WASHINGTON — Tuesday marks exactly 12 years since, Houston resident Austin Tice, a freelance journalist, left for a reporting assignment in Syria. His family hasn’t heard from him since.
His captivity has spanned three presidential administrations, who have worked with Texas’ congressional representation to secure his release. The circumstances of his captivity are unclear, but his family and the U.S. government believe him to be alive. In 2012, an unidentified group released a video claiming he was still alive.
