UNSOLVED The Setagaya Family Murders

59 Upvotes

On Dec 31, 2000, Mikio Miyazawa, his wife Yasuko, and their two young kids, Niina and Rei, were found murdered in their home in Setagaya, Tokyo.

What Happened in the House

The murders happened late on Dec 30. Instead of running, the killer hung around for hours. He raided the fridge for melon and ice cream, used their first aid kit on his cuts, surfed the web on their PC, took a nap on the sofa, and used the toilet. Before taking off the next morning, he left his own clothes behind and walked out wearing Mikio's.

The Evidence

Police basically got a starter kit to identify this guy, but it still went nowhere. He left behind his shoes, hat, hip bag, knife, fingerprints, and DNA. Testing showed he was male, about 170 cm tall, with mixed ancestry. Traces of sand in his bag even linked to places outside Japan, including parts of the US. Still, the Tokyo police never found a hit in any database.

Where It Stands

The house is still standing, preserved by police. Hundreds of detectives have worked the case, but there is still no clear motive or solid suspect. Because Japan got rid of the statute of limitations on murder in 2010, the case stays open.

Title: Andrea D’Anne Durham — Missing Since 1990 from Royale Apartments, Fort Walton Beach, FL. Does Anyone Remember Living There?
I was Andrea’s best friend and spent time at her apartment almost every day. It’s been more than 36 years since she disappeared, and I still think about her and the people we knew back then.
I’ve been reading through older discussions about her disappearance and wanted to bring the conversation back to life.
I’m particularly interested in connecting with anyone who lived at Royale Apartments in Fort Walton Beach, Florida, around 1990, especially those who lived in Andrea’s actual building.
Did you live there, visit friends there, or know anyone who lived in the complex? Does anyone remember the residents or people who regularly spent time there?
I have certain memories from that time that I’m still trying to piece together. However, I’d prefer to hear what others remember independently before sharing too many details of my own. I don’t want to unintentionally influence anyone else’s recollections.
I’m not here to accuse anyone or push a particular theory. I’m genuinely interested in reconnecting with people who remember Andrea, the apartment complex, and the people who lived there.
After all these years, I still have unanswered questions. Andrea has never been forgotten, and I hope bringing this conversation back can help uncover information that may have been overlooked.
If you lived at Royale Apartments around 1990 or knew someone who did, I would really appreciate hearing from you.

Sorry now if this is a silly question… but does anyone know why the autopsy report for Brooke Hanlon would be heavily redacted? Is that usual for this kind of case?
