カーティス氏は２０１２年から消息を絶っていた。中東の衛星テレビ、アルジャジーラは、ペルシャ湾諸国が解放に尽力したと伝えた。
ケリー長官は、シリアで拘束されている他の米国人を救出するため、米国が「あらゆる外交、情報、軍事的な手段」を使っていると表明した。
国連もカーティス氏の解放を確認する声明を発表。「カーティス氏は現地時間８月２４日午後６時４０分にゴラン高原で国連平和維持部隊の要員に身柄を引き渡された。健康診断後、米政府関係者に引き渡される」としている。
スーザン・ライス米大統領補佐官（国家安全保障担当）は声明でカーティス氏が「シリア国外で安全な状況にあり、近いうちに家族と再会すると予想している」と述べた。

A Syrian Kurdish boy holds a baby on October 22, 2014 inside a tent in the Rojava refugee camp in Suruc in Sanliurfa province. Turkey said on October 21 that Kurdish peshmerga fighters based in Iraq have yet to cross into Syria from Turkish territory, a day after announcing it was assisting their transit to join the battle for the Syrian town of Kobane, also known as Ain al-Arab. It was seen as a major switch in policy by Turkey, which until now has refused to interfere in the over month-long battle for Kobane between Syrian Kurdish fighters and Islamic State (IS) jihadists.

White smoke billows over the town of Kobane in Syria and the crash of mortar shells is clearly audible -- the intensity of the battle for the Kurdish town is tangible from the Turkish side of the border. Yet Turkish Kurds watching the fighting between Kurds and Islamic State (IS) jihadists on the other side of the border have little faith an authorisation for military action from Turkey\'s parliament will translate into concrete action.

Turkey will do what it can to prevent the predominantly Kurdish town of Kobani, near its border with Syria, falling to Islamic State insurgents, Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said late on Thursday, but stopped short of committing to military action. Hours before Davutoglu\'s comments, parliament gave the government powers to order cross-border military incursions against Islamic State, and to allow foreign coalition forces to launch similar operations from Turkish territory.

SANLIURFA, TURKEY - SEPTEMBER 29: (TURKEY OUT) Syrian Kurdish refugees wait after crossing the Turkish-Syrian border near the southeastern town of Suruc in Sanliurfa province on September 29, 2014 in Sanliurfa, Turkey. Turkish troops could be used to help set up a secure zone in Syria, if there was an international agreement to establish such a haven for refugees fleeing Islamic State fighters, President Tayyip Erdogan said in comments published on Saturday. Militants still held their positions around 10 kilometres west of Kobane inside Syria, witnesses said, with Kurdish positions the last line of defence between the fighters and the town. Kobane sits on a road linking north and northwestern Syria and Kurdish control of the town has prevented Islamic State fighters from consolidating their gains, although their advance has caused more than 150,000 Kurds to flee to Turkey since last week.
