Junko Furuta

In this episode, you'll hear one of the most disturbing stories in recent history, as we travel to Japan. 

A country famous for its polite and respectful culture, but in 1988, it was also the scene of a case of shocking violence. A case of culture shifting depravity and brutality.

We'll hear about an entire community of families and law enforcement officials who turned their backs on a helpless teenage girl, out of fear of the deadly organised crime syndicate, known far and wide, as the Yakuza.
