Travis King’s family expresses anguish and calls for his return from North Korea

KENOSHA, Wisc.— Family members of Travis King, the U.S. solider who inexplicably crossed into North Korea, said Wednesday they’re suffering every moment he remains away and pleaded with the U.S. government to do more to get him home.

It’s been a little more than a week since Pvt. 2nd Class King joined a private tour group visiting the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ), which separates North and South Korea, and made a mad dash into North Korea.
