Six four Author Forename:Hideo The farther he can getFor five days in January 1989, the parents of a seven year old Tokyo schoolgirl sat and listened to the demands of their daughter's kidnapper.

They would never forget the botched investigation that became known as 'Six Four'. They would never forgive the authorities for their failure.
