Unfortunately, it seems like it's just a matter of time until your friend shows up. If he hasn't turned up yet, they have him. If they have him and 2 of the 4 have turned up dead that is not really good news. Hopefully they can pull a Jessica Lynch and get him before they do something bad. I am sorry to hear about this new soldier turning up. But you notice how you don't see this stuff coming up on the news? There is SO much you as civilians do not know. I am sure someone is searching for your friend and if God is on his side they will find him alive.
