In the second part of the season 4 finale, we dig deep into the investigation of Lucie's disappearance.

A grueling 7 month search took place before Lucie's body was eventually found under a bathtub inside a seaside cave.

The shocking discovery came when a man named Joji Obara was reported by several other hostesses who came forward and complained of waking up feeling sore and drugged. After police arrested him, they found hundreds of video tapes of him assaulting women, and the discovery of a woman named Carita Ridgeway who died at the hands of Obara.

It was a mission to find this man guilty of kidnapping and murdering Lucie Blackman.
