In 2001, the mysterious disappearance of the Yamasa family in Hiroshima captivated Japan. On June 3, Junko, Masahiro, their daughter Chie, and grandmother Mitsue vanished without a trace. The family’s car was later found submerged in the Kanwan Reservoir with their remains inside, but there were no signs of a struggle or external injury. The family’s financial stability and harmonious reputation raised questions, and rumors suggested a possible affair or family conflict. Speculations ranged from collective suicide to group sleepwalking or hypnosis, but no conclusive explanation emerged. A hidden tunnel near the reservoir, linked to the family patriarch, added another layer of mystery, but despite continued investigations, the case remains unsolved, with the truth still elusive.
