MISSING PERSON!
Haruka Fujita is from Japan, but she has lived in NYC a while. She used to work at Yagura, a Japanese restaurant (24 E. 41st St. between Madison and 5th Ave) as a waitress. It seems she is missing and her parents have come here to find her. Please contact the information below if you know anything or if you have seen her. Also, please forward this information along!
4/30/08 UPDATE: FOUND
Dear Anna,
I spoke with a representative of the Consulate of Japan to verify this information. The lady reassured me that the mother of Haruka Fujita said that they are happily reunited.
You may want to contact the organizers before posting a notice of this very emotional nature that causes alarm to all of us.
Thank so much for your concern regarding Fujita-san.
Best regards,
Al
I contacted immediately the Japanese Consulate in New York City when I noticed the post ‘MISSING JAPANESE GIRL’ http://japanese.meetup.com/408/messages/boards/thread/4611709 relating to Miss Haruka Fujita.
Al, YOU ARE AWESOME
so what’s the story behind this
A very resourceful mom lost her daughter in the dangerous streets of New York City and later found her alive and unscathed. Happy Ending.
