Reports alledge she mailed the pain-killers to herself, yet she had no medical reason for needing them. Curious. I'd be asking question, even if I wasn't a Japanese police.

She is the typical "white collar" junkie. Very successful but at the same time they handle all their pressures/problems with either prescription drugs or illegal drugs. Most do a really good job hiding the problem but there are many doing it. She just got caught but as you can see the Toyoda himself is doing a good job with the damage control.
