Richard Castle was kidnapped on his way to his wedding. A black SUV crashed into his car, and he was abducted. The kidnapping was orchestrated by the CIA, who took him to Thailand to help stop a terrorist attack.

Castle's disappearance lasted from May 12, 2014, to July 2014. During this time, his fiancée, Kate Beckett, investigated his whereabouts. She discovered that he had been abducted but was unable to determine who was responsible or his location.

Two months after his kidnapping, Castle was found unconscious on a boat off the coast of the Atlantic Ocean with two bullet holes in his chest. He was rushed to the hospital, where he reunited with Beckett but had no memory of the preceding two months.

Castle and Beckett worked together to investigate his disappearance, but it wasn't until season 8 that the exact details of his kidnapping were revealed. It was discovered that Castle had been involved in a CIA operation to thwart an Al-Qaeda terrorist attack.

The kidnapping had a profound impact on Castle and Beckett's relationship. After recovering from his injuries, Castle proposed to Beckett, and they got married in the Hamptons.

He is taken to Thailand, where he helps stop a terrorist attack

Richard Castle was kidnapped by the CIA and taken to Thailand, where he helped thwart a terrorist attack.

Months before, a Pakistani Intelligence operative named Bilal Khan had turned rogue and joined the terrorist group Al Qaeda. He soon left the group and gave the CIA intel on operational details and those involved with Al Qaeda in exchange for safe passage to the U.S. Knowing that Al Qaeda would soon discover his betrayal, Bilal suggested bringing Richard Castle to Thailand, whom he had befriended during high school.

While heading to his wedding, Castle's car was crashed into by a black SUV, and he was kidnapped. The SUV was later found destroyed in a local scrapyard, but Castle was nowhere to be seen.

Castle was eventually found unconscious on a boat off the coast of the Atlantic with two bullet holes in his chest. He was taken to the hospital with no memory of the events of the previous two months.

With the help of a psychologist, Castle later remembered that he had been in Thailand, where he had been part of an undercover CIA operation to stop a terrorist attack. Bilal Khan, a former Al-Qaeda agent, had defected and told the CIA about Al-Qaeda's next attack. He was to meet his CIA contact in a Buddhist monastery but was ambushed, and his contact was killed. Castle and Bilal fled and were chased by a group of assailants led by a blonde-haired man. They were defended by a man resembling Chuck Norris, later identified as Jeff Powers.

Castle later went rogue and travelled to Los Angeles, where he continued to investigate.

He is found two months later with no memory of the time he was missing

Richard Castle went missing for two months before his wedding to Kate Beckett. He was found unconscious on a boat off the coast of the Atlantic with two bullet holes in his chest and no memory of the time he was missing. He was immediately taken to the hospital with a severe fever.

Beckett visited him and asked what happened during the two months he was missing, but Castle couldn't remember. The NYPD then traced the boat to a campsite owned by a man named Henry Jenkins. However, when Beckett and Castle went to the campsite, they met the real Henry Jenkins, and it was discovered that the man who had led them there was an imposter.

Castle offered a reward for information regarding his missing time, and he and his daughter, Alexis, travelled to Montreal, Canada, where he had been seen in a photo. There, Castle found a video of himself in a safe, apologising to Beckett, Alexis, and his mother for leaving them. He also met the imposter Jenkins, who urged him to forget about his missing time and return to his normal life.

Castle continued to have dreams about his missing time and eventually remembered that he had been in Thailand, where he helped stop a terrorist attack. He also discovered that his disappearance was orchestrated by the CIA and connected to a CIA operative codenamed Loksat.
