The Fresh Diet and the Cooler Bag Kidnapper successfully made the hostage swap in exchange for meals.

The Fresh Diet (http://www.thefreshdiet.com/) released the following statement regarding the kidnapping: "While we deeply appreciate that the kidnapper enjoyed our food so much that he was willing to take such extreme measures, we do not condone actions such as these and encourage our clients to stay within the letter of the law. All bags and ice packs have since been returned to our facilities and we are treating them with extra love and attention given their recently experienced trauma."
