Ep. 234 - Larry Abshier's desertion to North Korea
In the early 1960s, four American soldiers patrolling the DMZ between South Korea and North Korea separately made an incomprehensible decision - to seek asylum in the communist country. Larry Abshier, a private from Garfield Heights, Ohio, was one of the four, and never seen by anyone in the free world again. His life was a complete mystery until 2004, when one of the defectors was able to leave North Korea and finally share their story.
