Maupin's fuel convoy was attacked near Baghdad International Airport on April 9, 2004. A videotape broadcast by Al-Jazeera on April 16 showed Maupin being held hostage by Iraqi insurgents.  The Pentagon later changed his status from MIA to captured. Maupin was promoted in absentia on May 1, 2004, from private first class to specialist.
