Tourist who saw US soldier sprint to North Korea initially thought it was a stunt
Sarah Leslie thought she was witnessing a stunt when she saw an American soldier start sprinting toward North Korea. Leslie and her father were part of a group that left Tuesday morning from Seoul to visit the Demilitarized Zone that divides South and North Korea. Leslie told The Associated Press that Pvt. Travis King was among the group of 43 tourists. He was casually dressed in jeans and a T-shirt and she had no idea at the time that he was a soldier, or in legal trouble.
