“Natalie and Davy devoted their lives to spreading the Gospel and serving others,” Hawley wrote in his letter shared on X. “As Missouri mourns their loss, I ask you to mobilize all resources at your disposal to protect the transport of the Lloyds’ remains back to Missouri. This is the least your government owes our citizens.”

Hawley’s letter to Biden comes after Missouri State Rep. Ben Baker (R) revealed in a Facebook post that his daughter, Natalie, and son-in-law, Davy, who had been serving as missionaries in Haiti, had been killed by gangs in the country. …

“Days ago, two Missouri missionaries, Natalie and Davy Lloyd, were brutally murdered by Haitian gangs as they were working to minister to the Haitian people,” Hawley wrote. “On the night they were besieged by gangs, my office urgently requested help from the U.S. Embassy in Port-au-Prince.”

Hawley added that the U.S. Embassy informed his office that it was “too dangerous” for them to “send police to aid the Lloyds.” …

“As I write, Natalie and Davy Lloyd’s remains are still not home and reunited with the families,” Hawley added. “Their government failed them in their hour of need. Now I ask that you take all available steps to ensure that adequate security measures are in place to safely return Natalie and Davy’s remains to the United States. I ask that you take action as expeditiously as possible.” …
