Taeko Yasuhara was spectacularly betrayed by Takada, the man she loved and trusted. She had no idea that Takada was a drug-dealing robber who had been striking fear into the Hanshin area at the time. From that moment on, Taeko was cast into the depths of a tragic fate. When Takada was arrested, articles from various newspapers, all focusing on Taeko, were read by the public, driven by interest and curiosity simply because she was a woman, plunging Taeko even deeper into suffering.
