After so many days of giving ambiguous statements, Sakai Noriko has finally come clean about the motive of her runaway saga. She had maintained earlier that she ran away because she was shaken and shocked by her husband's arrest. However, she has now confessed that her runaway saga was meant to rid her body of the leftover effects from the stimulants in an attempt to prevent the police from finding any proof of consumption. The police also suspect her for intentionally destroying evidence and obstructing the course of justice with the following actions she took or may have taken during the period when she was in hiding:
1) Sakai's handphone had been missing when she gave herself up. She claimed that she had thrown the handphone away as it was spoilt. This was very unnatural as she could have sent it for repairs. In addition, she was holding onto her son's handphone instead when she was on the run. When the police found Sakai's handphone, they discovered it was intentionally destroyed, possibly in an attempt to cover up how Sakai got her supply of stimulants and her circle of friends who might have also consumed the banned substances. The police are currently looking into how they may find information of her calls and emails from her service provider since the handphone is beyond repair. Sakai has not mentioned how she got her drugs through the interrogations so far.
2) Sakai's hair was visibly shorter than the time when her husband was arrested. It has been said that the length of the hair can determine how far back a person has been consuming stimulants. As such, with her current hair length, the investigators can only trace back to about 1 year and 8 months back. In addition, she deliberately dyed her hair whereby the chemicals used could actually flush out the stimulants' left behind in her hair. There is reason to believe that Sakai anticipated the police's move to test her hair for the drugs thus she cut her hair during her runaway period. She had also been giving conflicting accounts of when she started on the stimulants. At first, she said that she started last summer but now she is claiming that she started more than 1 year ago. However, her husband said that she has been consuming the stimulants for longer than what she claims.
3) Sakai knew that the police would not be able to find traces of the drug through a urine test if she stayed away for at least 4 to 6 days. As such, her runaway bid was a calculated move, rather than a sudden decision made in response to her husband's arrest.
