OTTAWA—Caitlan Coleman pulled on three or four layers of socks the night she fled from her estranged husband, Joshua Boyle, she told his criminal trial Monday, April 1.

It was late at night on Dec. 30, 2017, and the temperature was dropping to about minus 20 degrees C (minus 4 degrees F) in Ottawa, where the two former captives in Afghanistan lived. Coleman frantically knocked on doors for help in frigid temperatures. She eventually made her way to a hotel where her mother was staying.
