Kayo Matsuzawa had always wanted to travel overseas. In November 1997 she finally got her wish and left her home in Japan for a year-long visit to Christchurch on New Zealand's South Island. Ten months into her stay, on 11th September 1998, the 29 year old flew to Auckland on the North Island for a short break. Kayo booked into a hostel and set out to discover what the country’s largest city had to offer. CCTV footage shows Kayo walking through the city centre just after 3.30pm. This was the last time Kayo was seen alive. Her body was found 11 days later in an obscure location.
