  2. Dear Sir:
    My daughter’s name is not on your website. My name is Charles Talley and my daughter’s name is Lea Talley. She has been gone for 18 years now. I still don’t know where she is. My ex-wife will not communicate with me and the Embassy will not let me know where my daughter or my ex-wife live. I don’t know if she is alive or dead now. My ex-wife lived on an island when she first abducted Lea. (now Rie Ito)

    Still, many angry parents don’t think the U.S. government tries hard enough.
    Since Charles Talley’s wife, Yumi, and daughter, Lea, disappeared from their
    Palmdale apartment three years ago, he has sent letters to the State Department,
    the U.S. Embassy in Tokyo and California politicians seeking help.
    A consular officer met with Talley’s estranged wife and child in a hotel in western Japan
    and sent the California man a letter stating that Lea appeared healthy and happy.
    But a frustrated Talley said the information was of little value, since the U.S. official
    did not visit his daughter’s home and got most of the information from his estranged
    wife, whom he later divorced.
    When reached by phone in Japan, Yumi said she will never return Lea to her ex-husband,
    whom she accused in court papers of physical abuse. “I’m very scared,” she said,
    requesting that her location be kept secret.
    Talley, who has custody of his two sons, Robert and Ellis, from a previous marriage,
    vehemently denies the abuse charges. He said he wants Yumi to come back to the
    U.S. and face him in court, where she has been charged with parental child abduction.
    Like many parents in similar straits, Talley admits to having toyed with the idea of kidnapping
    his child back. “Every book I’ve read on re-abduction says it’s not good for the child,” he said.
    “I’m not for that. But sometimes, I’d like to threaten that.”
