The Miyazawa family lived in a quiet, two-story home near Soshigaya Park in Setayata, Japan. 44 year old Mikio worked for the British marketing firm Interbrand, while Yasuko was a homemaker. They had two children: 8 year old Niina, active in soccer and ballet, and 6 year old Rei. Who would have wanted this picture perfect family dead? That is the question that has haunted the world since December 31, 2000. This case is unlike any we have ever covered here at the Dark Oak, as the killer left behind more than 13,000 pieces of evidence….and yet, authorities don’t even have a person of interest.
