JAPAN – A 15-year-old Japanese girl who disappeared two years ago has been found, claiming she had been kidnapped and held captive by a 23-year-old man – and escaped when he forgot to lock the door. The teenwas found in downtown Tokyo on Sunday after alleged kidnapper Kabu Terauchi left her unattended long enough for her to escape and call police from a payphone. The teenager told police she was abducted by Terauchi on her way home from school in Asaka, Saitama Prefecture, in March 2014, and that he had kept her prisoner ever since. The 15-year-old was reported missing by her family two years ago, after being seen speaking to a young man near her home, now believed to have been Terauchi. Her family later received a handwritten note, which read: ‘I need a little break from home and from school. I’ll be at my friend’s house for now. Please do not come searching for me,’ JapanTimes reports.
