This Sunday marks the tenth anniversary of the disappearance of American journalist Austin Tice. He is believed to have been kidnapped in a suburb of Damascus, Syria, in 2012.
"He is in Syria. That is a certainty," Tice's mother, Debra Tice, said of the intelligence she is aware of. "He's definitely being held with a government-related entity." She spoke to All Things Considered this past week about her yearslong effort to free her son, who is also a Marine Corps veteran.
