Hello everyone and welcome back to the night scared now I know a lot of you use these videos to sleep so before you drift off I thought it would be a fun idea if everyone can leave a comment to let me know where you are listening from in the world also like And subscribe if you are enjoying the case right let's get comfy and relax and let's begin Story one on the morning of April Fool's Day 2013 Wang y a medical Research student at Fudan University in China woke up and poured a glass of water
from the water dispenser into his usual cup however as soon as he took a sip he felt something was wrong hangyong quickly spat out the water coughing violently and feeling intensely nauseous as if his body was trying to expel all the water he had just drunk remembering that this water dispenser had been purchased 2 weeks ago wangyang thought that perhaps the water had gone bad due To being left for too long and had developed an odor without much thought he took the water dispenser to clean it but he couldn't have known that from that moment
the countdown to his life had begun after cleaning the water dispenser hangyong went to the University library to study after just an hour he began to feel increasingly unwell experiencing nausea vomiting and a high fever by noon his condition had worsened to the point where Wong Yong Had to call two friends to take him to the hospital after receiving intravenous fluids and returning to into the dormatory at 600 p.m. Wang yangong still showed no signs of improvement he could only lie in bed and try to rest the next day the vomiting persisted and his body
began to show worrying signs of swelling through a series of tests doctors discovered that his platelet count was rapidly decreasing and his liver function was also abnormal that evening Hang yangyang's condition quickly deteriorated forcing doctors to transfer him to intensive care his father hang Guang received the terrible news and immediately traveled from Sichuan to Shanghai when he saw his son lying motionless on the hospital bed he nearly collapsed at the heartbreaking sight in the following days wangy Yang's illness progressed at an alarming rate his lungs gradually became fibrotic making it impossible for him to breathe
on his own By April 6th he began to have nose bleeds and his Consciousness became increasingly hazy the intense pain caused hangyong to lose control of his actions he thrashed about wildly and screamed in agony even when two or three medical staff tried to restrain him they couldn't control the situation eventually they had to use restraints to secure him to the bed ensuring safety for both him and those around him shortly after hangyong fell into a deep Coma his entire body was swollen with many bruises visible Under the Skin his face and body were so
distorted that they were almost unrecognizable compared to his original appearance standing by the hospital bed family members and doctors could only look at hang Yong with helpless and sorrowful eyes the doctors and family members were extremely worried constantly wondering what could have caused this illness Mr Hong couldn't Understand why his son who had been perfectly healthy had suddenly become like this on the first night in Shanghai Mr hang stayed temporarily in his son's dormatory there he met a roommate who introduced himself as being close to Hong Yong linon heo this young man though quiet was
very attentive to hangy Yang's father he patiently showed Mr hang which personal belongings belonged to his son throughout hangy Yang's hospitalization Sano visited three times Showing concern for his roommate however it wasn't until the 15th that hangu young learned a horrifying truth Lin s heo the seemingly close roommate was actually the perpetrator who had harmed his son's life on April 16th in the midst of excruciating pain and the medical team's helplessness Wang y passed away perhaps until his last moment he still didn't understand the real cause behind his mysterious illness this question also became a
haunting Obsession an unsolved mystery in the mind of The Grieving father to better understand the chain of events leading to this tragedy let's go back in time to the day before the incident occurred on Sunday afternoon March 31st 2013 the Funland Campus of Fudan University maintained its usual peaceful atmosphere no one could have imagined that in this tranquil setting a dark plan was taking shape ly Seno a graduate student from the class of 2010 at the medical school Appeared in the security camera footage of the school in his hand was a yellow plastic bag Upon
returning to the dormatory Sano carefully locked the door he was preparing to carry out a plan or more precisely as he would later claim an April Fool's Day prank for his roommate hang Yong in that yellow plastic bag Lin sen heo had conceed sealed a bottle of poison and a syringe all of these items had been secretly taken from the school's laboratory the Bottle contained 52 MERS of n nitrosodimethylamine Hereafter referred to as N2 this was not an ordinary chemical but an extremely potent poison the solution was yellow and emitted a pungent ammonia-like odor just
about 3 ml could be enough to kill an adult the dormatory room was shared by three people Lin s heo hang Yong and someone named gay Junkie however gay junkie being a Shanghai native and newly married rarely stayed At the dormatory initially Seno planned to Port TOA directly into hangy Yang's cup but he quickly realized that the yellow liquid would be too noticeable in the white cup therefore he decided to pour all the N2 into the water dispenser in the room but when he lifted the dispenser he discovered he couldn't operate it with one hand
so he set it back down he used one hand to tilt the water dispenser to one side while the other hand held the bottle allowing the Pure N2 to slowly flow in through the open Groove he then injected an additional 2 ml from the syringe when he noticed a few drops splashing onto the edge of the dispenser he quickly rinsed it with mineral water to erase the traces after completing everything Seno disposed of the clear plastic bag containing the syringe in the trash can on the fourth floor stairway of the dormatory he then threw the
yellow medical waste bag containing The Empty Bottle Into the trash connects to the phone booth at building two of the lecture hall this was also where he usually called home to his parents from the moment he completed the poisoning act ly Sano entered a complex psychological State beginning to deceive himself just an hour after this horrifying action perhaps due to Rising feelings of guilt or anxiety he felt uneasy and turned to internet search engines looking up information related To N2 when he read about liver damage caused by N2 linon heo quickly skimmed through and closed
the web page for serious terms like potentially fatal he selectively ignored them the question arises why would a medical graduate student like ly Sano need to search for this information didn't he know about the toxicity of N2 of course that wasn't the case in fact with his medical knowledge background Seno surely understood the dangers of this substance As early as 2011 he had conducted experiments on mice using N2 and even wrote all the experimental data in his thesis published in a journal the information search might have been an unconscious effort to seek confirmation that his
actions might not be as serious as he thought or to find ways to justify his behavior Sano continued the process of self-deception by selectively filtering information focusing only on less serious content and ignoring severe Warnings on websites he convinced himself that the strong smell of N2 would make hangyong suspicious and ask if someone had put something in the water Sano even relied on his previous experiment mental results on mice to comfort himself reasoning that even if hangyong drank a small amount it might not cause serious harm he rationalized in previous experiments most mice didn't die
after exposure to this substance and some even became healthier after a while With these thoughts he decided not to think about the consequences anymore simply thinking let's just see what happens unfortunately things didn't unfold as Sano had predicted on the morning of April 1st hangyong drank the water without any suspicion at that time Seno pretended to be asleep lying still not daring to move listening to the sound of his roommate stirring his cup and then coughing after drinking the water while hangyong was washing the Water dispenser sano's phone suddenly rang it was a classmate calling
