Summary
Adachi Yuki, an 11-year-old boy from Nantan, has been missing for two weeks after being dropped off near his elementary school. Police have intensified search efforts, deploying around 640 officers and receiving over 200 tips, but no significant breakthroughs have occurred.
Residents received a missing person notice in the city's monthly newsletter, which included Yuki's photo and a description of his clothing on the day he disappeared. School officials confirmed that Yuki was present at school around 8:30 AM on the day of his disappearance.
