On December 30, 2000, in a quiet Tokyo suburb, the Miyazawa family was brutally murdered in their home. Despite one of the most extensive investigations in Japanese history—and a crime scene full of forensic evidence—the killer has never been identified.

In this episode of Dead Case Files, we explore the chilling details of the Setagaya Murders: the timeline, the eerie behavior of the intruder, the baffling clues left behind, and the theories that continue to haunt investigators and the public alike.

How could a killer stay in the home for hours, leave behind fingerprints and DNA, and still vanish without a trace?
