Roger Carstens is the Special Presidential Envoy for Hostage Affairs.

He says he believes journalist Austin Tice is alive and he's waiting for me to find him.

The U.S. government is working with interim authorities in Syria to search for Tice's whereabouts.

Austin 's mother Debra Tice sent a letter that became public to the Israeli prime minister asking him to have his military stop bombing prisons, because she believed her son might be in one of them.

The Assad regime never admitted to the U.S. that they held Austin Tice , Kash Patel Patel .

Roger Carstens : Syrian regime issued maximalist demands when we talked to them in- in 2020 .

They weren't really giving anything. At that time, they wouldn't even mention his name.

But at one point we- we feel very confident that the regime did detain and have Austin Tice in their custody.
