A nice article to read, despite the sorrow and tragedy behind it.

Jenkins' book says Soga was not listed as an abductee by Japan. He claims the Japanese were surprised when the North Koreans told them about Soga. He also gives a version of how he met Soga that differs from your claim that it was through teaching English.

I believe it was earlier this year that one of the 'alleged abductees' a Japanese man was found living under the radar in Japan all these years - he just didn't want to be found. One cannot help but wonder if other alleged abductees are doing the same here or elsewhere.

She was 21. He was 40 and her “English teacher.”

He’s probably quite happy to embellish the details of their courtship!

They were and are a family.

@triumph.

Do your research propely before making offensive (towards Ms. Soga) commments. There is a lot to read about this subject.
