Truth be told, when I wrote this podcast, I couldn't sleep. I tossed and turned after reading the court documents on this case. My friend from Japan translated them for me as they are written in Japanese. Usually I can write a podcast within a few hours, but with this one I had to take breaks to collect myself. It was hard to keep my composure without feeling angry and extremely emotional over this. I didn't even know her, but I felt her pain. What made my blood boil wasn't just the torture she endured and the explicit details her abductors shared with the courts, but the fact they are not even in prison for this crime and still alive today, living freely among us due to the discrepancies in the old Japanese court system.
This is probably the most extreme true crime podcast episode I have touched base on to date. Granted I have read worse, but something about this particular episode bothers me more than others I've researched. If you are having a great day, please refrain from listening to this podcast as it just may change after. Prepare yourself. This episode is not for the faint of heart nor is it for those of you who are upset, as this will just make you feel a lot worse. Even Salt Looks Like Sugar--Episode 6: The Death of Junko Furuta.

As the present is only an interface of the past and future, there is no way of knowing what will happen tomorrow. I hope only good, great, and amazing things happen, especially after writing this podcast. Thank you for listening.
