About this listen
On the night of August 24th, 2007, a 31-year-old office worker left her job in Aichi Prefecture, Japan… and never made it home.
Her name was Rie Isogai.
She had no enemies. No dangerous lifestyle. No warning.
But somewhere else in the city, three men were refreshing a message board, an underground corner of the internet known in Japan as a “dark site.”
They weren’t friends.
They had never met in person.
But that night, they agreed on one thing:
They wanted money.
And they were willing to kill for it.
This case would shake Japan, not only because of its brutality, but because it forced the country to confront something new.
Strangers meeting online.
An anonymous digital world.
And a murder born from a website.
It would become known as the Dark Site Murder.
And in a country where the death penalty is rarely applied to a single killing… this case would test the limits of justice.
