Boyle, 33, and his American wife Caitlan Coleman, 31, are being held by the Taliban. Coleman was five months pregnant at the time and gave birth to their son in custody. The video of Boyle and Coleman, uploaded directly to YouTube in August, was unlike past “proof of life” videos. She is trying to explain her eldest son, Josh, and why he would decide to backpack in Afghanistan — a question often asked since the kidnapping became public in December 2012. But I have come to know Boyle much better during his captivity through the stories of his friends and family.
