Police has initially concluded that this was a suicide by carbon monoxide poisoning; however, when 2 more men are found in May and August of the same year, Police conducted a thorough investigation; reviewing financial records and their internet history. This would eventually lead them to 34 year old Kanae Kijima. But how was a young middle-class girl from Hokkaido, linked to all 3 men?