to remind him about getting their medical practice certificates receiving this call Seno quickly jumped out of bed and hurriedly left the dormatory this action could have stemmed from two motives one was to go get the certificate as planned and the other was to avoid facing hang Yong and any potential questions to ensure he wouldn't run into hang Yong Seno cautiously waited until he was Certain his roommate had left the dormatory before returning the next day at noon ly s heo returned to the dormitory at that time he was interning at the ultrasound Department of xong
Shan hospital and usually stayed at the hospital during lunchtime but today he came back to see if Wong Yong would ask him about any issues with the however hangyong didn't suspect him at all as hangy Yang's health condition worsened he told Sano that he thought he Might have a cute gastric perforation and asked his roommate to help check around 5:00 p.m. Sano performed an ultrasound on hangyong after the examination he reported that there was nothing wrong with the stomach however perhaps due to a surge of guilt Sano unexpectedly added that the liver was also fine
immediately realizing he had slipped up by mentioning the liver he quickly changed the subject fortunately for him neither hang yangong nor the Friend accompanying him noticed this unusual detail after that hang Yang's condition rapidly deteriorated based on initial diagnosis doctors believed he might have been poisoned leading to liver damage but because the cause was unclear it was difficult to provide proper treatment hang Yang's brother and treating physician both felt that this case was unusual after discussion they sent samples of water urine and blood to the forensic Center for testing hoping To find the Cause 2
days later they even brought some of hangy Yang's personal items for testing including some food he had eaten and his drinking cup but both tests revealed nothing unusual after all N2 is not a common poison who would think to compare with it when he saw that the test results didn't detect any abnormalities linen heo felt surprised and silently wondered why the poison wasn't detected although aware that Hong Yong was gradually approaching death Sano chose to remain silent not revealing the truth he visited hang Yong in the hospital three times each time appearing very calm the
purpose of these visits was not out of sympathy or remorse but to observe whether hang Yang's condition was improving Seno consoled himself that hangyong had only consumed a small amount of poison and might recover in the next examination however in the eyes of hangy Yang's parents sano's Behavior carried a Completely different meaning they viewed his visit as if a scientist was observing his experimental subject good junkie hangy Yang's other roommate was also constantly worried and searching for the cause of the illness he had looked through hangy Yang's medical records and found the symptoms of acute
liver failure familiar on the evening of April 8th junkie suddenly remembered that Seno had once mentioned using a substance that could cause liver damage In organisms could hangyong have accidentally come into contact with it after searching the database he discovered the name of the substance it was already past 10: p.m. but junkie immediately called hang Yang's brother suggesting a thorough investigation into the N2 substance however their conversation was interrupted by Seno's return junkie was concerned that if s knew he was investigating the substance that he had used it might cause Unnecessary tension between friends with
this in mind he quickly ended the call and switched to texting to avoid drawing attention on April 9th following junkie suggest N2 was indeed detected in hang Yang's cup water dispenser and urine immediately junkie worried that Sano might become a suspect but very soon after junkie was cleared of Suspicion when faced with police questioning Sano remained silent about the truth it Wasn't until he was summoned for criminal investigation for the second time that he slowly revealed the truth during the interrogation Seno's confession gradually revealed the horrifying truth initially he tried to C up by claiming
he only used formaly a less dangerous poison later perhaps due to the pressure of the interrogation he changed his statement saying he had used a mixture of falah and N2 but only a small amount of 2 ml from the syringe However after enduring about 12 hours of continuous interrogation pressure Sano finally couldn't maintain his initial statement he confessed the terrifying truth in addition to the 2 ml from the syringe he had poured another 52 m lers of pure nitrogen 2 into hang Yang's drinking water the amount of poison Sano used was not only enough to
cause death but exceeded the lethal threshold by 20 to 30 times at this point many people would wonder if ly Sano and hang Yong Had some deep-seated hatred that led to such a cruel act causing the other to die so painfully what infuriated people was Seno's answer that they had no grudges or enmity his reason for doing this was simply to play a prank on the other wanting to make the arrogant hangyong experience a bit of suffering this reason sounds illogical and hard to accept after all he was a medical graduate student how could he
not have foreseen such consequences so where did All of this stem from linen heo was born in 1986 in Shanta city guangong province he was the third child in the family with two older sisters a younger brother and a younger sister his father previously worked at a garment Factory but lost his job when the factory went bankrupt when he was over 50 years old his mother often pulled a cart to collect recyclables to supplement the family's living expenses later she suffered a heart attack and lost her Ability to work a few years later the family
opened a small grocery store to make ends meat however the family of seven still lived quite a difficult life from a young age Seno showed excellent academic abilities becoming the hope and pride of his parents to improve the family's difficult circumstances Seno made unceasing efforts in his studies the results of these efforts were rewarded when he excellently passed the entrance exam to Sun yatson University One of China's top universities with an impressive score of 680 not stopping there Seno continued to prove his ability when he was directly admitted to the graduate program at Fudan University
to pursue a medical speciality Sano was very frugal in his life during his spare time he often took on many tutoring jobs and sent all the money he earned back home part of it went towards tuition for his younger siblings and part for his mother's medical treatment being placed Under high expectations in a poor family made him very ambitious but also extremely sensitive and intolerant of ridicule a student from a poor family had to rely on his own efforts to help improve the living conditions of the entire family to travel from his hometown to Shanghai
for study Sano had to take a small bus for 40 minutes to the center of Shanta City then travel 4 hours by coach to Shaman and finally by a hard seat train ticket for over 10 Hours to reach Shanghai during his undergraduate years he studied very diligently when in graduate school Seno published eight high-quality papers and domestic core journals additionally he was the vice president of the Student Union actively participating in public welfare activities it can be said that even at Fudan University a place Gathering many talents Seno was not inferior to anyone in 2013
the school even nominated him for doctoral studies But considering his family's actual circumstances to be able to start working and earning money sooner he declined this opportunity and went to intern at Jong Shan Hospital affiliated with Fudan University if nothing had happened he would soon have become a doctor in the ultrasound Department Seno had an educational background from a top university and was in a very promising field a bright future was opening up in the direction he had hoped for until Another young man moved M into the same dormatory room hangyong hang Yong was from
Sichuan province with a family background that had many similarities to S heos his family's life also went through difficulties when his father lost his job at a state-owned Enterprise to maintain their livelihood wangy Yang's father had to switch to managing dormitories at a high school a job with a modest but stable salary additionally hangy Yang's mother suffered from Gallstones in the bile duct which was also the motivation driving him to pursue a medical career both hangyong and S were talented and filial in the eyes of others but unlike Seno hangyong was an only child during
