Question marks over an American soldier who went into North Korea without authority.

He crossed the border as he was being escorted back to the US for disciplinary action.

He's the first American detained in the North in nearly five years.

Asia Political Risk Analyst Ross Feingold says they don't know what consequences he'll face.

"Whether or not North Korea's going to treat him as some crazy tourist that they want to toss back to the other side, or they're going to charge him with a crime, or even potentially welcome him."
