ISHINOMAKI, Miyagi Prefecture--Akemi Karino received a mobile phone call immediately after the memorial service on April 28 for staff and children of Okawa Elementary School, where 84 students and teachers are missing or confirmed dead following the Great East Japan Earthquake.

Local police said they thought they had found the body of her 12-year-old daughter Ai, a pupil at the school who had been missing since March 11.

The trousers and the belt on the body appeared to be the same as those worn by Ai on the day of the disaster, the officer said.
