Bryan Stern, founder of Grey Bull Rescue Foundation, expresses hope for finding Austin Tice, a Camp Pendleton-trained Marine veteran abducted in Syria in 2012. His team has been searching for Tice since the fall of the Assad regime and believes he may be held in a private compound rather than a prison.
OCEANSIDE, Calif. - The founder of a rescue group helping search for Camp Pendleton-trained Marine veteran Austin Tice in Syria says he’s hopeful Tice can be found.“It's never been this urgent in the history of the case,” said Bryan Stern, an Army and Navy veteran and founder of Tampa-based Grey Bull Rescue Foundation.He says an undisclosed number of his team has been on the ground in Syria , searching for Austin Tice since the fall of the Assad regime, more than a week and a half ago.
After the fall of the Assad, prisons have been emptied.Stern sent us video of him at one of the prisons, as he and others sifted through countless records, trying to learn the fate of prisoners.In one photo, a hole was dug in the floor of the prison, as rescuers searched for hidden cells, but there was no sign of Austin. Stern doesn't believe he was ever in a prison.“More like a house or private ranch kind of compound that's privately owned, for sure.
