Rie Isogai (磯谷 利恵 Isogai Rie, 20 July 1976 – 25 August 2007) was a 31-year-old Japanese office clerk who was robbed and murdered in Aichi Prefecture, Japan on the night of 24 August 2007 by three men who became acquainted through an underground message board. Because the three men met on an underground website, the case is frequently called the Dark Site Murder (闇サイト殺人 Yami Saito Satsujin) in Japan, "dark site" being the Japanese term for underground websites. Usually death penalty will not be applied for a single case of murder. However, the mother of the victim launched a campaign to call for the death penalty which led to a signature campaign to call for the death penalty on the three murderers, one of whom was sentenced to death on 18 March 2009, and two of the murderers were sentenced to life in prison on 13 April 2011.
