“I’m going to use the restroom real quick.”

Jia’s husband opens his eyes and looks at his phone. It’s 1AM. The two of them are on an overnight train heading home. He blinks before ripping his blanket off to escort his wife -

“No, it’s okay. I have my phone with me. Just stay here. I’ll be back quick.”

She leaves for the restroom - careful to not wake up any of the other passengers in the sleeper carriage. She climbs down the bunk bed steps and balances through the aisle to the restroom.

BAM. Jia’s husband eye’s fly open and he checks the time. 1:30AM. It’s been thirty minutes and his wife is not back from the restroom. Strange...

He searches the entire carriage before alerting the train conductor...

“Please you have to help my wife is missing!”

The train conductor smiles at him.

“Don’t be ridiculous. Nobody goes missing on a moving train.”

The to do list for the party mainly consists of purchasing groceries, cleaning the upstairs rooms, and airing out the pungent smell in the bathrooms.

17 year old Cassandra grabs the bottle of bleach and pours it out onto the bathroom floors. There. That should do.

Her boyfriend, Johnny, helps her glue the bathroom door shut. Sealing it with a caulk gun. There. Now nobody can get in and nobody can get out.

But more importantly - the smell won’t get downstairs and ruin the vibes.

“It’s a sewage issue.” That’s what they tell the party guests.

19 year old Johnny had used the restroom and because the sewer lines were blocked up he couldn’t flush. Excuse the smell.

They did not tell them that they were getting high right under 2 dead bodies that were decomposing upstairs.

Orchards are not fun at 3am. The rustling of the leaves feels no longer feels like a nice sunny, breezy day, it sounds like someone is hiding behind a tree somewhere watching you. Standing in the middle of an orchard is a group of high schoolers and young 20 something year olds just huddled in a circle.

“What did kim say about the—? “HURRY just start pouring it!”

They kick their shovels aside, start pouring the concrete into the hole, and watch as it covers first the hand, then the torso, and now the face.

The face of the 15-year-old girl that they held captive for a month and tortured.

When they’re done, they head back to their cars with their shovels... And honestly? They think they did it; that they’re getting away with it. But don’t they know? History always repeats itself.

A very, very similar case took place 26 years ago in Japan: The case of Junko Furuta.

This episode is about a case that everyone in South Korea has been calling: The Korean Junko Furuta case.
