By: Megan Specia | Mashable

Austin Tice disappeared in Syria on Aug. 13, 2012, and 911 days later, the freelance journalist is still missing. Now his parents have launched a new campaign to bring their son home.

On Tuesday, the White House confirmed that there is at least one American still being held in the Middle East, and though Press Secretary Josh Earnest did not elaborate on who that person is, all signs point to Tice.
