A Japan holiday that began as a celebration has turned into an anxious search for an Alabama family after their 20-year-old son, an Auburn University student, went missing on May 29. The family is now actively involved in the search across Kyoto, working alongside local police and volunteers while also receiving support from the FBI.
Amid the ongoing search, the case has also sparked an unusual detail—his mother had been using ChatGPT to help plan parts of their travel itinerary before he disappeared.
