In this segment of the video, the story of Sayaka Nakagawa, a Japanese high school student who went missing after leaving school, is discussed. Sayaka, a 17-year-old girl from Chiba Prefecture, was last seen on July 11th, 2013, after harvesting tomatoes from her school garden. She left school in high spirits with a bag of tomatoes but never made it home. Her family and friends tried to contact her but received no response, and she was reported absent from school without anyone mentioning she was actually missing. Sayaka’s disappearance remains unexplained, with little information available about her background or the circumstances of her vanishing.

In this segment of the video, Sayaka’s parents finally called the police two days after she went missing. The authorities started their investigation nearly a month later and gathered information from family and friends. Sayaka was last seen with her school bag and tomatoes, and she had not withdrawn money or used public transport since disappearing. A search involving up to 45 officers in nearby mountains turned up no leads. The authorities suspected she may have been a crime victim and called off the search after three days, but family and friends continued distributing leaflets and posters in the area.

In this segment of the video, it is revealed that Sayaka’s mobile phone data showed her presence within the local area when her parents were trying to contact her after she went missing, indicating she was initially close to home. Despite the media coverage and public tips, the case went cold until a man found Sayaka at a shrine almost two months later. She was malnourished, dehydrated, and in a deteriorated physical state, but alive. Sayaka, wearing the same school uniform she disappeared in, refused to speak to her mother or anyone else, displaying unstable mental state. The man who found her called the police, leading to Sayaka’s rescue and medical care.

In this part of the video, the girl named Sayaka, who went missing and was found near a shrine close to her home, confirmed that she came and went to the shrine and sustained herself by eating orange peels likely from the nearby fields and trees. She indicated that she was alone during this time and did not offer many details when questioned. Sayaka’s disappearance may have been influenced by stress about her future career path and recent test results, as her brother mentioned her anxieties in a TV interview. Despite Sayaka being found, the mystery surrounding her reasons for leaving remains unresolved.
00:12:00
In this segment of the video, it is discussed that the teacher at Sayaka’s High School mentioned not observing any trouble at school and cannot think of a reason for her disappearance. There is a dark theory circulating online that the family treated Sayaka harshly, leading her to run away. The parents are reported to belong to a cult, which some speculate could explain the family’s behavior and delay in reporting her disappearance. Sayaka had previously run away in junior high, which might explain the initial delay as the family may have thought she would return. The cult theory, though lacking concrete evidence, is considered plausible by some locals. The speculation also includes possible parental pressure for Sayaka to become more involved in the cult.
00:15:00
In this segment of the video, the focus is on a small shrine where Sayaka was found. The shrine is a tiny room, rarely visited by locals but occasionally stopped by. Some locals visited four days before Sayaka was found, but she wasn’t seen. Sayaka may have hidden in the shrine during the day and sneaked out at night for food. It is surprising that she could hide there for 77 days unnoticed, especially given the intense summer heat and lack of easy water supply. The mystery remains about how Sayaka managed to stay there for so long. The condition of her clothing, phone data, orange peels, and a barking dog suggest she was there for an extended period. Speculations arise that she might have run off to a secret boyfriend’s house, been spirited away, or had strong willpower. Ultimately, with limited information, it is uncertain what motivated Sayaka’s actions.

Although the case had a somewhat happy ending with her being found safe, many questions remain unanswered. The speaker hopes she received the support she needed, and that any responsible parties faced consequences. Additionally, a small bonus detail is shared about a dog named Chibita barking towards the shrine before Sayaka was discovered.
