Show Notes
This is a case that shook Japan to its core - a tale of unimaginable cruelty that still haunts the nation over three decades later.
Picture this: It's November 25, 1988. The streets of Misato, a quiet suburb of Tokyo, are bustling with the usual after-school crowd. Among them is Junko Furuta, a 16-year-old high school student known for her beauty, intelligence, and kind heart. As she pedals home on her bicycle, she has no idea that this ordinary day will be her last taste of freedom.
In a moment that would alter the course of her life forever, Junko is suddenly knocked off her bike by a group of teenage boys. What followed was not just a crime but a descent into hell that would last for 44 agonizing days.
Known as the "concrete-encased high school girl murder case," Junko's story is one of unthinkable torture at the hands of four young men who would become her captors, tormentors, and ultimately, her killers.
