Anime/Manga News, Stories and Updates



Many of you heard the news when a 14-year-old girl disappeared with an older man, reportedly heading to an anime con. Well, good news has finally hit: the Seattle Post Intelligencer reports that she's been found in Washington state, safe and sound and with her alleged abductor, 41-year-old James Joseph Reiner, who was arrested. They were found when he was pulled over for a traffic violation.


Glad to hear that she's well and safe!

Forgot about this case but happy it has been resolved with a good ending.

OkazukiIchigo: It WAS on "America's Most Wanted" on Feb. 28th.
(Here's some video of it - link jumps to the part that talks about Fourzan. Profile on the AMW site.)

Yeah, I heard this was on America's Most Wanted. I've known about this story for quite some time, because the girl is the daughter of an employee from woot.com. I'm just really glad that she was found, it was good to hear it!

kiroshimatsu: It's amazing what an older person can convince a younger person of.

...Actually, it's amazing what people can convince each other of, regardless of age.

I think all dorky otaku should do a week in county so when they think, "This situation could be just like Princess 69 >.<;;!!!" they know where to draw the line. That guy is in for some HARD HARD time. If it's Federal, at least he'll be alive to walk his toothless 60 year old dumbass out to freedom.

Gia: Well I sort of blame the parents for not teaching about the whole don't talk to strangers thing...

But I guess the option of getting free puppies and candy is just too good to pass up.
