The Teigin Enigma: Sadamichi Hirasawa (Assassins)

In 1949, a man claiming to be a doctor walked into a Tokyo bank. By the time he walked out, he had stolen 160,000 yen and left ten people dead or dying inside.

Instead, their investigation led to an unassuming landscape painter named Sadamichi Hirasawa.  Show notes and full transcripts available at www.artofcrimepodcast.com.  If you'd like to support the show, please consider becoming a patron at www.patreon.com/artofcrimepodcast.
