Freelance journalist Austin Tice, now 40, was detained in August 2012 during the Syrian civil war. His work appeared in the The Washington Post, McClatchy and on CBS News. At the time of his disappearance, few western journalists reported from Syria because of the dangers of the war and brutality of Bashar al-Assad's regime. This week, Major speaks with Austin's parents, Marc and Debra Tice, about efforts to bring home their son. They say they're "100% certain" he is alive.
