15. Kazuko Higa, Femme Fatale
Kazuko Higa became a full-blown femme fatale, transferring her affections between a series of lovers. Things got worse when the men discovered how to ferment coconut wine, then spent days on end drinking themselves into a stupor, interspersed with bouts of alcohol-fueled rage. By 1951, there had been 12 murders on Anatahan, as the men fought for the affections of the island’s sole female. One of Kazuko’s wooers had been stabbed by jealous rivals on 13 separate occasions, yet returned to his amorous pursuit as soon as he recovered from each attempt on his life.
