On April 28th, 2016, Rina Shimabakuro went out for a walk. 3 weeks later, the police will get a hold of her killer Kenneth Shinzato, once they track down his car, and match Rina’s DNA within the car to him. His confession will lead them to a suitcase in the forest that will reveal that military murders in Okinawa are far from over. What were his motives?
