A photo shows the moment just before US Army soldier Travis King bolted into North Korea.
King had joined in on a civilian tour in South Korea before he made a mad dash over the border into the communist country.
US officials now believe that King is in North Korean custody.
King — who's now thought to be in North Korean custody — "willfully and without authorization" crossed from South Korea over the heavily fortified border into North Korea, US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin said.
"This man gives out a loud 'ha ha ha,' and just runs in between some buildings," a witness on the tour told CBS News.
