Summary

The Junko Furuta case is one of the most horrific in true crime history. It involves a 17yo Japanese school girl who was abducted and imprisoned by 4 teenage boys, who committed unfathomable acts of cruelty and violence against her. This is one of the most requested cases we receive, and we truly hope we did it justice. It is a very difficult case to discuss. Disclaimer: It is GRAPHIC.

We will return with Lori Vallow news and updates next week, continuing our deep-dive into the cast of characters.
