Unsolved case! Japanese female teacher mysteriously died in a cesspool
The case we are discussing today is one of the most bizarre and spine tingling unsolved cases in post-war Japan - the Fukushima female teacher's tragic death. It does not have the lonely souls and wild ghosts in supernatural legends, but it is more suffocating than any ghost story; It has a clear victim and a specific location of the crime. The police investigated for half a year, but in the end, it was hastily closed as an "accidental death". However, everyone who has seen the scene and heard the details believes that this is definitely not an accident. This incident has been circulating in Japan for decades, and there are still people investigating the truth. Whenever someone mentions that cold public restroom or that strange death posture, it still makes people's hearts tighten and a layer of cold sweat breaks out on their backs.

The FBI found it in Epstein's Manhattan townhouse, positioned like a paperweight, casual among contracts and invitations.