his 8 years of study because his parents didn't want to add any burden on their son they didn't allow him to send any money home therefore hang yangong used his part-time job earnings and scholarship money to improve his life buying a phone And a down jacket for his parents and even paying off the 300,000 Yuan approximately $46,000 surgery fee for his mother wangyang enjoyed traveling watching movies and often insisted on paying when going out with friends his personality was quite cheerful and outgoing during his Graduate Studies he didn't publish any papers but it was said
that this was simply because he didn't Place much importance on it before the incident Occurred he had just achieved the highest score in the oenology department exam and won the opportunity to directly pursue a PhD although both came from ordinary families hangyong often displayed a sense of superiority liking to boast about his abilities when talking he didn't pay much attention to others feelings sometimes unintentionally hurting others without realizing it he had repeatedly evaluated Seno in a joking manner bluntly saying That he was stingy and didn't know how to enjoy life sometimes he would even Pat
Seno on the shoulder and call him a country bumpkin for male students this might just be a form of teasing hangyang didn't consider it mockery perhaps thinking he and S had a good enough relationship to joke like that as for Seno when faced with these teases he mostly didn't respond and outwardly showed no emotion but in reality this dissatisfaction had been accumulating in His heart for a long time and was difficult to dissipate in February 2013 Seno and hangyong had a disagreement about the cost of the water purifier Sano believed that he didn't drink much
water daily as he always had drinking water in the laboratory library and hospital so he proposed not to pay for the water and would buy his own water later but hangyong immediately told gay junkie that from now on the two of them would pay for the water on the Night before April 1st 2013 wangyang excitedly told some other friends that April Fool's Day was coming and he had an idea to prank someone he then told a joke about how soaking feet in hot water would make people wet the bed he even patted the shoulder of
a friend standing next to Sano this friend was close to Sano when seeing hangy Yang's smug expression Sano felt very uncomfortable inside he thought you want to prank others so let me prank you First that's fair therefore the next day he prepared this deadly prank as for why he thought of poisoning in this way Sano recalled he had once heard that someone at a certain University had used thallium to poison their roommate and to this day hadn't been discovered later he learned through the press that the University was chingua University and the victim's name was
Ling at the initial trial Seno displayed an extremely cold and emotionless exterior Throughout the trial he never once looked towards his father sitting in the audience area even when the judge pronounced the death sentence and his father disagreeing with the verdict shouted loudly for an appeal Sano maintained a face that showed no emotion this attitude of Sano made many people present in the court shutter at his frightening coldness however those close to LY s heo such as his parents teachers and Friends friends had a completely Different view in their eyes Lin Seno's image was still
that of an outstanding student with a progressive Spirit they couldn't link the syo they knew with the three words murderer his father said my son is not a cold-hearted person his personality has always been like that no matter how painful things get he doesn't show it outwardly years ago when his mother had a heart attack and was rushed to the hospital many relatives were heartbroken and in tears but ly Seno Didn't show much emotion he was like a doctor instructing me mom might have to take medication for Life I'll take on a few more tutoring
jobs so Mom won't have to collect recyclables anymore in an interview with a reporter Seno's Elementary School teacher burst into tears saying that when she heard the news she couldn't sleep for several nights his high school teacher evaluated him as outwardly cold but warm inside with a sense of loyalty and Righteousness a year after graduating from middle school he returned home to organizer for his classmates to see their teachers but he himself quietly went last in the eyes of his classmates although Sano had an introverted personality they could all recognize through many small actions that
he was a warm person for example he would help his roommates fill hot water or tidy up their desks without saying anything in 2008 when the WAN earthquake occurred ly Sano donated 800 yuan at once equivalent to his living expenses for 2 months this money was originally what he had saved to send home regarding the medical profession ly s heo also had a noble and compassionate heart when inter turning at jongan hospital there were often patients in a hurry to get their report results near the end of the lunch break and they would offer him
money for help but Seno always firmly returned the money saying that these funds should be Used for the patience he once wrote on sometimes I really hate this medical profession because we can't help patients to the end when they need help when facing patients with unstable moods Sano wrote when we're busy or in a bad mood we often don't pay attention to patients feelings easily causing misunderstandings communication is an effective method it's a Pity that a future doctor with such a noble aspiration to save lives and help people Couldn't apply communication skills to resolve conflicts
with his classmate before the appeal hearing Sano had handwritten an apology letter to send to hang yangyang's parents but they refused to accept it Seno's father heartbroken at the thought of losing his son demanded a change of lawyer to plead not guilty but Seno firmly disagreed he wrote a letter to his father saying there's a Chinese saying truth speaks louder than eloquence in the face of Truth no matter how well one speaks it's useless I did indeed poison Hong Yong I can only plead guilty and must plead guilty subsequently 177 Fudan University students also sent
a joint letter to the Shanghai High People's Court requesting that ly s heo be given a chance to live so that he could reform and make amends and perhaps later care for hang Yang's parents in his stead during the appeal hearing Sano still maintained that he had no intention to kill and that the Poisoning was just an April Fool's Day prank but when the judge asked where the humor lay in this action if it was indeed a prank Seno was unable to answer from a criminal psychology perspective the ability to use such a cruel method
to kill someone without a clear motive can only indicate a subjective attitude that disregards the victim's life viewing this Behavior as a joke or a game in the end the court believed that ly Sano essentially showed no intention Of repentance could not be forgiven by the victim's family and there was no reason not to impose the death penalty for linon heo this result meant he had to pay for a life with his own life but he still owed a debt to his roommates parents after the sentencing Lin sen heo finally cried he looked at hangy
Yang's parents with a pained face hoping they could let go of their hatred and live healthily and positively from now on on December 11th 2015 Lin s heo met his Family for the last time and was subsequently executed his life ended at the age of 29 story two in 2002 a mysterious case unfolded in ganu South Korea when a woman reported her sister Park Yun kyong missing to the police what made the case particularly intriguing was that before her disappearance Park had left a cryptic message suggesting she was abandoning her current life to go somewhere
far away where no one could Find her initially the police treated it as a typical runaway case however as their investigation deepened they uncovered increasingly disturbing details especially concerning the involvement of a mysterious fortune teller born in the early 1980s in ganu parun kyong had led a relatively peaceful life until her marriage ended in divorce at age 30 after that she chose to live independently maintaining minimal contact with her family except For occasional phone calls to check on her mother she had one brother and two sisters Park was notably private maintaining virtually no social media
