CHICAGO (AP) - Talk show host Oprah Winfrey plans to interview one of the American missionaries released after facing charges of child kidnapping for trying to take 33 children out of earthquake ravaged Haiti.
Harpo Productions says Jim Allen of Amarillo, Texas, and his wife will appear on Friday's live episode of "The Oprah Winfrey Show." A spokeswoman says the interview will be via satellite from Amarillo.
The missionaries still face possible charges and their leader and her former nanny remain in a Port au Prince jail. The missionaries have denied the trafficking charges.
The group was caught Jan. 29 trying to take the children out of Haiti without adoption certificates. They've said they planned to set up an orphanage in the Dominican Republic.
