KABUL, Afghanistan (KCBS/AP) -- An American worker from Eureka, California and her Afghan driver kidnapped in southern Afghanistan in January are feared dead, according to the Asian Rural Life Development Foundation.
Afghan and U.S. officials Wednesday could not immediately confirm the report.
Cyd Mizell, 51, is a native of Eureka. She and driver Muhammad Hadi were kidnapped in a residential neighborhood of Kandahar on January 26th.
Mizell worked on aid projects for the Asian Rural Life Development Foundation, or ARLDF.
A statement posted on the group's Web site says, although there's no confirmation, information has been received indicating the two aid workers have been killed.
No group has claimed responsibility for the abductions.
The kidnappings happened in an area known for insurgent activity.
