Kidnapped freelance journalist Austin Tice hadn’t been heard from since mid-August when he disappeared in Syria, but now there’s new hope he’s alive. A 47-second YouTube video titled “Austin Tice is alive” shows the journalist blindfolded and surrounded by masked gunmen wearing the traditional garb of Afghan fighters.

The FBI has been investigating his abduction.
