## Resource

In 2001, Kiyoshi and Ikuko Kinebuchi vanished in Chiba, Japan. Large blood traces in their home suggested murder. A man posing as a police officer deceived them, withdrew money from their account, and fled in their car. No bodies were found, and the case remains an enduring mystery. Hosted on Acast.
