Blackman had previously worked as a flight attendant for British Airways and had come to Japan to see the world and earn money to pay off her debts. At the time of her disappearance, she had been working as a hostess at Casablanca, a night club in Roppongi, later called Greengrass. She was 21 years old at the time of her death.<br /><br />Blackman's mysterious death and disappearance, as well as Obara's trial, received high press coverage in Japan and internationally, especially in the British media. As a result of the publicity surrounding the case, three foreign women came forward to describe waking up, sore and sick, in Obara’s bed, with no memory of the night before. (See drug-facilitated sexual assault.) Several of them, it turned out, had reported him to the Roppongi police but had been ignored.<br /><br />On July 1, Blackman went on a douhan (a paid date) with a customer from Casablanca. Other than a few calls to a friend during the date, no one heard from her again. The Blackman family, wanting to find her, flew to Tokyo and took the opportunity to start a high-profile direct media campaign, including approaching British Foreign Secretary Robin Cook, who was in Tokyo at that time. Newspapers started publicising Blackman's disappearance on July 13, when British Prime Minister Tony Blair made mention of the case during an official visit to Japan, where he met with Prime Minister Yoshiro Mori. An information hotline was staffed by British expats, and an anonymous businessman funded a reward of £100,000.<br /><br />On February 9, 2001, Blackman's dismembered body was found, buried in a shallow grave under a bathtub in a seaside cave at Miura, Kanagawa, about 30 miles south of Tokyo, just a few hundred metres from Obara's apartment.The body had been cut into eight pieces. Her head had been shaved and encased in concrete. The discovery of the body was too late to determine the cause of the death.<br /><br />A trust promoting personal safety was established in Blackman's name. Her story was the subject of the book People Who Eat Darkness by Richard Lloyd Parry.<br />https://youtu.be/7fj0ArZ_3r0
