🇯🇵 December 30, 2000. Setagaya, Japan. The quiet and close knit Miyazawa family are brutally massacred in their home in a safe neighbourhood of Tokyo on a wintery night. The killer then stayed in the home for hours, eating, defacating and surfing the Internet. They then disappeared into the world’s busiest and biggest city. 23 years on, 280,000 police have worked the case, fielding tens of thousands of tips and even offering Japan’s largest monetary reward. They have the killer’s DNA, blood, fingerprints, clothing and knife, and yet, the case remains unsolved. To mark 200 episodes of Unknown Passage, we dive deep into Japan’s most notorious unsolved murders, and where the answer may lie.
