“My junior colleague went missing in Vegas.”
“At noon, they said, “I’m heading out now,” and then went completely silent.”
“When I got home in the evening, the car, phone, and their beloved daily sandals were at the house,
but the pouch with their passport and wallet, along with the person themselves, were nowhere to be found.”
“No signs of the house being disturbed.”
“Additionally, there is no record of entry into Japan, and I received a call today stating that the police are currently checking places like hospitals and detention centers where there might be leads.”
“If you have any information, please let me know anything at all.”
This was Moriyasu’s last text message to his friend.
“I just got home, I’m heading out now.” (at 12:53 PM on July 2nd)”
