Police confirmed that a 2-year-old boy from Takaoka City, who had been missing, was found on the 4th off the coast of Himi City in western Toyama Prefecture. I am looking into it as a possibility.
Reine Takashima (2), a nursery school child in Takaoka City, Toyama Prefecture, disappeared from her home shortly after 6:30 pm on August 20, when a heavy rain warning was issued in the city. I've been looking for whereabouts.
Under these circumstances, on the morning of the 4th, a corpse that appeared to be a small child was found off the east-northeast coast of Himi fishing port in the adjacent Himi city, and the police announced on the night of the 5th that it was confirmed with Reion as a result of DNA analysis.
The police found that there were multiple irrigation canals near the house where Reine disappeared, and that they joined the river and flowed into the sea, and that the surrounding security cameras did not show Reine. For these reasons, we are investigating the possibility that Reine-chan may have fallen into an irrigation canal and washed away.
After receiving confirmation from the police, Reine's parents said, "We are deeply grateful to everyone who cooperated in the search, and to everyone who sent warm words and words of encouragement from all over the country. This is a very disappointing result, and our family is in a state of not being able to organize our minds, so I would appreciate it if you could leave it alone."
