Debra Tice shared declassified documents at the National Press Club regarding her son Austin Tice, a journalist missing since 2012 in Syria. The documents were provided by the Director of National Intelligence and revealed that the government had information about Tice’s detention daily, contrary to prior claims of lacking data. They detailed who held him and instances of medical treatment during his captivity. Despite attempts over three administrations, solid information about Tice’s fate remains elusive, hindered largely by the Assad regime’s denials.
Debra Tice stated, "Our government had information almost every single day of Austin Tice's detention," highlighting the discrepancy between official statements and the intelligence available.
The documents revealed details about Austin Tice's captivity, including his medical treatment, such as when he was taken to a dentist or a doctor for stomach issues.
