Angry No Good Deed Goes Unpunished: American Missionaries in Haiti Executed

https://nypost.com/2024/05/25/us-new...ofit-director/

Haitian gangs shot, burned bodies of Missouri pol’s missionary daughter, husband while couple was on phone with father-in-law
By Social Links for Olivia Land
Published May 25, 2024, 10:56 a.m. ET

The missionary who was killed along with his wife by gang violence in Haiti this week was frantically trying to assess the deadly situation while on the phone with his dad.

The elder man could hear the pandemonium as armed attackers stormed in, killed his son Davy, 23, and Davy’s wife Natalie Baker Lloyd, 21, and set at least one of their bodies on fire.

“I was on the phone with my son when that was going down. He said, ‘Dad we’ve got a commotion again. I’ve got to see what’s going on,’” David Lloyd, 48, told the Miami Herald of the moment Thursday night a second gang descended on the compound belonging to Missions in Haiti Inc., the nonprofit he and his wife started more than 20 years ago.

The elder Lloyd had traveled from Port-au-Prince to Oklahoma just a day before, leaving Davy and Natalie on the campus to look after the mission’s school, children’s home, and bakery.

The pair was confident they would be safe, despite the massive surge in gang violence that started in late February and continues to terrorize the small nation, David Lloyd explained.


Davy and Natalie were coming out of the mission church with several children when members of the Terre Nwa/Terre Noire gang ambushed them, the Herald reported.

Davy Lloyd was tied up and beaten while the gunmen looted the property, David Lloyd told the outlet.

“They drove him into the house, tied him up and beat him,” he recalled. “Then they proceeded to loot the whole house, everything they wanted and took my trucks and drove off with them.”

The gang members got away with three vehicles, equipment, and money, including the mission’s payroll for the week, the elder Lloyd told the Wall Street Journal.

The gang eventually left, and the children and mission staff were able to untie Davy, who reunited with Natalie and Jude Montis, the mission’s Haitian director.

Suddenly, David Lloyd told the Herald, the compound was invaded by a second gang, this time from nearby Canaan.


David Lloyd heard the chaos erupting over the phone as his son frantically tried to explain what was happening, he said.

“They eventually got into the house and killed all three of them,” the grieving father said.

A video of the scene reviewed by the Wall Street Journal showed Davy, Natalie, and Jude’s bodies sprawled on the floor of the home, with Davy and Jude’s remains having been burned.

“I’m just at a total loss,” David Lloyd told the Herald. “I’m just in total shock. I haven’t grieved. I haven’t done anything else. I haven’t eaten. I can’t think.”

This is a tribute to classmates of mine that died in a hurricane in Haiti.

Glad I don't have a bleeding heart to help those people.

I opted to study abroad and party throughout 5 countries in Europe

**** Haiti.
I think this tribute is ironic. If the school really wanted to help Haitians, why didn't they send millions of dollars in aid opposed to creating creating this memorial?

That missionary gal was a cutie pie, doubt she was immediately shot, prob passed around like candy.

I remember living in Southern Maryland when a group of church yokels sponsored a bunch of teenage girls from St. Mary's County to go to South America to preach and other BS. Church leaders were idiots, and parents were idiots:

Still pizzes me off 25 years later..... Do your religious outreach right here in the USA...

Lives wasted. All in the name of trying to help those who don't want help.

And why expect any different? You would have to have a screw loose thinking you can change those people. No one in their right mind would go there for any damn reason. Well, unless you are the Clinton's laundering money back into their pockets.

While it is admirable that some have hearts so big as to blindly help others it too often seems as if their brains are correspondingly small regarding the obvious.

My daughter's good friend is there now with a group from a local church "Spreading the Word", Lord help them.

This pretty much says it in a more respectful manner than I would have. The word they should be spreading is to GTFO!

I really don't see how this is possible........didn't the Clinton foundation spend time in Haiti. I just assumed they made real progress and put resources to great use to improve conditions.........

IMO, missionaries are delusional people with selfish motives. They need to stay out of savage populations and shitholes and let what is be.

News flash: not everybody in the world thinks like you do or believes in what you believe. And they never will. Go home, go to church, be safe.

Savages will be savages.

Well, Webb Hubbell's ugly bastard child got a really nice wedding out of the money that was supposed to rebuild things. So, it wasn't a total loss.

Wife was member of some religion like that. She started taking the kids to Sunday school after we moved here. Daughter (maybe 9 years old) came home one day talking about how she was going to Africa to be a missionary. That was the end of that stupidity.
