the family home in Saitama north of Tokyo reading: ‘Please do not try to look for me.’
Her parents believed she was taken against her will but two years passed with no clue
about her fate.
That changed yesterday when she suddenly called home from a payphone at a Tokyo train
station, said a Saitama police spokesman.
Hours after the girl came under police protection, her alleged abductor, covered in blood,
was found on a street in Shizuoka prefecture west of Tokyo, the spokesman said.
He told police he had tried to commit suicide by slashing his neck with a knife, local reports
said.
The girl, whose name has not been released, told police she was kidnapped by the man
who had stopped her on the street on her way home from school, according to public
broadcaster NHK and other media.
He enticed her into his car by saying her parents were divorcing, and forced her to write the
note to them.
The 23-year-old man, identified as Kabu Terauchi, graduated from Chiba University east of
Tokyo this month, having apparently attended school for two years while holding the girl in
his apartment, the reports said.
