The Setagaya Murders

On December 30, 2000, the Miyazawa family was brutally murdered inside their home in Setagaya, Tokyo — a crime so strange, so methodical, and so intimate that it still haunts investigators nearly twenty-five years later. The killer stayed inside the house for hours, left behind fingerprints, DNA, and clothing, and yet walked away unidentified into the night.In this episode, we break down the crime step-by-step, explore the baffling behavior of the killer, examine competing theories, and look at the psychological profile suggested by the evidence he left behind. This case remains open in Japan — and one of the most unsettling unsolved family murders in modern history.This episode is a Crown Noir production and was written, researched, and produced by A.C. Roberts.Music provided by:Uppbeat.io (Apex Music, Ben McElroy)Support the show:https://buymeacoffee.com/acrobertsFor resources used in this episode, visit our Resource Hub:https://www.thewantedpodcast.com/resource-hubEmail us:[email protected] us on Instagram:@the_wanted_podcastUppbeat referral:https://share.uppbeat.io/qpe0oxfyov7w
