Austin Tice: 12 Years Without Answers | Houston News
Description
Twelve years after freelance journalist Austin Tice vanished near Damascus while covering Syria’s civil war, his family in Houston clings to hope he’s still alive—possibly held in Iran, Lebanon, or Syria. With U.S.-Iran tensions escalating, finding him has grown exponentially harder. His mother, Debra Tice, a tireless advocate now hampered by health issues, and his sister are pushing for a meeting with the new U.S. Director of National Intelligence, hoping to reignite momentum from past diplomatic breakthroughs. Despite limited follow-up from the FBI, Senator John Cornyn has publicly called on the administration to redouble efforts to bring Austin and other Americans held captive abroad home—making this grim anniversary a rallying cry for renewed action.
