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.

Needing some space, he decided to explore Kyoto on his own while the rest of the family visited a nearby temple, his mother says.
