Rie Fujii, left her two babies 15 month old Domenic and his three month old sister Gemini alone for ten days so she could enjoy sex and drugs with a new boyfriend. When she returned to her apartment she found her children had starved to death.  She put Gemini in a garbage bag and put her in a dumpster and wrapped Domenic in a blanket. She then left his body in the apartment and returned to Cochrane to visit her boyfriend for four more days.

 

Domenic's decomposing body was discovered in the apartment on June 5, 2001, when the landlord came to collect the rent and was overwhelmed by a sickening odor. Police divers scoured the murky Bow River for days after Fujii told investigators Gemini's body was wrapped in plastic bags and thrown into the water. Her body has never been recovered. Fujii surrendered to police several days after the discovery of Domenic's emaciated body. She was originally charged with two counts of second degree murder. Fujii pled guilty to manslaughter and was sentenced to eight years in prison. She served five years of her sentence and was deported back to Japan.
