Travis King's uncle and sister expressed their concerns to NBC News, stating that the "days are getting longer" without their loved one.

The family has also been in contact with the parents of Otto Warmbier, a University of Virginia student who tragically died in 2017 after falling into a yearlong coma due to brain damage suffered while in North Korean custody. Myron Gates expressed his worst fear, saying, "That's my worst fear, that my little nephew comes back like that. I hope he comes back the same way he went in."
