On the 4th, a search in the mountains of Doshi Village, Yamanashi Prefecture, where sports shoes with the same characteristics as those of the missing girl were found, found new things like human bones and clothes.
Police are scrutinizing the clothes because they are similar in character to what the missing girl wore at the time.
On the 23rd of last month, a part of the bone of a person's head was found in the mountains of Doshi Village, Yamanashi Prefecture, and subsequent searches have found athletic shoes and a pair of socks for children.
The characteristics of athletic shoes and socks match those worn by Misaki Ogura of Narita City, Chiba Prefecture, who was a first grader at the time when she went missing at a nearby campsite three years ago.
And in a police search on the 4th, a new thing like a human upper body bone and long-sleeved blackish high-necked clothes were found.
According to the police, the clothes are similar in color and shape to the ones Misaki Ogura wore at the time.
Also, according to the investigators, some of the clothes may have been washed away from the upstream because they were covered with a lot of fallen leaves.
The police will proceed with the appraisal of things like bones and clothes, and will focus on searching along the river for five days.
