Are you okay? I’m here for you, don’t worry. Would you like me walk you home?
Somebody help me! I’ve been kicked by someone riding a motorcycle.
I’m fine, I’m just terrified, and yes, could you please walk me home.

Upon tricking Furuta and gaining her trust, Miyano took Furuta to a nearby warehouse and threatened her, “I am a member of the yakuza and I’ll only spare you, if you follow my orders.”

The perpetrators told Furuta they knew where she lived, and that the yakuza would kill her family if she attempted to escape.
In early 1989, Miyano and Ogura were arrested for another crime they committed. When police interrogated Miyano, he falsely believed that Ogura had already confessed to Furuta's murder and that the police were aware of his culpability, so he told them where to find Furuta’s body. The police were initially puzzled by his confession, as they were questioning him about another crime he had committed. The drum containing Furuta's body was recovered on 29 March. Minato, Watanabe, Minato's brother, Nakamura, and Ihara were also arrested.
Upon being raped and tortured, Furuta would receive repeated assaults. Furuta unable to bear the repeated assaults, would sometimes plead to be killed by her captors.
After being set on fire by Miyano, Kuruta made weak attempts to put herself out, but eventually stopped moving.
Afraid that their crime would be discovered, the group wrapped Furuta's body in a blanket and placed it in a large travel bag, then put the bag in a metal drum and filled it with wet concrete. At around 8:00 p.m. on 5 January, the group drove to a vacant lot near a construction site on the island of Wakasu in Kōtō, Tokyo, and dumped the drum there.
