Major in Germany after missing 3 days

-

BISHKEK, Kyrgyzstan — A U.S. Air Force major who went missing for three days arrived at a U.S. military hospital in Germany on Sunday, and a senior Kyrgyz police official said that her departure “strongly complicate­s” the probe into her disappeara­nce.

Maj. Jill Metzger vanished Tuesday in Bishkek, the capital of this former Soviet republic, while shopping for souvenirs at a department store before a scheduled departure from the country Friday.

A massive search involving Kyrgyz and U.S. investigat­ors came up empty until late Friday, when police said Metzger knocked on the door of a house in Kant, about 22 miles from the capital, and said she had been abducted.
