Don't want to be callous, but does she can't really think that her mother's still alive. I don't know how old her mother was when they were abducted 30 years ago but assuming she was at least 20 when she had her daughter wouldn't she be easily pushing 100 by now?

Her mother was 46 years old in 1978 when the two of them were abducted in 1978. Which would make the mother 76 if she is still alive.

Hope the best for Soga but I can't imagine the odds are in her favor that her mother's still alive...

Not only should someone be held accountable for murder if her mother is no longer alive, but many should be held accountable for kidnapping, imprisonment, and slavery. Issue an INTERPOL arrest warrant for the "Great Leader" himself!
