brother, Robert Tardieu, told Newsday the family was still negotiating with the kidnappers, and cautioned the media about erroneous reports.
