Kayo Matsuzawa was a bright, beautiful, friendly and adventurous 29-year-old Japanese woman who travelled to study English in Christchurch, New Zealand. However, she met a tragic fate while sightseeing in Auckland city. Her body was found, naked and decomposing in a utility room in the local mall very shortly after she had landed and checked in to her hotel. This is another one of those cases where the answer feels right at your fingertips, but unfortunately for Kayo’s family, it’s still unsolved.
