This week, Drewby and Yergy discuss the tragic case of Junko Furuta, a Japanese high-school student who was abducted, tortured, raped, and murdered in the late 1980s. Her murder case was named "Concrete-Encased High School Girl Murder Case," due to her body being discovered in a concrete drum.  Approximately 100 people knew about Furuta's captivity, but either did nothing about it or themselves participated in the torture and murder. Most of the participants were friends of the teenage boys, who were low-ranking members of the Yakuza. We draw parallels between this case and the murder of Kitty Genovese regarding the many people who knew about what was going on and refused to act despite clear knowledge that somebody was suffering or dying.

This week, Drewby and Yergy cover the tragic downward spiral of New England Patriots tight-end Aaron Hernandez who was recently covered on a Netflix documentary called "Killer Inside. We discuss his early years as a star athlete, his career in the National Football League (NFL), his drug use and crimes, his eventual suicide in a Massachusetts prison cell, and whether or not the brain damage he suffered during his time in the NFL played a role in the murder he was convicted of or his demise. We also talk about chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), ways it has plagued professional and combat sports, and our own experiences with various things that can cause neurological issues such as concussions and Lyme disease.
