Monsters in folklore are easy for us to comprehend. You can only kill a werewolf with a silver bullet, to stop a zombie for good, you have to destroy its brain, and vampires can’t enter your home without your permission. They also have pretty straightforward motivations. Werewolves: Animalistic rage. Zombies: Brains. Vampires: Blood. Human monsters have motivations that are a lot more opaque. What would possess someone to kidnap a woman in broad daylight? To break into a home in the middle of the night to kill the strangers inside? What if no one saw anything? How do you catch a ghost?Case 1: The Murder of Ethel KiddCase 2: The Miyazawa Family MurdersSources:https://www.theguardian.com/world/2001/jan/07/jonathanwatts.theobserver) https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/drumoorhouse/setagaya-family-murders-unsolved) https://migration.ucdavis.edu/mn/more.php?id=1784)https://tbinternet.ohchr.org/_layouts/15/TreatyBodyExternal/DownloadDraft.aspx?key=ymB6nZIkmtMHmD4fHNtFClpXxLVi5INdtxEH7GVV6SO/J3tQV0Oi1OZsY1fMY0sHi8/+hJhQOuHrWPxzeSFPfA==))https://japantoday.com/category/features/kuchikomi/new-book-claims-to-shed-light-on-2000-setagaya-family-murders) https://mcsmrampage.com/2020/10/text/) https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/garden-of-unborn-children) https://www.abc.net.au/news/2019-12-29/the-house-of-horrors-in-setagaya-japan/11771304)https://smol.news/p/the-scary-strange-setagaya-family) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SHI4Q6bmnnU&t=270s)https://medium.com/the-mystery-box/what-we-really-know-about-the-setagaya-family-murder-a87389875e71) https://www.keishicho.metro.tokyo.lg.jp/multilingual/english/safe_society/wanted/seijo.files/eng.pdf) https://www.keishicho.metro.tokyo.lg.jp/multilingual/english/safe_society/wanted/seijo.html) Unsolved Mysteries with Robert Stack, Season 4, Episode 3 https://www.courtlistener.com/opinion/1074838/edward-wayne-beverly-v-commonwealth-of-virginia/)Follow us, campers!Patreon (join to get all episodes ad-free, at least a day early, an extra episode a month, and a free sticker!): https://patreon.com/TrueCrimeCampfire)https://www.truecrimecampfirepod.com/)Facebook: True Crime CampfireInstagram: https://gramha.net/profile/truecrimecampfire/19093397079)Twitter: @TCCampfire https://twitter.com/TCCampfireEmail: [email protected]! https://true-crime-campfire.myspreadshop.com)
