The parents of 29-year-old Trevor Reed, who for more than 2 years has been held in a Russian prison, are pleading with federal officials to bring up their son's case.
For more than two years he's been held in a Russian prison on charges U.S. officials have called preposterous.Reeds parents are hopeful their son's case will be brought up.
"At this point we believe any negotiations that go on with Russia or any other country that is holding Americans hostage or wrongfully, they should be included in whatever talks are going on with that nation," said Trevor's father Joey Reed. The Reeds told NBC 5 Russian authorities have not let the couple speak to their son over the phone in nearly six months."Remember our son guarded the President and the Vice President who is now the President and was willing to die for them, and right now, our son is slowly dying in a prison cell in Russia," Joey Reed said."I want all the people in Washington to remember that when they sleep in their nice comfortable bed tonight.
