Jul 27, 2023

This gripping and tragic documentary hit Netflix yesterday and has the internet losing sleep. Missing: The Lucie Blackman Case is the #1 documentary on the charts today. Here’s everything we know about this terrifying tale.

Netflix Official Synopsis

“When 21-year-old British Air hostess Lucie Blackman leaves her life in London to move to Tokyo for an adventurous year of exploration – her parents and friends never imagine that just three weeks later, she will vanish without a trace. What follows is an intricate international investigation to find Lucie – led by a team of tenacious Japanese detectives. This gripping true crime feature is told both through the fascinating inside track of the investigation – as well as the emotional lens of Lucie’s father who never gives up on finding his daughter alive. Their journey against the clock takes them through the seedy heart of Tokyo’s dark underbelly and ultimately to the tragic truth about her brutal murder at the hands of one of the country’s most reprehensible sexual predators.”
