Police suspect they include the body of the missing 23-year-old, the report said.
The woman, from Hachioji, a city in the greater Tokyo area, and the man were found to have exchanged messages on Twitter after she expressed suicidal thoughts on the social media platform.
She said on September 20 she was “looking for someone who will commit suicide with me,” the Kyodo News agency reported.
