Family of American teacher jailed in Russia say he was 'shattered' to miss out on prisoner swap

LONDON (Reuters) - There is little about Marc Fogel's past that could have predicted he would one day end up in a Russian prison.

An American history teacher who made a career working at international schools across multiple continents, the 63-year-old had been a "happy-go-lucky" person since boyhood, the kind of educator whom students remember fondly their whole lives, said his mother, Malphine Fogel.
