The Monster With 21 Faces
from Marshall Alessi's Strange World · host Marshall Alessi
Imagine a criminal mastermind who didn't just break the law, but turned the entire nation of Japan into a real-time board game. In the mid-1980s, an anonymous group known as the Monster with 21 Faces brought the country's food industry to its knees, taunted the police with cryptic letters, and vanished without a single person ever being caught. This isn't a movie script; it is one of the most chilling cold cases in history. In this video, we dive deep into the Glico-Morinaga incident. We explore the daring kidnapping of a CEO, the cyanide-laced candy that sparked a nationwide panic, and the mysterious "Fox-Eyed Man" who managed to slip through the fingers of investigators every single time. Who were they? Why did they stop? And how did they manage to humiliate the most sophisticated police force in the world? The "Monster" claimed they were bored and decided to play. Decades later, the game is over, but the questions remain.
