The Terrible Taurus Couple
from Signs of Danger: A True Crime Astrology Podcast · host Jillian Clemmons
In Kitakyushu, Japan, a man faked his own death. He recruited three acquaintances to tell his partner that he had committed suicide. He arranged a funeral. She had been trying to escape him — had fled back to her parents, had tried to put distance between herself and the man who had burned his name into her breast with a cigarette, who had threatened to release nude photographs if she left, who had driven her to attempt suicide herself. So when she heard he was dead, she went to the funeral. She believed it. And he was waiting for her.Futoshi Matsunaga stepped forward. Alive. Present. Immovable. And she was brought back into the cage. Not because he chased her. Because he built a set piece so elaborate, so patiently constructed, that she walked into it believing she was attending the end — when she was attending the beginning of something worse.Karla Homolka stole drugs from the veterinary clinic where she worked, crushed them into food, and gave them to her own sister so her boyfriend could rape her. Her last words before the electric chair: "My story is a love story, but only those tortured with love can understand what I mean."Three couples. The architect who designs the cage. The collaborator who maintains it. The self-annihilator who destroys herself inside it. Eight warning signs — including the capstone: the closed system cannot open itself. Someone from outside has to do it.Featuring: Futoshi Matsunaga | Karla Homolka | Martha Beck.Sources: Wikipedia | Japanese Supreme Court | Canadian court records | New York court records | MurderpediaThank you for liking, subscribing and sharing.
