Estela and I (Barbara) are sister in laws who share a major love for true crime and coffee, as many other people! We thought to ourselves “Why not just record our crime talks while drinking coffee?!” so here we are. We hope you enjoy this lighthearted podcast and bear with us while we iron out some details. Thank you and gracias! Barbara and Estela.

Despite investigators finding physical evidence at the crime scenes, the killer remained at large for years. It wasn't until 2000, when the FBI introduced new technology, that police finally discovered who they were looking for. And they learned that Christine and Wendie were not the killers' only victims.

  • 181. The Miyazawa Family Murders
    Mar 20 2026

    On the night of December 30, 2000, the Miyazawa family had no idea that they would not live to see the following morning. The Miyazawas consisted of the father, Mikio, the mother, Yasuko, and their children, 8-year-old Niina and 6-year-old Rei. When Yasuko's mother, who lived next door, went to check on her daughter, whom she hadn't been able to contact, she made a horrifying discovery. Her daughter and her entire family had been brutally murdered.

    As the investigation began, Tokyo's police force faced a horrific crime scene unlike any they had encountered before. And although there was plenty of physical evidence left behind at the scene, the case remains unsolved to this day.

    So, grab your cafecito, and join us for today's case to learn about what happened to the Miyazawas.

Can’t tell you how many TC podcasts I’ve started and stopped. Estela and Barb have wonderful energy and I feel like I’m having a drink with friends! I’m often conflicted with it comes to this stuff, but they cover cases with the upmost respect for the victims. These two need to blow up.
