A hardworking high school student in Japan disappears on her way home… and doesn’t return. For weeks, her family searches desperately, unaware that she is trapped in a nightmare unfolding behind closed doors.

When her body is finally discovered—hidden in a concrete drum—the case shocks the world and exposes a terrifying failure of justice.

In this episode of Murder U, we tell the story of seventeen-year-old Junko Furuta, whose bravery in the face of unimaginable cruelty sparked outrage around the world… and raised the question so many still ask: how could anyone get away with something this horrific?
