Next, an international public service announcement by the U.S. government. The U.S. Department of State’s Diplomatic Security Service, through its Rewards for Justice office, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation are advertising reward offers of up to $5 million each for information concerning the kidnappings of Mark Randall Frerichs and Paul Edwin Overby, Jr. who both disappeared in Afghanistan. The RFJ reward offers are for information leading to the location, recovery and return of Mr. Frerichs or Mr. Overby. Paul Overby was last seen in Khost, Afghanistan, near the border with Pakistan, in mid-May of 2014. At the time of his disappearance, he was conducting research for a book he was writing, and it appeared that he planned to cross the border into Pakistan to pursue his work. Mark Frerichs was kidnapped in early February 2020. At the time of his kidnapping, he resided in Kabul. He moved to Afghanistan in approximately 2010 and worked on construction projects throughout the country.

以下是一篇美国政府的国际公共服务公告：美国国务院外交安全局通过其正义悬赏办公室与联邦调查局，发布悬赏通告，提供高达500美元的悬赏，以获取在阿富汗失踪的马克·兰德尔·弗雷里希斯和小保罗·埃德温·奥维比被绑架的线索。正义悬赏办公室是悬赏有关弗雷里希斯和奥维比两人的下落、能将两人救出以及返回的信息。奥维比最后一次露面是2014年5月中旬，在阿富汗靠近巴基斯坦边境的城市霍斯特。他失踪的时候，正在为自己撰写的一本书做研究。当时他似乎是准备越过边境进入巴基斯坦，继续从事他的研究工作。弗雷里希斯在2020年2月初遭到绑架。遭遇绑架的时候，他住在首尔。他2010年左右移居阿富汗，在阿富汗各地从事建筑项目。
