INDIANAPOLIS (AP) – The sister of a Roman Catholic priest from Indianapolis who disappeared in Greece says her family is relieved he made it safely out of that country after a nerve-racking week during which they feared for his life.

Nadia Kappes Charcap says her brother, the Rev. Christiaan Kappes, telephoned their father Monday morning to say he’d left Greece, was in another country and would return to Indianapolis as soon as he can. She says her brother didn’t explain where he had been in the past week.

Charcap says her family had been “preparing for the worst” after her brother and his translator told Greek police Oct. 1 they were in danger because the translator’s family wanted to kill them to get $70,000 from her inheritance.
