Birthdate: 24 May 2005

On July 17th, 2006, Jeff took some time on his lunch break to stop at home. Naoko and Chloe were gone. For days he didn't even know if his child was alive and safe. The following week, he was served with paperwork for a restraining order. Though the police had never been contacted and no charges were ever filed, Naoko had claimed that Jeff was abusive to her, and that he did not provide for them.

Following three court appearances and a few short months of weekend visitations, Jeff’s rights as a father were suddenly restricted. After the first few court dates, he could no longer afford an attorney. He was told he could only see Chloe in supervised visits for which he was required to pay. While he tried to set up the visitation on his end, Naoko and her State provided attorney were dragging their feet on their end.

Finally, in July of 2007, Naoko's attorney offered a settlement conference. Despite Jeff’s misgivings about the settlement - most disturbing of which was Naoko’s insistence that she had to return to Japan - Jeff was coerced into signing the settlement. The attorney told him that if the case went to court he might not get to see Chloe at all and that Naoko would be allowed to take the her to Japan anyway. Because they'd been able to keep him from Chloe for so long already, he honestly believed they could deny him his rights for even longer if he didn't sign. The only things he managed to salvage from the settlement was that he would be allowed unsupervised weekend visitation for the 7 months before Naoko could take her away, that Chloe was to have 3 two week visitations per year with her father, and that Naoko was to provide a mental evaluation to Jeff before leaving the country with Chloe. He never did receive the evaluation.

In February of 2008, on the Friday of what was to be his last weekend to spend with Chloe, Jeff received an anonymous call stating that Naoko and Chloe had already left for Japan. He wasn't even allowed to say goodbye to his little girl or tell her how much he loved her. Coincidentally, after a brief - and less than complete - email explanation regarding the anonymous call, Naoko's attorney completely cut off all communication.

Following the court’s final orders to the letter, Jeff began emailing Naoko and her attorney suggested itineraries for Chloe's first visit in April. He never received confirmation. When he finally scheduled the flight and paid for the tickets, he sent copies to Naoko and her attorney via registered mail but, though the copies were signed for, he did not receive a response.

On April 10th he waited for Chloe to arrive at Seatac Airport. 4 hours later he found an airline official who confirmed that Naoko and Chloe had never boarded the plane in Japan and had not re-booked. Jeff’s daughter had been abducted to Japan, as he had told the courts she would be, and he never even had the chance to kiss her goodbye.
