Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl
Sgt. Bergdahl, 25, of Sun Valley, Idaho, was captured on June 20th, 2009 in Afghanistan and is currently in the captivity of the Taliban supporting Haqqani network. Since then, the Taliban has released five videos showing him in captivity. The Taliban have demanded $1 million and the release of 21 Afghan prisoners and Aafia Siddiqui in exchange for Bergdahl's release. They have threatened to execute Bergdahl if Siddiqui is not released.
U.S. military officials have been searching for Bergdahl, but it is not publicly known whether he is even being held in Afghanistan or in neighboring Pakistan, an area off-limits to U.S. forces based in Afghanistan.
He is now the only American service member to remain missing in Afghanistan.
