TRIGGER WARNING: Please note that this episode discusses the horrific crime of infanticide.

She was supposed to care for and nurture new life, but instead, she delivered death. In post-war Tokyo, Miyuki Ishikawa—one of the most prolific serial killers in Japanese history—was a respected midwife, trusted by desperate mothers and overwhelmed families. But behind her professional smile lurked something incredibly depraved. Over the course of several years in the 1940s, Miyuki deliberately allowed over 100 infants in her "care" to die of neglect, starvation, and hypothermia. Then, she charged grieving parents for the privilege of secretly killing their babies. When the truth finally came out, Japan was horrified, and the case ignited legal reforms that still reverberate today. PLEASE LISTEN WITH CAUTION.
