In 2017, the brother of a missing Japanese woman would hack into her twitter account to drop a message for help.

This would trigger a response, leading to an undercover operation, and the shocking discovery of the bodies of 9 victims on Halloween, in a house owned by Takahiro Shiraishi, a man who would later come to be known as the Twitter Killer.
