A Japanese woman's body was found frozen to death in North Dakota back in December 2001. I saw the headline in a paper the other day and it piqued my curiosity. Turns out 28 year old Takako Konishi from Tokyo was known by the local po po. The local constabulary had had reports of a Japanese woman roaming around the wilderness near the state capital of Bismarck when they asked said lady what she was doing? She showed them a crude map of where the money was buried in The Coen brothers picture Fargo. Now the brothers Coen had said tongue in cheek that it was based on true events, she believed it and was ended up dozen to death looking for the buried cash. Oh dear I always thought my Japanese friends were smart!
