Chris Stewart (R-Utah)\u2019s congressional resolution directing the State Department and Intelligence Community to investigate the disappearance of BYU student David Sneddon passed the House today. The resolution specifically asks them to investigate the possibility that the North Korean government may have abducted Sneddon.\nSneddon was last seen in 2004 hiking in western China. Chinese officials say he likely died while hiking, but there is no evidence of an accident, his body has never been found, and there are witnesses who claim they saw Sneddon after he finished hiking.\nNorth Korean officials are known to operate in this particular region of China, and the Sneddon family, along with various experts in North Korean policy, believe that the North Korea government may have abducted David, as they have citizens of other countries, using his language skills to train government officials and operatives. A recent report out of South Korea potentially validates this theory.\n\u201cAs the resolution indicates, there is more work to be done by the State Department and Intelligence Community,\u201d Stewart said. \u201cParticularly given the recent reports out of South Korea that David may be alive, David\u2019s family deserves answers, and until we find those answers we should continue to pursue all possible explanations for David\u2019s disappearance.\u201d\nBelow is a video on a floor Speech Rep.
