JAPAN - Yukari Yokoyama, 4, Ota, Gunma Prefecture, 7 July 1996

[0101ABA]

The parents of a 4-year-old girl who is believed to have been abducted in 1996 in Ota, Gunma Prefecture, on Tuesday appealed to the public for any information that might help police solve the case.

Yukari Yokoyama vanished from a pachinko parlor on July 7, 1996. She had gone there with her father and wandered off. Police said their only lead is surveillance camera footage of a man wearing sunglasses and a cap walking up and down the aisles of the pachinko parlor without playing for about 15 minutes, Fuji TV reported. At one point, the man is seen talking to Yukari.

(...) Police said they have received about 3,910 calls from the public since 1996 but none have turned up any solid leads. Police have also released an artist’s sketch of how Yukari might look now, if she is still alive. (...)
