Remains of American journalist Austin Tice, who went missing over 12 years ago, found in Aleppo, Syria, local reports say.
The remains of American journalist Austin Tice, who disappeared over a decade ago, were found in a cemetery in Aleppo, Syrian reports claimed.
Tice, a former Marine and independent journalist, was kidnapped by supporters of the Assad regime in the summer of 2012 while covering the Syrian civil war.
He vanished at a checkpoint west of the capital, Damascus, and there has been no trace of him since.
The US government and Tice’s family, however, have consistently maintained that Tice was alive.
Despite being an American citizen and an acclaimed journalist, his case quickly faded from the headlines, leaving behind an enduring mystery. Tice’s disappearance marked not just the loss of a talented journalist but the silencing of a vital voice in a time of brutal conflict.
Tice’s reporting was widely praised for its depth, authenticity, and courage. He was known for his commitment to providing a human perspective on complex geopolitical issues, focusing on the personal stories behind the headlines. His work earned him recognition from major media outlets like The Washington Post and McClatchy Newspapers, as well as a spot in the broader narrative of journalism’s role in telling the stories that often go untold.
