The Ardlamont Mystery

In 1893, a young English heir is killed during a shooting trip at Ardlamont House in Scotland. The prime suspect is one of the men he traveled with—Alfred John Monson—but the evidence is murky, the testimony is tangled, and the case becomes a Victorian-era media storm. In this episode, we trace the timeline, the trial, and the unsettling questions that remain—ending with Scotland’s infamous verdict: not guilty, but not cleared. The Ardlamont murder is still one of the country’s most chilling unresolved mysteries, where the truth feels close… and still out of reach.

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.
