Has there ever been a high-profile case where a foreigner disappeared in Japan under mysterious circumstances?

Question:

By foreigner, I mean primarily people from Europe or the Americas.

And in the past 20-30 years or so.

Kidnapped, murdered, or fate unknown.

Thanks. (Just researching for a story.)

Answer:

Lucie's case could be the most sensational crime.

Just for your note, the suspect was a son of Korean immigrants. (Japanese authority tried to hide this)

And it's said that Lucy's parents had taken a very aggressive approach to Japanese police/press. (while a Japanese girl was missing in England, which went unsolved)
Lucy --> an illegal stayer with drug addiction
a Japanese girl --> a student on an exchange program
