Hello lovely listeners! Thank you for joining me in this week's episode of Coffee and Crime. I thought I needed to talk about a case that wasn't in America, so I am talking about a case that is a little closer to home, well a lot closer. This is the unsolved murder of Japanese tourist, Kayo Matsuzawa. A young woman who came to Aotearoa to learn, and for adventure. This episode covers what happened and the bizarre investigation that unfortunately left this case cold. Happening only 24 years ago, could the killer be one day identified due to the advances in forensic technology? Will we ever learn about what truly happened to his poor young woman? As always, get in touch to talk about your theories and thoughts on the case! Been amazing talking with some of you, even meeting some international listeners! Stay safe lovelies! LM x
