Three people have been arrested in connection with the kidnapping of American YouTuber Elliot Eastman in the Philippines. Eastman, 26, was abducted by armed men on October 17 in a coastal town, and police are searching for three additional suspects. Eastman was shot in the leg during the attack and has not been found. A local mayor has offered a reward for information about his whereabouts. The FBI is now assisting Filipino authorities in the investigation. The kidnapping occurred shortly after Eastman married a local woman. Reports suggest the abduction may be linked to personal conflicts involving his wife and her former partner, who is now a person of interest.
