I can't argue with you because I don't know where you live.

But I will say this, I live in an area where the real nasty crime doesn't make the papers because the local town government doesn't want to scare the weekenders, summer people and day trippers away because local revenue would take a fast nose dive.

The older locals still don't lock their houses and cars and some of the second home owners think "ou it's the country, it's safe" - little do they know people live in their house while they're back in city.

Recently 4 men abducted a young girl from a school athletic field and kept her prisoner in a house while used her as their personal sex slave. They got caught after one of the guy started bragging about it in deli less than 500 yard from the school that she was abducted from.

It doesn't happen in your neighborhood until it happens.

No matter who you are or where you live I don't think it's good idea to think "that stuff don't happen here" because if you talk to the old timers they'll tell you "that didn't happen here until.."

Better wide eyed and safe then blindsided.

The crime
In November of 1988, Jo Kamisaku (then 17; Kamisaku was a new surname he took after being released from prison) and three other young men from Tokyo abducted and held Furuta, a second-year high-school student from Saitama Prefecture in Misato, for 44 days. They kept her captive in the house owned by the parents of one of the other three boys.

To forestall a manhunt, Kamisaku coerced Furuta into calling her own parents and telling them that she had run away from home, but was with "a friend" and was not in danger. He also browbeat her into posing as one of their girlfriends when the parents were around, but when it became clear that they would not call the police, he dropped this pretext. The girl tried to escape several times, begging more than once with the parents who lived there to help her, but they did nothing, apparently out of fear that Kamisaku would hurt them. He was at the time a low-level yakuza member and had bragged that he could use his connections to kill anyone who interfered.

According to their statements at their trial, the four of them raped her, beat her, introduced foreign objects into her vagina, made her drink her own urine, inserted fireworks into her anus, and set them off, forced her to masturbate, and burned her with cigarettes and lighters. (One of the burnings was punishment for attempting to call the police.) At one point her injuries were so severe that according to one of the boys it took more than an hour for her to crawl downstairs to use the bathroom. They also related that "possibly a hundred different people" knew that she had been imprisoned there, but it is not clear if this means they visited her at different times while she was imprisoned and either raped or abused her. When the boys refused to let her leave, she begged them on several occasions to "kill (her) and get it over with."

On 4 January 1989, using one of the boy's loss at mah-jongg as a pretext, the four beat her with an iron barbell, poured lighter fluid on her legs, arms, face and stomach, and immolated her. She died later that day of shock. The four boys claimed that they were not aware of how badly injured she was, or that they believed she had been malingering.

Her corpse was hidden in an 55-gallon drum filled with cement and was disposed in a tract of reclaimed land in Koto Ward.


[edit] Arrest and punishment
The boys were arrested and tried as adults; but, because of Japanese handling of crimes committed by juveniles, their identities were sealed by the court. Furuta's real name and details about her personal life were reported exhaustively in the media.

Kamisaku and his compatriots pled guilty to a reduced charge of "committing bodily injury that resulted in death", rather than murder. Kamisaku's parents sold their house for approximately 50 million yen and paid this as compensation to Furuta's family.

For his participation in the crime, Kamisaku served eight years in a juvenile prison before he was released, in August 1999. In July 2004, he was arrested for assaulting an acquaintance, Takatoshi Isono, whom he believed to be luring a girlfriend away from him, and allegedly bragged about his earlier infamy. Kamisaku was sentenced to seven years in prison for the beating.

Furuta's parents were dismayed by the sentences received by their daughter's killers, and enjoined a civil suit against the parents of the boy whose house they were staying in. When some of the convictions were overturned on the basis of problematic physical evidence (the semen and pubic hair recovered from the body did not match those of the boys who were arrested), the lawyer handling the civil suit decided there was no case to be made and refused to represent them further. (There is speculation that the evidence may have been contaminated—for example, by dozens of unidentified persons who raped Furuta.)

ugh. They did all that then the law did not protect her and she had some insinuation of impropriety because other people raped her. God bless her. That is terrible. Her poor parents.

Wasn't the Tara Grant murder in Michigan?

Coral Eugene Watts is one of the worst serial killers in the U.S. and he's from Michigan.

Wasn't there one in killeen, TX years ago that was supposed to be a retaliation for the dragging death where a group of black guys carjacked a couple on the way to church and took them to a remote area of fort hood and burned their bodies?? Sadly enough, it never is really considered a hate crime if it's black on white. Anything happens the other way around though has the NAACP marching through town. I think it is a strong racial issue. It's horrible to imagine doing anything like that to another human being though, and they should all get death.

Where is GJsharpton to defen these actions for the white race? Surely these crimes were race motivated.
