A 2013 graduate of Wyoming High just north of Cincinnati, Warmbier was a student at the University of Virginia when he paid a Chinese company, Young Pioneer Tours, to visit North Korea's capital, Pyongyang, for five days including New Year’s. On Jan. 2, 2016, Warmbier was about to board his flight home when police arrested and charged him with stealing a poster at a hotel. He was convicted in a one-hour trial and in March 2016 was sentenced to 15 years at hard labor. He was 21.

Doctors at the University of Cincinnati Medical Center examined him and could not specify a cause of the injury except that the brain was starved for a period of minutes of blood or oxygen or both. The doctors said digital records made in North Korea that traveled home with Warmbier contained CT scans from April and July 2016 showing his progressive brain damage. The UC Health doctors said the overall state of his body indicated that Warmbier had received good medical care. He had no bedsores.
On Sept. 26, the Warmbiers appeared on one of Trump's favorite TV shows, "Fox and Friends," to urge the State Department to relist North Korea as a state sponsor of terrorism. Their plea turned graphic when Fred Warmbier said Otto “looked as though someone had taken a pair of pliers and rearranged his bottom teeth.”
Minutes after the appearance, Trump indicated on Twitter that he had gotten the message. “Great interview on @foxandfriends with the parents of Otto Warmbier: 1994 - 2017. Otto was tortured beyond belief by North Korea.”
