Kandace Schipper, a Chicago woman who went missing while traveling in Japan, has been located safely, according to her family.
“We’re relieved to share that we’ve obtained our beloved daughter, sister and cousin Kandace Schipper’s location. Thank you to everyone who helped us spread the word. We’re grateful for every email, call, and share and are now focused on bringing her home safely. After going through this process, we’re overwhelmed by the kindness of so many strangers. From Chicago to Tokyo, we were met with so much support and eagerness to help us find our loved one and have empathy for anyone seeking missing family members. It’s a complicated process trying to find information and it wouldn’t have been possible for us without the generosity of so many,” Schipper’s family said in a statement.
According to Schipper’s family, she had landed in Tokyo back on May 8 for an extended vacation across the country, but went radio silent for more than a week in the middle of her trip.
About ten days later, she has been found.
