U.S. Reporter Jailed in N.Korea Calls Sister.

An American journalist jailed since March in North Korea phoned her sister late last month, it was reported Thursday. Laura Ling, 32, and Euna Lee, 36, were charged with illegal entry into North Korea and with an unspecified "grave crime." Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and others have lobbied for their release.


Grant Miller Media obtained these phone transcripts between Ling and her sister, former "View" co-host Lisa Ling:

Laura Ling: "What'd you do with those heels that you tried on last time you came over?"
Lisa Ling: "What do you mean?"

Laura: "You know what I mean. Last time you were here you were all 'Oh my God I love these shoes' and you even tried them on. Now, I go to wear them and they're gone. Like they totally vanished."
Lisa: "What are you talking about, I didn't touch them."

Laura: "Oh, so I guess they just disappeared on their own?"
Lisa: "Are you calling me a thief?"

Laura: "Well, I don't know where else they'd be..."
Lisa: "Look, I didn't even touch your shoes. They're way too small..."

Laura: "Whatever, whatever, whatever...Look. Just give 'em back, stop all this BS and it's over. Okay. No questions asked."
Lisa: "I don't have your shoes, Laura. What is wrong with you?"

Laura: "Fine. Whatever. Just don't be surprised if that paper weight thing mom gave you is missing sometime."
Lisa: "Pfft. Whatevs."

I have not seen coverage of current events with this kind of far reaching scope pulled out since the Michael Jackson funeral postgame.

Well done indeed, Grant Miller Media.

Please, please, PLEASE give an update if the shoes are found or if Lisa is found to be a shoe thief. I've always thought that Lisa Ling was a little shady...
