What Happened When Otto Warmbier Was Detained in North Korea? ABC 20/20

Otto Warmbier, who was from Wyoming, Ohio, went to the University of Virginia and traveled to Asia.

Officials in North Korea say Warmbier took a poster down from a staff-only floor of the hotel he was staying in.




Otto Warmbier’s parents give first interview since the death of their son, days after his release from a North Korean prison.

In an interview with Nicholas Kristof, a senior North Korean official suggests the United States government let American student Otto Warmbier die to stir up anti-Communist sentiment.

Former NBA player suggested he is partly responsible for Warmbier’s release, as the university student’s family and friends honor his memory.
