Inside the Search for Austin Tice

More than 14 years ago, American journalist Austin Tice disappeared while reporting in Syria.

His case reached the highest levels of government. There have been countless theories about what happened to him but remarkably few answers.

Now, award-winning investigative journalists Josh Baker and Sara Obeidat follow Austin’s trail through secret prisons, espionage networks and high-stakes diplomacy. They uncover new intelligence, confront people who may know more than they have revealed and enter former Syrian intelligence prisons in search of clues.

At the heart of the investigation is Austin’s mother, Debra Tice, whose unwavering determination to find her son has kept his case alive through years of geopolitical upheaval and shifting power.

Where Is Austin Tice?, a new nine-part series from NPR’s Embedded and BBC Radio 4, takes listeners inside one of the most consequential missing-person cases of our time, and a story that is still unfolding.
