U.S. Knew of Saudi Plan to Seize Missing Journalist, Post Says

There have also been claims that she wasn't actually his fiance, in addition to multiple claims by the same news outlet that turned out to be completely made up. And there are motives for them to do so.

I don't know where he is and I don't know what happened. I'm not saying every claim is untrue, but you have to understand the region and the dirty politics that come in to play. There's been misinformation throughout the region on all sides, agendas being pushed through government run media etc... and that's before this incident even occurred. Knowing all that, I can't hand pick certain claims and dismiss others that were proved to be untrue. Did he walk in yes? Is he dead? Probably. Are we certain that it unraveled the way these anonymous sources are saying it did? Absolutely not. Only time will tell.
