Mama-san of Hachinohe Gaijin Bar Murdered

[canman]

Living here in Hachinohe, I can tell you that it is very possible to drive all through the city at a late hour with a dead body in the back of your car and not a person would notice. They roll up the sidewalks pretty early here. I think I know the route this guy took to get from Misawa to Hachinohe. Probably AO knows it as well. It goes past the industrial section of the city and skirts the main part of Hachinohe. It also borders the ocean, and there are no houses out there.
But my question still is why go that way, I know a lot of you have never been here, but just north of where Misawa is, there is a huge track of bush and mountain roads.
But we have concluded that the guy is an idiot so there is no sense trying to figure out what he was thinking. But I mean a train track? Was he hoping the train would smash into the car destroying th evidence?

Yeah. I know what you're talking about CM. It's a straight shot to Misawa. Almost no traffic lights and at night there aint nobody about.
I used to take that road when I tended bar in Misawa. 99% of the time, I was drunk and didnt want to get nabbed by the Jpolice on my way home to Hachinohe.

In fact, In my eight years of living in that area, I only saw a cop once on that road. And that was the one time I got a speeding ticket.

Kyodo: American man gets 18 yrs in prison for killing ex-wife

The Aomori District Court sentenced a former U.S. airman on Friday to 18 years in prison for murdering his divorced Japanese wife in Hachinohe, Aomori Prefecture, in July 2006. William Scott Omari McAllister, 26, had admitted to abandoning and damaging the body of 33-year-old Naomi Kimura but denied he had intentionally killed his ex-wife, who was running a bar in Misawa at the time. In handing down the ruling, Presiding Judge Hidetaka Watanabe called the crime "cruel and brutal" as the defendant burned her body together with a car by spreading gasoline to try to prevent the murder from being discovered. The defense side denied McAllister intended to kill Kimura and sought to have the charge of bodily injury resulting in death applied instead of murder, saying, "It was an accidental crime as he became indignant by the victim's words and actions."

The court ruled there was willful intention to kill Kimura. But it said it could not be recognized whether there was definite intention to kill her because her body was burned. "Although it can be suspected that he suffocated the victim by strangling her with strong force for more than 20 to 30 seconds, the form of the crime cannot be recognized in detail because the body was burned," the judge said. The defense side also disputed where and when he committed the crime. But the ruling recognized almost all charges pressed by prosecutors, saying the statement of the defendant was "irrational." According to the ruling, McAllister strangled Kimura at or near her home in Misawa in the early hours of July 20, 2006. He worked at the U.S. Air Force's Misawa base in the northeastern Japan prefecture until December 2005. McAllister drove Kimura's body to some railway tracks, set fire to the body and left it there, the ruling said.
