SAKAIDE, Kagawa -- A man was heard screaming out to somebody to "hurry up" at about the time a Sakaide grandmother and her two granddaughters went missing on Nov. 16, police said.

Police believe the reports of the man being heard in the area may help them discover what has happened to 58-year-old Keiko Miura, and her granddaughters, Yamashita sisters Akane, 5, and Ayana, 3.

Police have also refused to rule out that several people may have been involved in the disappearance of the woman and two young girls.

Police said a woman living near Miura said she heard a man screaming out "hurry up" to somebody on the morning of Nov. 16.

Carpet in Miura's room had been cut out and removed and the grandmother's bicycle taken away in moves investigators believe the perpetrator carried out to cover up their actions.

Miura's bicycle was confirmed as being at the front of her home at about 2 a.m. on Nov. 16, but when a family member called Miura on her mobile phone at 7:30 that morning, she did not answer. Police believe Miura and her granddaughters were taken away some time
