However, there was speculations recently that Sneddon might be alive as he was seen again on the same spot of his disappearance.
The spot where Sneddon disappeared is actually a place where North Koreans try to enter China illegally.
"We initially thought that China had picked David up thinking he was involved in the underground railroad because a former companion of his had been teaching a North Korean family in Beijing," Sneddon's father Roy told.
