Case 107: Lucie Blackman and Carita Ridgway
Added 2019-02-19 09:28:18 +0000 UTCIn early 2001, 21-year old Lucie Blackman left her job as a flight attendant for British Airways in search of new adventures. She embarked on a working holiday to Japan, where she secured a job as a hostess at Club Casablanca in Tokyo’s bustling Roppongi district. Lucie struggled with the transition, writing in her diary: “I’m not coping well here. I can’t pull myself out of this hole I’ve fallen into… I just want to disappear.”

Ah, cool! I just read about this case in a book called “Tokyo Vice” by Jake Adelstein. He’s an American who was working as a crime reporter in Tokyo. He covered Lucie’s case at the time.
