Home is supposed to be the safest place, a sanctuary where the chaos of the outside world is kept at bay. Yet, the chilling reality is that this is often an illusion. In the blink of an eye, the ordinary can transform into a nightmare. On the night of December 30th, 2000, a quiet, simple middle-class family experienced this fear and horror firsthand. Their once safe haven became a trap of terror when a deranged killer rampaged through their home. What happened to them would shake Japan to its core and lead to changes in its laws. This case would spark an international manhunt for the killer, a search that continues to this day. This is Episode 47: The Miyazawa Family Murders.
