CNN's Hanako Montgomery reports on the frantic search for a missing American in Japan
Nancy Higginbotham wasn’t worried when her 20-year-old son got on a train by himself during their family vacation in Japan. James, who goes by “Weston,” is an experienced traveler and often goes exploring alone. But when his phone’s location turned off, she knew something was wrong.
