Lee Jong-eui, 48, shows a photo of his nephew Nam Hyun-chul,17, one of missing passengers aboard the ferry Sewol sank off South Korea, during an interview at a gymnasium in Jindo, South Korea Saturday, April 19, 2014. Relatives of about 270 people missing have grown increasingly exasperated and distrusting of South Korean authorities, in part because of confusion, early missteps and perceived foot-dragging. For days, they have dealt with shock, fear and bewilderment. They have briefly been buoyed by new ideas for finding survivors, changes in death counts and the number of missing, even rumors of contact with trapped relatives, only to be let down later.
