    The Silence That Killed Junko Furuta: Japan's Most Haunting Case

    In 1988, a 17-year-old Japanese high school student disappeared on her way home from work. What followed was a 44-day ordeal that would expose the darkest aspects of societal indifference and juvenile crime in post-war Japan. Through meticulous investigation records and witness accounts, we unravel how a community's silence enabled an unthinkable tragedy, and how the aftermath forever changed Japan's approach to justice. This is the story of Junko Furuta - a case that continues to haunt Japan's conscience decades later.