presence or public photos of herself to establish Financial Independence Park opened an indoor golf training facility thanks to the growing popularity of golf in South Korea her business proved quite successful while not wealthy the in from her golf facility allowed her to maintain a comfortable upper middle Class lifestyle despite her failed marriage Park hadn't given up hope of finding new happiness fate seemed to intervene when Jean sui a man born in 1979 entered her life their relationship began naturally when Jean became a regular customer at Park Golf facility through frequent golf sessions they gradually started
talking and eventually began going out for meals and coffee together Jean made no secret of his special interest in park however Contrary to his enthusiasm Park remained rather indifferent she sensed that Jean wasn't her type and rejected his romantic advances yet her rejection didn't discourage Jean who continued pursuing her persistently despite their ambiguous relationship status one day while busy at our golf facility Park received a strange text message from an unknown number it read your mother's illness isn't in her lungs but in her liver remember to tell her to seek Treatment at a different hospital
I have prayed for her and you should light incense at home when I arrive in poong I'll message you though she didn't know the sender Park could guess from the messages content that the intended recipient's mother was seriously ill thinking it was simply a wrong number she politely replied I believe you have the wrong number The Stranger quickly responded with a friendly tone Oh I'm sorry thank you for letting me know you Must be a kind person Good Fortune will surely come your way after reading these messages Park became curious about how the stranger knew
she was a woman intrigued she asked how did you know I'm a woman the response she received was unexpected I'm a fortune teller who helps people through divination and prayers through my readings I can see that you're a kind-hearted woman if you ever need help with anything just let me know I'll assist you free of charge in Korean culture Consulting fortune tellers is a common practice particularly popular among women therefore it's understandable that Park felt fortunate to have seemingly stumbled Upon A benevolent fortune teller through this chance text exchange it appeared to be a serendipitous
encounter without hesitation Park shared her name and birth date with the fortune teller soon after she received a response your path and love has not been Smooth you've experienced one failed marriage currently someone is pursuing you but you remain hesitant let me tell you this don't hesitate anymore accept his feelings he will bring you good fortune what a astonished Park was that the fortune teller accurately described the physical appearance of her pursuer a man who matched jyn's description perfectly to further test this mysterious fortune teller's abilities Park asked several more questions once Again she was
amazed by the Precision of each answer these experiences gradually LED Park to place complete trust in the fortune teller and consequently she began opening her heart to Jean events unfolded exactly as the fortune teller had predicted Park and Jin relationship developed rapidly and soon she decided to move in with him life seemed to be moving in a positive direction until tragedy struck Park's mother passed away in November 2021 during the somber Atmosphere of the funeral there was an emotional moment when Park reunited with her brother and two sisters after seven years apart the four siblings
embraced tears flowing as past misunder understandings and resentments seemed to dissolve in this sacred moment of reunion their family bonds grew stronger than than ever before throughout this time Jean remained by Park's side helping with all the funeral arrangements he presented himself as a Thoughtful considerate man and quickly won the approval of Park's entire family Jee introduced himself as the owner of a successful tattoo parlor with a comfortable financial status he consistently demonstrated love and special attention toward Park earning endless praise from everyone around them to Park's three siblings Jean seemed like the ideal brother-in-law
kind genuine and approach able step by step Jean became an indispensable part of the Park Family frequently visiting and naturally blending in as a family member Park often brought him to visit her father and attend family gatherings though they weren't officially married in the minds of her three sisters Jean was already their brother-in-law to everyone around them Park and Jean appeared to be the perfect couple jyn's presence brought a fresh energy and happiness to the entire family however family members began noticing unusual Chang changes in park she suddenly decided to undergo plastic surgery to create
dimples in her cheeks and got numerous tattoos actions completely contrary to her traditional nature previously known for her conservative lifestyle these bold changes surprised everyone though concerned no one dared to question Park directly they simply assumed these changes were influenced by jyn's profession as a tattoo artist the family's happiness seemed destined to Last forever but fate had other plans just 6 months later an unexpected tragedy struck plunging the family into crisis in May 2022 Jean suddenly approached Park's two sisters with a grief stricken face through tears he made a shocking accusation your sister has been
unfaithful she's taken 32 million of my money and disappeared I don't know where she is please help me find her the two sisters were stunned by this devastating news they broke down Crying repeatedly apologizing to Jean and begging for his forgiveness for their sister's actions they promised to help search for her however what they hadn't told Jean was that a few days earlier the second sister had received a mysterious text from Park in the message their sister revealed her plan to flee with jyn's money the text read I've decided to leave and take brother-in-law's money
I'm going somewhere far away where no one can find Me I want you to come with me shocked by this mysterious message the sister quickly replied where are you everyone's looking for you parks resp response was brief I'm in yosu with another man I'm not coming back after this message Park seemed to vanish completely leaving no trace of communication deeply concerned for their sister's safety the Two Sisters discussed the situation and decided to contact the police however when Jee heard about this plan he Strongly objected saying I don't want to make this public I just
want to find her and bring her back jyn's strange reaction raised suspicions in Park's brother-in-law's mind how could someone someone remained so calm after losing $3.2 million more notably Jean didn't seem concerned about Park's safety at all these suspicious circumstances prompted the second sister following her husband's advice to report the case to the police at the station she provided a Detailed account of her sister's relationship with Jean sui to the investigators immediately after receiving the report police contacted Jean sui for questioning however an unexpected development occurred when asked to present identification Gene provided false information
this action immediately raised red flags among the investigation team they couldn't help but wonder why would someone seeking to recover such a large sum of money need To hide his true identity what was Jean trying to conceal as the investigation deepened police uncovered more suspicious details background checks revealed that Jean sui had a criminal record this truth stood in stark contrast to the image of the kind moral man he had carefully C culated in the eyes of Park's family with mounting suspicions police quickly obtained a warrant to search jyn's Home and Car the search yielded
a crucial Discovery Park's phone was found in jyn's house faced with this undeniable evidence Jee had no choice but to confess his horrific crime according to his confession a few days earlier during an argument with Park Jean had lost control of his anger and strangled her until she stopped breathing after the murder he had stuffed her body into a suitcase and hidden it in an abandoned house in the suburbs to misdirect the investigation Jean had cleverly used the victim's Phone to send messages to her family creating a false narrative about Park stealing money and running
away with the truth revealed the elaborate scheme Jean had meticulously planned transforming a brutal murder into a story of infidelity and theft following jyn's directions police finally discovered Park's body the Revelation dealt a devastating blow to the park family they couldn't believe that the man they had welcome as their gentle kind brother-in-law was actually A cold-blooded murderer who had ruthlessly killed their beloved sister in their profound grief the family demanded that police pursue the harshest possible legal consequences against Jean as the investigation expanded police uncovered another significant detail Park had maintained regular contact with a
