SEOUL, S. KOREA (KOLD) - The U.S. government is telling us a little more about a Tucson missionary believed held prisoner in North Korea.
In a news conference Wednesday in Seoul, State Department Assistant Secretary Kurt Campbell was asked about Robert Park.
He confirms Park was moved to Pyongyang, North Korea, and that the American government is working with embassies in Pyongyang to get more access.
In December, Park reportedly crossed into North Korea to deliver a letter to Kim Jong Il, urging the communist leader to improve the country\'s human rights record.
