Sneddon's family claims on a website devoted to the search for him that they believe Sneddon was kidnapped by North Korea and is being held hostage there. Sneddon's parents said they believe their son was taken by the North Korean regime for training purposes because of his fluency in Korean, according to the Deseret News. His mother, Kathleen Sneddon, told the paper that the report about her son being in North Korea "doesn't surprise me at all." The province where Sneddon disappeared is in the far southwest corner of China, bordering Vietnam, Laos and Burma. "Pray for the people of North Korea that their lives will change."
