Published June 07, 2013
Associated Press
BOISE, Idaho The family of an American prisoner of war captured nearly four years ago in Afghanistan says it has received a letter it believes was written by him.
U.S. Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl of Hailey, Idaho, disappeared from his base in Afghanistan on June 30, 2009, and is believed held in Pakistan.
His mother and father in Idaho issued a statement on Thursday saying they've received a letter they are confident was written by their son.
In the statement, Bob and Jani Bergdahl say the letter, delivered through the International Committee of the Red Cross, gives them hope that their son is doing as well as can be expected, under the circumstances.
"Our family is greatly relieved and encouraged by this letter," they wrote.
They didn't release excerpts from the letter or detail its content.
