Netflix has planned the arrival of an impending genuine wrongdoing narrative named “Missing: The Lucie Blackman Case” on July 26. The narrative digs into the upsetting story of Lucie Blackman, a 21-year-old English vacationer who was proclaimed missing in Japan in July 2000, yet was subsequently seen as dead.

Who is Joji Obara?

Joji Obara, initially known as Kim Sung-jong, is a Korean-Japanese chronic attacker accepted to have committed offenses against a stunning number of ladies, assessed to be between 150 to 400 casualties. Among his egregious violations, he was blamed in October 2000 for tranquilizing, assaulting, and killing an English lady named Lucie Blackman, as well as the assault and murder of Australian lady Carita Ridgway, and the assault of eight different ladies.

A man named Joji Obara was eventually convicted of abducting, drugging and raping her, and disposing of her body (although not of killing her). He was also convicted of the rape and killing of a young Australian woman, Carita Ridgway, and the rape of eight others.

In 2007, Obara was condemned to life detainment on different assault charges and homicide, however because of an absence of direct proof, he was vindicated of the assault and murder allegations connected with Lucie Blackman’s case. In any case, in December 2008, the Tokyo High Court viewed him to be liable of kidnapping, evisceration, and removal of Blackman’s body.

Joji Obara was born on August 10, 1952, to Zainichi Korean guardians in Osaka. At 15 years old, he signed up for a private academy subsidiary with Keio College, nearly guaranteeing his acknowledgment into the college. After two years, his dad died in Hong Kong, and Obara acquired properties in both Osaka and Tokyo.

In the wake of voyaging broadly and finishing his studies at Keio College with degrees in governmental issues and regulation, he decided to turn into a naturalized Japanese resident and legitimately changed his name. Obara made significant interests in land theory, storing up resources assessed to be worth as much as $38 million. Nonetheless, during the 1990s downturn, he experienced critical monetary misfortunes, prompting the destruction of his firm.