mysterious fortune teller for several years notably this same fortune teller had influenced major decisions in Park's life encouraging her relationship with Jeene suggesting plastic surgery and recommending tattoos the fortune teller had even specified exact times and locations for Park to meet with Jean while fortune telling is common in South Korea this level of involvement raised serious concerns in June 2022 just as police were finalizing the case file for the prosecutor's office a startling new witness emerged Kim Su young a successful 40-year-old businesswoman With circumstances similar to Parks came forward like Park Park Kim had divorced
at 30 and was living independently Kim's decision to contact police came after watching a news report about jyn's case she was shocked to recognize the murderer as the man she had dated for years earlier unable to believe that someone she had known could be capable of murder Kim rushed to the police station to verify the information when the truth was confirmed Kim decided to Share her own story one that bore striking similarities to Park's experience 6 years earlier while Kim was focusing on her career both she and Jean were single and began meeting regularly however
before their relationship started Kim had received a mysterious text from an unknown number following the exact same pattern as Park's experience thinking it was a wrong number Kim had politely replied just as Park had done she received the same kind Of friendly response followed by an introduction from someone claiming to be a fortune teller who offered free assistance from this chance conversation they began regular texts to exchanges a scenario eerily similar to how Park had been lured into the Trap following the fortune teller's advice Kim had opened her heart to Jean during their time together
she felt incredibly happy and believed she had found her soulmate her feelings grew so deep that she began Considering marriage she regularly shared her Joy with the fortune teller whom she trusted and frequently consulted for advice during difficult times however their seemingly perfect romance took a bizarre turn during one of of their outings Jean suddenly doubled over clutching his stomach his face contorted in pain witnessing this Kim panicked Upon returning home she frantically messaged the fortune teller about the incident seeking Guidance the Fortune teller's response was shocking Kim must break up with Jean immediately or
she would lose her life despite this warning Kim's deep love for Jean prevented her from ending the relationship each time they met Jean would repeat this performance of pain causing Kim increasing anxiety then one day like a leaf in the wind Jee vanished without a word of goodbye no one had heard from him since after jyn's disappearance Kim had desperately Searched for him by every possible means she even reached out to the fortune teller for help but received a cold response your fate with him is over stop looking for him for four long years jyn's
memory had lingered in Kim's mind that's why she was especially shocked to discover that the man she had once loved was actually a brutal murderer in Kim's Jean had been gentle and kind an image completely contradicting the coldblooded killer in the news notably Kim's Impression of Jean matched perfectly with how Park's family had viewed him these details revealed Jean sui as an extremely cunning individual who had masterfully crafted a perfect facade to deceive those around him police investigation further revealed that both Park and Kim had been in contact with the same fortune teller the one
who had encouraged both women to date Jean this discovery intend intensified police suspicions and led them to focus more Closely on the mysterious fortune teller's identity during the investigation an unexpected lead emerged from the prison where Jean was being held a woman surnamed Yun had visited him and provided him with $8,000 for personal expenses police quickly identified this woman who confessed to being jyn's lover for several years though they had no plans for marriage like the others she claimed a fortune teller had predicted she would find Good Fortune by dating Jean indeed her business had
flourished during their relationship making her wealthy enough to lease a luxury car worth $2,500 monthly for jyn's use police discovered that M Yan bore a striking resemblance to park the murder victim this was no coincidence as she too had undergone plastic surgery at the fortune teller suggestion by now police had identified three victims with Intertwining stories all connected to a single fortune teller the critical question remained who was really behind the fortune teller's mask in their effort to uncover the truth police approached Kim for the fortune teller's address however Kim could only shake her head
she explained that she had never visited the fortune teller's home as he had warned it would bring bad luck the mystery surrounding this figure only strengthened investigators determination To uncover his true identity the investigation took a dramatic turn when Park's family provided crucial new information Park's third sister came forward to the police with a disturbing account she revealed that she too had been in contact with the fortune teller months earlier and had regularly exchanged messages with him most alarmingly just weeks before Park's murder the fortune teller had made an ominous suggestion She should divorce her
husband and move in with Jean to receive good fortune the fortune teller had even threatened that if she didn't comply her husband would die these menacing prophecies had thrown her into such emotional turmoil that she had contemplated suicide through analysis of telecommunication data police made a startling Discovery Park had been using two different phone numbers while one was known to everyone the other was completely new to the Investigation curiously the call history on this second phone showed only calls to Park's original number this finding prompted police to conduct a second thorough search of both Park

given Park in his role as the fortune teller before the murder the park family was outraged by jyn's horrific crimes they proposed a terrifying theory about his motives that killing Park wasn't just murder but part Of a scheme to gain control over her younger sister this suspicion gained credibility considering how Jean had forced his girlfriend M Yun to undergo plastic surgery to look exactly like Park he may have planned to use this physical similarity to continue deceiving people and cover up his crime Jean clearly understood that only after Park's disappearance would her sister be willing

smell The pleasant Aroma of the Christmas tree that she and her husband had decorated together however an unsettling feeling crept over Lynn as she noticed the House's Eerie silence along with a strange Indescribable odor hanging in the air then as she stepped into the living room the sight before her made her knees Buckle under the twinkling Christmas lights Willie lay Less on the floor surrounded by shattered decorations blood from the wounds on his Head had soaked into the carpet and beside him lay a hammer covered in dark red stains a liquid that Lynn in her
utter despair recognized as her beloved husband's blood the victim of this horific murder was Willie Tanner age 49 owner of Channel Hardware a local hardware store that had been operating for over 20 years Willie was known for his warm smile behind the counter always welcoming customers and ready to chat about anything under the sun in Everyone's eyes Willie seemed to have an ideal life he was married to Lyn Tanner his high school sweetheart the couple regularly participated in local church activities and charity events however few knew that behind this perfect facade willly was harboring a
secret despite being known as a devoted husband and model citizen he was having an affair with Madison Kelly an 18-year-old high school student Madison was a regular customer at Wily's store carrying with Her the radiant smile of Youth and a beauty that captivated many over time their relationship evolved into a clandestine Affair the illicit relationship with a girl nearly three decades his Junior kept Willie in constant turmoil torn between guilt and desire his conscience particularly troubled him as Christmas approached though Willie knew he was treading a dangerous path he seemed to have lost all self-control
