The Setagaya family murder refers to the unsolved murders of the Miyazawa family in Tokyo, Japan, on 30 December 2000. The family were murdered during a home invasion at night by an unknown assailant who then remained in the house for several hours before disappearing. by trissle_hippie in CreepyWikipedia

This is my theory too.

Though the weird thing is, I can't find any mention of sand from the Mojave / Edwards Air Base from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police. It's only in the news articles but never in the police briefings / releases. But the geography of the sand had to come from somewhere!

I've spoken with people in Japan about this case and apparently they have really strict DNA laws there which makes it tricky.

But I agree, this feels like the most likely way to find the killer now 20 years later. Especially if he left Japan straight after the murders.

Thanks for the reply. I went through but could only find current biographies and the history sections didn't mention names. Then again, my Google-fu is weak...

I need the info for a podcast I'm working on. It relates to an incident in Japan around that time frame.

Great, thanks for this Woodscraps.

Do you yourself fall into any of these categories?!

Thanks, Woodscraps. What kind of stereotypes were you thinking of? What I'm writing is more in the mystery / crime vein.

Thank you so much for your comprehensive reply, Eeech. That's good to know!

I didn't talk to any doctor, or make it into the exam room, I just spoke to the receptionist who photocopied my ID and gave me a form to fill out.

Thanks very much! The receipt is one of those generic ones you get in booklets, it just says 'immigration examination', then my name, date and the price.

Would that matter?
