'To us every day counts': Presidential Hostage Affairs Envoy Roger Carstens talks about working to free…
"Our job is to bring Americans back," the special presidential envoy for hostage affairs explained.
Carstens is a veteran diplomat and retired Army lieutenant colonel who served in the Special Forces. He was appointed to his position at the Office of the Special Presidential Envoy for Hostage Affairs, part of the State Department, in 2020. Frerichs tried to escape twice early in his capture, once ambushing a guard when he feared imminent death. He spent nearly 32 months in dirt-floor cells, suffering beatings and was constantly shackled.
"The U.S. government spent a lot of time trying to find ways to bring him home, whether it was through trying to consider military options, whether it was trying to push on diplomatic channels," he recounted.