to his passionate Emotions as Christmas Drew nearer Wily's changes became more apparent the once War home was frequently empty of his presence family dinners increasingly replaced by excuses about late work though Lynn noticed these changes in her husband she tried to convince herself it was just the usual stress of the holiday business season not only Lynn but neighbors and close friends also couldn't help but notice how Willy's usual smile had been replaced by worried Glances and a troubled demeanor Fate has cruel ways of changing lives in an instant on that seemingly peaceful Sunday morning just
days before Christmas Lynn faced the most horrific nightmare of her life before her lay the lifeless body of her her world crumbled her mind reeling her body trembling uncontrollably the terror and anguish gripped her heart like an invisible hand in her Panic Lynn struggled to maintain Composure as she reached for the phone her voice broke through tears as she sobbed oh God my husband he's not breathing there's blood blood everywhere the 911 dispatcher gently instructed Lynn to keep away from the scene and wait for police and paramedics to arrive within moments the Tranquility of the
quiet street was shattered by sirens and the flashing red and blue lights of ambulances and police cars curious eyes peered from neighboring Windows Whispering and speculating about the sudden tragedy on the front steps Lynn sat with a vacant stare into space her soul seemingly unable to catch up with the devastating events that had just unfolded through the Curious crowd detective Norah Collins approached a woman who exudes experience with years in law enforcement as she stepped down from her patrol car Collins immediately noticed the bitter irony the roof still adorned with twinkling Christmas lights And a
bright wreath while inside the warm home a bloody tragedy awaited her investigation the living room once filled with laughter now lay cold and lifeless the Christmas tree stood as a Silent Witness to the bloody tragedy its lights casting an eerie glow the twinkling decorative lights reflected off scattered ornament fragments across the floor under the Christmas tree where presents should have been lay Willie in a pool of Dark blood his head had been brutally battered by merciless Hammer blows creating an unspeakably horrific scene blood had splattered everywhere soaking into nearby decorations staining the bright wrapping paper
and shimmering ribbons with the composure of someone who had faced numerous bloody crime scenes detective Collins quickly began her work her Keen eyes missed nothing examining every inch of the scene as if assembling piece pie of a shattered Puzzle of crime the murder weapon a blood covered Hammer was carefully collected each blood stain and potential fingerprint potentially holding the key to identifying the killer notably while blood was splattered throughout the area the crime scene was confined to a small space Around The Christmas Tree furthermore besides the area where Willie lay there were no signs of
a struggle or fight this suggested that the victim had been caught completely Off guard a sudden Swift attack with no chance to defend him himself the following day the forensics team arrived at the scene led by Dr Philip long a medical examiner renowned for his meticulous attention to detail and Precision in his white protective suit he carefully examined Wily's body each wound on the victim's head was documented measured and photographed the severe trauma to the skull region which had endured multiple fatal Hammer blows Was determined to be the direct cause of death based on the
body's rigor mortise he estimated the time of death between midnight and 1:00 p.m. the previous day detective Collins ordered her colleagues to collect all possible evidence from the crime scene including fingerprints photographs and any clues that might point to the killer they also interviewed Lyn Tanner despite still being in shock Lynn managed to provide information about her morning and Willy's activities from the day before as the investigation deepened detective Collins increasingly felt this was a crime committed in a fit of rage the brutality of the attack suggested the kill was either Furious or jealous emotions
that often lead to uncontrolled violent Behavior the question remained who had enough hatred for Willie Tanner to commit such a brutal act the first suspect on detective Collins list was Madison Kelly the 18-year-old high School student who was Willy's secret lover Madison was an active and talented girl who participated enthusiastically in extracurricular activities including the School drama club she had impressed audiences with her leading role in a local theater production however few knew that beneath her perfect and confident exterior Madison was emotionally fragile a condition that had become increasingly apparent in recent months Madison lived
with her mother Tammy Kelly in a small but well-kept house in the suburbs the Kelly family was known for being private with Tammy maintaining strict control over Madison and holding rigid views about her daughter's appearance especially after Madison's father came out as gay and left the family on the afternoon of December 22nd the same day Willy's body was discovered detectives visited the Kelly residence to speak with Madison she was still in her pajamas sitting in Her bedroom and appeared shocked when informed about Willie's death the room looked like any typical teenage girl's bedroom with posters
of pop stars like Taylor Swift and Ariana Grande on the walls however there were items suggesting a connection between Madison and Willie on her bedside table detective Collins noticed a framed photograph of a shirtless when examining the girl's Diaries investigators found numerous entries Detailing intimate encounters between the two including sensitive details about their relationship during the initial interrogation Madison was cooperative with the police but her demeanor changed dramatically when questioned about her relationship with Willie she became unusually emotional Madison admitted to the affair and described how their relationship had gradually developed over the past year
she revealed that she had deeply loved Willie and had had imagined a future with him however things changed as Christmas approached and he became increasingly distant Madison admitted she had been afraid thinking he was planning to end their relationship when detective Collins asked about Madison's whereabouts on the night of the Murder She hesitant replied that she had been home alone studying this Alibi was unconvincing to investigators and her behavior made them even more suspicious Her streaming tears and Trembling Hands indicated she was under immense pressure though it was wasn't clear whether from guilt or grief
the interrogation continued in a tense atmosphere Madison's demeanor shifted noticeably transforming from grief stricken to hardened she insisted she had nothing to do with Will's death then unexpectedly she began making incoherent statements and attempted to blame a mysterious man she called Bob according to Madison Bob Had been manipulating her behavior throughout this time forcing her to maintain the intimate relationship with Willie under threats of harm however when detective Collins pressed for more details about this mysterious Bob Madison became evasive and appeared confused Madison's testimony contained numerous contradictions detective Collins didn't believe the girl story at
all the irregularities in Madison's emotional responses her obsession with Willie and her unconvincing Alibi made her the primary suspect in the case however detective Collins knew she needed more concrete evidence before making an arrest after meeting with Madison Kelly detective Collins turned her attention to another key figure in the case Lyn Tanner Willy's wife of 25 years in the eyes of their neighbors Lynn was an industrious and enthusiastic woman from the outside everyone thought she had a blissful marriage however Detective Collins knew a different truth Lynn had long harbored suspicions about her husband's infidelity in
the days before the murder Lynn had been busy preparing for Christmas she was actively involved in church activities in including helping with preparations for the Christmas Eve service at First Baptist Church to others Lynn appeared to believe in her family's happiness but internally she was increasingly anxious she had noticed her husband's frequent Absences from home and whenever she asked willly would claim he was working late or attending church activities however a wife's intuition told her that her husband was hiding something during the December 22nd interview Lynn was still in shock from discovering her husband's body
