In 1989, a chilling mystery unfolded high in the rugged wilderness of Japan’s Daisetsuzan National Park. Near the slopes of Mount Asahidake, rescuers responding to a hand-carved SOS sign stumbled upon a gruesome discovery — a human skeleton lying beside it. At first glance, it seemed like a tragic but straightforward case: but it was anything but. What began as a routine recovery in the Japanese mountains turned into one of the country’s most perplexing unsolved outdoor mysteries — a haunting reminder that sometimes, even cries for help can hide secrets of their own.
