An Auburn University student went missing in Japan and now his parents — who are “living in our own hell” — have raced across the world to join the desperate search for their son, according to a report.

James “Weston” Higginbotham, 20, disappeared on May 29 after traveling to Kyoto’s Yamashina Ward in the eastern part of the city, likely for the hiking trails, his parents told AL.com.

“He may be emotionally distressed, so this is urgent,” his mother, Nancy Higginbotham, wrote on social media.

“If you see him, please do not post his exact location publicly.”

Higginbotham was last seen wearing a white shirt with a graphic that reads “Save the Bees,” lavender corduroy pants and Adidas sneakers with black stripes.

He was also carrying a tote bag with the outline of the state of Alabama.

“Please be kind,” his mom continued.

“We are living in our own hell. He is not detained from a night out partying. The police have confirmed this. Please, I beg you, be kind. I’m already in so much pain.”

Higginbotham’s phone location turned off when he disembarked from a train in Yamashina Ward.

Weston is described by his parents as a well-traveled “excellent navigator” and experienced hiker, according to AL.com. 

Nancy chairs the Japan Legislative Exchange in the Alabama House of Representatives, and asserted that “Japan is one of the safest countries in the world.”

“Its people are some of the friendliest and most helpful you’ll ever meet. They are masters at collaboration in times of crisis.”

A prayer vigil will take place at Asbury United Methodist Church in Birmingham, Ala., from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. Tuesday.

Alabama state Reps. Mike Shaw (R-47th Dist.) and Susan DuBose (R-45th Dist.) have contacted Mark B. Jackson, honorary consul general of Japan, as well as the Consulate General of Japan in Atlanta. 

“We understand that the appropriate resources are engaged and searching for Weston,” Shaw told AL.com. 

“Let’s all pray for Weston’s safe return, for strength and peace for his family, and for wisdom and endurance for everyone involved in the search.”