that morning sitting at her kitchen table she recounted their marriage to the investigators she described Willie as a loving husband but candidly admitted their relationship had Lost its spark in recent years especially after their son left for college she then revealed her suspicions about his infidelity noting that he frequently rejected physical intimacy though she could never find concrete evidence at this point Lynn's tears began flowing again perhaps it was the pain of losing Willie mixed with the disappointment of their fractured relationship that proved too overwhelming when asked about her Whereabouts on the night of the
murder Lynn stated she had been home preparing for the next day's church service she said she went to bed early expecting Willie to join her later around midnight she woke up to find his side of the bed empty and assumed he had fallen asleep on the living room couch it wasn't until the following morning's horrific discovery that she learned the truth Lyn's account of that night seemed clear and logical however detectives couldn't Rule out the possibility that she had killed her husband over suspicions of his affair the brutality of the murder suggested this wasn't just
about taking a life it stemmed from deep emotional issues moreover as Willy's wife Lynn had both opportunity and motive to commit this act yet one thing detective Collins was certain about Lynn appeared genuinely devastated by her husband's death and had been fully Cooperative throughout the investigation she Answered all questions without hesitation and even agreed to let police examine Willy's personal belongings including his phone and computer after interviewing Lin Tanner detective Collins moved on to investigate another significant figure in the case Tammy Kelly Madison's mother Tammy was known as a strong willed and authoritarian woman she
had a reputation for perfectionism and was obsessed with appearances her house was always Immaculately maintained especially after her gay husband's departure she was also actively involved in community activities and frequently organized events at the local church however Tammy's greatest concern was always her only daughter Madison the relationship between Tammy and Madison was constantly strained Madison was a beautiful and alluring young woman but these very qualities made Tammy anxious and insecure she exerted excessive control Over her daughter micromanaging every aspect of Madison's life from clothing choices to education and friendships neighbors knew that Tammy placed extremely
high expectations on her daughter and would become angry when Madison failed to meet her demands there were even rumors that Tammy would resort to physical punishment whenever she felt her daughter was attracting too much attention from Men in the community on December 23rd the day after the murder Detective Collins visited Tammy at her home she appeared unaffected by the previous day's events calmly inviting detective Collins into her living room which was pristinely kept and decorated with traditional Christmas ornaments Tammy spoke with a composed and confident demeanor through her eyes betrayed in underlying tension Collins began
the interview by asking about Tammy's relationship with Willie without hesitation Tammy praised him describing Him as a good man however when the conversation shifted to Madison her attitude became noticably more guarded she admitted feeling dissatisfied with her daughter's recent Behavior noting that had started wearing makeup and more revealing clothing in the weeks before the murder to verify her suspicions detective Collins directly asked Tammy if she knew about the intimate relationship between her daughter and Willie as expected Tammy tried to evade The question while denying any knowledge of the affair she acknowledged noticing that Madison's dress
had become increasingly provocative even describing it as prostitute like Tammy claimed she had tried talking to her daughter but Madison wouldn't listen and insisted everything was fine after interviewing Tammy Kelly detective Collins felt troubled could blind jealousy and an obsessive need to control her daughter have driven Tammy to kill Willie surely Discovering her daughter's relationship with a much older man would have been deeply humiliating and her worst nightmare Tammy certainly had a motive she might have wanted to end the relationship at any cost however throughout the interview Tammy maintained an unnaturally cold and calm demeanor
she showed no signs of guilt or remorse while she was polite and Cooperative with the police she provided no useful information after the Interview detectives knew they couldn't eliminate from their list of suspects the investigation grew increasingly complex as each suspect had their own secrets and potential motives but there was still no concrete evidence pointing to the killer the detectives were still piecing together the clues when a breakthrough finally came on December 24th 2019 just one day before Christmas that morning in Tifton Georgia under gloomy Skies with temperatures around 39° F detective Collins and her
colleagues returned to the Tanner residence to re-examine every corner of the crime scene they were determined to find any evidence they might have missed no matter how small their persistence paid off when an officer discovered a torn piece of paper near the fireplace where carefully wrapped Christmas presents had been placed the paper had been hidden under a rug with only a corner visible It appeared to be a handwritten note though only part of the content was legible you dirty boy meet me at 1: p.m. followed by the initials MK this small piece paper proved to
be a major breakthrough in the investigation the initials MK immediately caught detective Colin's attention could MK stand for Madison Kelly if so the time mentioned in the note coincided with Wily's estimated time of death and detective Collins realized this could be crucial Evidence linking Madison to the crime and placing her at the scene when the murder occurred not wasting any time detective Collins immediately requested a handwriting analysis of the note she needed to confirm whether it belonged to Madison the paper was sent to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation in Atlanta for expert analysis while waiting
for the results detective Collins returned to Madison's home to conduct another search looking for Anything that might connect to the note or the murder the results were startling in Madison's bedroom hidden under her mattress detective Collins and her colleagues discovered a diary the journal contained numerous entries revealing Madison's obsession with Willie including detailed descriptions of their intimate encounters and plans for secret meetings most significantly one entry dated December 22nd matched the time and location mentioned in the Note found at Will's house the torn note and the diary became crucial pieces of evidence proving Madison had
been at the crime scen the night of the murder moreover they revealed her clear motive jealousy and Obsession after these undeniable pieces of evidence were discovered Madison Kelly was formally arrested on December 26th 2019 what surprised everyone was her eerily calm demeanor as she was handcuffed and led away the news of the Arrest shocked the community people couldn't believe that such a beautiful young girl could commit such a brutal act while Wily's family was still overwhelmed with grief and disappointment over his sudden death they felt some relief knowing the killer had finally been caught in
early 2020 Madison Kelly's trial began the case Drew significant public attention with the courtroom packed on the day of the proceedings the prosecution argued that Madison's actions were premeditated they contended that her feelings for Willie Tanner had evolved into a dangerous Obsession and she killed him when he tried to end their illicit relationship the evidence that Madison brought the hammer to their meeting proved she had planned the violent act in advance the defense attorney presented a completely different perspective she argued that Madison was mentally unstable at the time of the Murder she explained that Madison
had suffered a psychological breakdown after Willie attempted to end their relationship furthermore the secret nature of their Affair had only worsened her mental state the attorney appealed to the jury to consider Madison's troubled family life and its profound impact on her psychological well-being she portrayed Madison as a vulnerable young girl who had been exploited by a much older man eventually she argued the Immense pressure had caused Madison to snap throughout the trial Wily's family sat silently in the front row their faces etched with grief they listened in silence as details of Wily's double life were
