TOKYO -- Shigeru Yokota's decadeslong fight to bring home his daughter, Megumi, who was abducted by North Korea 43 years ago, ended Friday -- not with her return as he had hoped, but with his death at the age of 87.
Megumi was just 13 years old when she went missing on her way home from school in the city of Niigata in November 1977.
