What Cries Out
We are a monthly Mother-Daughter True Crime Podcast. Each month we will focus on a case that cries out to us. What brings an individual to the precipice of darkness? Can we make sense of societies darkest edges? Sometimes we share generationally opposing views or push our own minds to that edge, but we do this to bring souls into remembrance all while bringing a social issue to light... This is What Cries Out.

The Miyazawa Family Murders
Home is supposed to be the safest place, a sanctuary where the chaos of the outside world is kept at bay. Yet, the chilling reality is that this is often an illusion. In the blink of an eye, the ordinary can transform into a nightmare. On the night of December 30th, 2000, a quiet, simple middle-class family experienced this fear and horror firsthand. Their once safe haven became a trap of terror when a deranged killer rampaged through their home. What happened to them would shake Japan to its core and lead to changes in its laws. This case would spark an international manhunt for the killer, a search that continues to this day. This is Episode 47: The Miyazawa Family Murders.
