Terrifying & True | Setagaya Murders: Japan's Most Chilling Unsolved Case

from Weekly Spooky | Scary Stories for Halloween · host Henrique Couto | Scary Stories & Horror Expert

The Setagaya family murders left blood, fingerprints, and clothing behind—but no identified killer. On the night of December 30–31, 2000, four members of the Miyazawa family were killed in their Tokyo home. Terrifying & True follows the forensic trail, the offender's reported behavior inside the house, and the theories that have failed to turn evidence into a name. How can many traces survive while the person who left them remains unknown? This Japanese true crime investigation keeps the family at its center and separates clues from speculation about who committed the murders.
