Trevor Reed’s parents say hope for son's release from Russia diminishing

The parents of the ex-Marine currently held prisoner in Russia spoke with ABC News' "Start Here" about the latest developments in their request to bring their son home.

It's been three years since Joey and Paula Reed have seen their son Trevor, a former Marine currently held in a Russian prison, and now they're afraid the ongoing conflict with Ukraine means their chances for his return are dwindling.

The couple spoke with ABC News' "Start Here" Tuesday and discussed the latest developments in their fight to bring their son home.

Joey Reed said the situation is going "downhill" as communications with their son have diminished since the start of the Russian invasion and on Monday he was reportedly sent to a prison hospital. He said he fears that Russian officials may take more action against his son and other Americans currently held in their prisons and is urging President Joe Biden to act.

"Our biggest fear right now is him getting home at all. We're concerned that they're going to put additional charges, false charges on him, which that's typical FSB and or he will die," Joey Reed told ABC News.
