Where Is Austin Tice?: 7. The Escape
Summary
Host Josh Baker travels to post-Assad Syria with Austin Tice’s mother, Deborah, to investigate a false lead and interview former intelligence officer Safwan Pahloul, who details Austin’s brief escape from custody. The episode also features Syrian lawyer Noor Ghazi, who shares letters proving Austin was alive in November 2012, and Dr. Nadal Issa, who treated Austin in early 2013. These accounts help establish a timeline suggesting Austin was held by the regime until at least January 2013, challenging rumors of his earlier death.
