In a quiet and heart-wrenching case of international family abduction, two-year-old Tiana Kiku Weed and her six-year-old brother, Takoda Tei Weed, vanished from Portland, Oregon, on January 15, 2004. The children, who are of both White and Asian descent, disappeared in the company of their mother, Kyoko Oda, following a contentious divorce from their father, Brett Weed. At the time of her disappearance, Tiana was described as having light brown hair and brown eyes. The circumstances surrounding their disappearance point to a deliberate act of parental kidnapping, with suspicions that their mother transported them to her native country of Japan, severing all contact with their father and life in the United States. The legal history of this case reveals a painful struggle for a father trying to maintain a relationship with his children across international borders. After the divorce, the court initially granted Kyoko Oda permission to move back to Japan with Tiana and Takoda. This agreement was conditional, stipulating that Brett Weed would be allowed consistent visitation, phone calls, and online contact. However, once in Japan, Oda allegedly violated this custody agreement, completely cutting off all communication between the children and their father. In July 2005, a U.S. court granted Brett Weed full legal and physical custody of his children, but this ruling has been difficult to enforce with the children believed to be in Japan. The search for Tiana and Takoda has been ongoing for many years, with law enforcement agencies like the FBI's Portland Field Office involved in the investigation. Over time, age-progressed photos of the children have been released to give the public an idea of what they might look like as they grow older. Tiana may go by the nickname "Kiku Chan" or the alias "Kiku Oda," while her brother may use the nickname "Tei Chan" or the alias "Tei Oda." Despite the passage of time and the complexities of international law, the hope of reuniting these children with their father remains. This case highlights the profound challenges and emotional toll of international parental kidnapping, leaving a father searching for his children and two children growing up without him.
