Save OUR family! Desperate parents release videos of couple held with their baby by the Taliban since 2012 as they blast government for rescuing 'deserter' Bowe Bergdahl and not them
- Caitlin Coleman and her husband Joshua Boyle appear in two videos believed to be released by the Taliban
- Pregnant Coleman, of York County, Pennsylvania, and Boyle, of Ottawa, went missing in October 2012 while traveling near Kabul
- The couple were due to return home in December ahead of Coleman's due date
- The video messages were sent by email to James Coleman, Caitlan's father, by email from someone who claimed to be linked to the Taliban
- US authorities believe they are authentic and say they bear similarities to those of Bowe Bergdahl
- Their child - now believed to be around 18 months after being born in captivity - does not feature in the videos but is referenced by Coleman in her pleas for help
- In one of the tapes the American woman appeals directly to Obama for assistance
- Parents of both Coleman and Boyle expressed their disappointment that the deal to free Bowe Bergdahl didn't include any provision to save their children and grandchild
- A spokesman for the Taliban has previously denied holding the couple
