13 years after journalist Austin Tice disappeared, we’re still searching for answers
It was 13 years ago Wednesday — Aug. 13, 2012 — that journalist Austin Tice was kidnapped while reporting in Syria. He had just turned 31.
Today, no one knows what has happened to Tice. Is he still alive? If so, where is he?
On Wednesday, The Washington Post published a remarkably good and deeply-reported piece by Souad Mekhennet, Ellen Nakashima, Joanna Slater and Aaron Schaffer: “Inside the 13-year search for Austin Tice, the journalist who disappeared.”
