A relative of a California woman kidnapped while on a safari in Uganda said Friday he wants to see the U.S. send in Navy SEALS to locate and rescue her if that's what it takes.

Phoenix resident Rich Endicott said Friday he hasn't spoken with his cousin since a family reunion several years ago, but he is working every angle to try to see she is rescued.

The woman from Costa Mesa, California, has a small skin care shop, is in her late 50s and has a daughter and granddaughter. U.S. Rep. Harley Rouda, who represents Costa Mesa, said in a statement Friday that he has communicated with "people close to Kimberly's family" and the State Department, which is working to get Endicott released.
