JAKARTA - Until this news is read, who is the killer of Junko Kobayashi is still one of the unsolved mystery cases in Japan. This case is 25 years old.

Sophia University student in Tokyo majoring in English last year was brutally murdered on September 9, 1996 ago. Supposedly, two days later, Junko Kobayashi was on his way to the United States to continue his education.

While on campus, Junko Kobayashi was known as a girl who actively participated in various activities. He joins various clubs and often teaches children to learn English. Junko's goal is to become a reliable journalist.

The house Junko Kobayashi lived in in Tokyo -- 1,300 meters south of JR Kanamachi Station -- caught fire and the woman was inside. However, the police confirmed that Junko did not die from the fire.

According to data from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, Junko was found with her body wrapped in her father's blanket on the 2nd floor. Junko's mouth and hands were firmly plastered, while her legs were tied with stockings. The police found stab wounds in six different places on Junko's neck. Most are on the right.

Not to mention the suspect. The traces of the perpetrators seem to have been swallowed up by the earth. In fact, the police have examined more than 75,000 witnesses and examined more than 1,000 clues. But the police have not been able to determine the suspect in this murder.

13 years after the incident, January 2009, the police found important evidence on the plaster used by the perpetrator. There are three types of dog hair attached to the adhesive tape carried and used by criminals. Meanwhile, Junko's family never had a dog.

Police believe, most likely the criminal lived surrounded by many dogs. A matchbox near the Buddhist altar on the 2nd floor had fallen near the entrance on the 1st floor. It was here that Type A blood was revealed which was supposed to belong to the perpetrator. Matchboxes are believed to have been used by criminals to start fires.
