Summary
Five days after James “Weston” Higginbotham was last seen at a Kyoto train station, the search for the missing Auburn student was still underway in Japan.
Dozens of relatives, friends and community members gathered Tuesday at Asbury United Methodist Church in Central Alabama to pray for his safe return and for strength for his family.
Grandfather Robert Holt said the family is facing obstacles overseas but is doing everything possible to bring Higginbotham home, while urging supporters to keep spreading word of his disappearance.
The prayer vigil underscored growing support in Alabama as the family seeks answers in Japan and asks anyone with information to come forward.
