1. When we started this story we could never have imagined it would end like this. For months we filmed the trial of Gaylen Grandstaff, an American put in jail in #Russia over a cleaning product. Our new @ABC short film takes you inside what it was like.

Alec is safe and being treated. I want to say a profound thank you to the @rodekorsnorge , @politivest and @HRSSorNorge for their efforts and others who helped. Amazing, kind, brave people. We can’t begin to express our gratitude. Support the Red Cross.

UPDATE: They have found Alec Luhn alive. He is awake and appears well. He seems in good condition. He is being transported by rescuers now. Thank you to all the amazing people who have done anything to help. There will be more updates as we know more.

They were with their young son. We would be very grateful if they can get in touch.

HELP: Alec spoke to a kind French-speaking couple who gave him a lift to the Buarbreen glacier on Thurs July 31. We believe he may have told them about his planned route. We're trying to find this couple. They were in a camper van and drove him from Buer to the Buer restaurant.

HELP: Our friend @AlecLuhn is currently missing while hiking in Norway's Folgefonna national park. If anyone has seen him please get in touch. If people in the area can share this please do.Last seen July 31 after leaving Odda headed for Holmaskjer. Planned to go to Breidablikk
