Tutoring Kim Jong-un
If that wasn’t peculiar enough, David was reportedly kidnapped all so that he could tutor Kim Jong-un, who at that time would have been around 20-years old. That was still 8 years before he would end up becoming North Korea’s dictator. Kathleen would go on to say about everything, “I thought it was a pipe dream.” And while it felt like they were finally getting somewhere, that was pretty much where it lay.
The Japanese Agreed With Them
Apparently, the Japanese became just as invested in David’s case because they had a number of ‘abducted’ Japanese citizens as well. So when Japanese politician Keiji Furuya told Kirkpatrick, “It is most probably that a U.S. national has been abducted to North Korea,” others would claim that they were only trying to get the US governments’ interference so that they could get their Japanese citizens out.
