Sister of last American hostage held by Taliban begs Biden: 'Get my brother home'

The sister of the last U.S. hostage being held by the Taliban is making a desperate plea to President Biden as the U.S. military finishes its withdrawal from Afghanistan.

The sister of the last American hostage being held by the Taliban made a desperate plea this week to President Joe Biden as the U.S. military completes its withdrawal from Afghanistan, telling ABC News in an exclusive interview, "I don't think anybody can come home with their head held high until every stone has been turned." U.S. Navy veteran Mark Frerichs, 58, was abducted in Kabul in January 2020 after being lured to what he thought was a new business meeting -- but which turned out to be a horrific ruse, family members and officials have said. Frerichs' sister, Charlene Cakora, said in an emotional interview that "it is almost too late now" to hope for either a negotiation or hostage rescue mission to secure her brother's freedom from his Taliban captors, given the military's hasty move to exit Afghanistan by July Fourth. But she urged the commander-in-chief to pull out all the stops.