exposed beyond the pain of losing Willie they felt the additional anguish and disappointment of learning how he had betrayed their trust especially his wife of 25 years the trial of Madison Kelly lasted several days with conflicting arguments presented finally After careful deliberation on February 18th 2020 the jury reached their verdict Madison Kelly was found guilty of second degree murder and sentenced to 25 years in prison the verdict sparked considerable controversy many felt the sentence was too lenient given the brutality of her crime others argued it was a fair judgment considering her young age and mental
state regardless of the outcome Wily's family felt relieved that the case had finally concluded they Understood that the psychological wounds would remain with them forever and they would need to learn to live with this pain as the trial ended life in Tifton gradually returned to normal though memories of the tragic case lingered Will's Hardware store closed permanently as for Lynn despite community support and encouragement she couldn't overcome the trauma she ultimately decided to sell their family home and moved to another town to start a new life the Truth of the case had been fully revealed
an 18-year-old girl had destroyed her future by falling into an ill-fated relationship with a man nearly three decades her senior the story Left Behind important lessons about morality and proper conduct in relationships while also demonstrating the serious consequences that can occur when people let their their emotions override their judgment leading to irreversible tragic actions Story 4 the case takes place in Juan Township nantu County Taiwan on the morning of May 12th 2003 a young couple hiking in the mountains to gather herbs made a shocking Discovery an unidentified corpse this remote area was sparsely populated so
they rushed down the mountain to the only nearby restaurant with trembling voices they counted their Grim fine to the restaurant owner who promptly called the police after an agonizing 15-minute wait the police finally arrived at the scene Guided by the couple they made their way through the overgrown mountain path eventually they discovered the body of a woman lying on a steep rock face the victim appeared to be between 40 and 50 years old wearing a dress but naked from the waist down with no underwear initial observations suggested this was neither suicide nor accident a quick
examination confirmed this suspicion the time of death was estimated to be just 2 days prior the victim's left arm showed signs Of being bound indicating she may have been assaulted before her death there was evidence of blunt force trauma to the back of her head the cause of death was determined to be strangulation natu County was known for its simple peaceful way of life and had never before witnessed such a brutal crime the pressing questions were who killed this woman and why to solve the case investigators first needed to identify the victim however there were
no Identifying items found on the body her phone and purse were missing the only clue was a series of seven Arabic numerals written on her left palm the police released a description of the victim hoping to find relatives or friends of the deceased soon after a man surnamed Duke came forward to identify the victim he confirmed she was his mother chining age 48 she was a single mother of three who ran a successful karaoke bar in town notably her designer Handbag watch and necklace were all missing this led police to initially suspect a Robbery Homicide
when checking the victim's Bank withdrawal records security footage showed a heavily disguised man attempting to withdraw money but failing due to incorrect pin entries chining was known to have good business relationships and got along well with her neighbors never making enemies so who was this mysterious man at this point an investigator recalled The numbers on chining Palm he hypothesized could these seven digits be a phone number investigation revealed the number belonged to an apartment building in Ming xang Township ji County the owner was a man named Lynn however a bigger issue arose Mr Lynn was
a landlord and this building was his rental property hundreds of people lived there all Lynn's tenants any of them could have been the owner of that phone number with such an extensive tenant List the police were unsure where to begin fortunately investigating the victim social connections yielded results on the day chining disappeared she had driven to nangong Temple in lioet Township tan she parked her car and left it with an attendant then departed with an unidentified person although they didn't know the license plate police could trace the car's route based on available information by reviewing
surveillance footage along the Way they hoped to locate the vehicle after tireless investigation the police finally found the car the owner was named Chen ruong and this name also appeared on the tenant list provided by Mr Lynn when the investigator saw this name he immediately recognized it more precisely this was one of the most memorable suspects in his entire police career this Chun Ru Kong was somewhat famous in jaii City though in a rather peculiar way born in ji County he was Considered talented in his youth after retiring from the Air Force Ru Kong joined
the Ming xang oil Supply Center of the Chinese petroleum Corporation as an oil truck driver later through self-promotion he became an engineer at the oil Distribution Center on the surface Ru Kong appeared a bit slow-witted but he was actually quite Adept at managing social relationships neighbors and colleagues all had a good impression of him in the 1980s he could Earn 80,000 New Taiwan dollars about $2,800 per month placing him firmly in the high income bracket however fate seemed to play cruel jokes on rou Kong while his career flourished his family experienced success of of tragedies
two wives and a son all died in accidents in the eyes of others Ru Kong seemed to be a lonely star cursed by Fate in 1974 he married 22-year-old zenisha after marriage they had a son and two daughters they were considered a model Family the couple never argued and often took their children on outings however in 1985 an accident occurred bisha was hit by a falling ceiling fan and hospitalized although it sounded terrible she suffered a broken leg and mild concussion unexpectedly on the second day of her Hospital stay zung bisha fell from her bed
this fall led to intracranial hemorrhage and she died several days later despite emergency treatment the hospital bed was only About 27 in high making such a fatal fall seem implausible however the chin family could only accept this outcome due to bia's sudden death chin Ru Kong received 2.35 million New Taiwan dollars about $882,000 Us in Insurance compensation just 6 months after Bish's death he remarried to Wang shuang a divorced Elementary School teacher with a son although this marriage began Midway through both their lives they seemed to find happiness and contentment Together however fate once again
played a cruel trick on this family in 1988 a heartbreaking incident occurred when Ru Kong discovered his stepson associating with delinquents Upon returning home Ru Kong argued with the boy angered the stepson ran away from home but tragically fell down a staircase hit his head and died shortly after after this incident when facing shuying Ru Kong felt immense pain and regret but what's done was done and they could only Console themselves by thinking it was the arrangement of Fate time passed and the chin family seemed to return to normaly but by late 1995 tragedy struck
again Ru Kong's biological son Chun Jen Hong was accidentally injured while out alone he returned home complaining only of a headache without explaining how he was hurt on the way to the hospital he fell into a coma and died shortly after due to delayed treatment losing two sons in succession plunged the family Into Darkness neighbors were filled with sympathy unable to understand why Misfortune kept befalling them many advised the couple to check their homes fun thinking something might be affecting their fate but it didn't end there just a year later Wang shuang Ru Kong's second
wife also met met with a tragic accident perhaps still grief stricken from losing her son she was distracted while driving and crashed into a roadside guardrail when Ru Kong Received the call from the police he learned his wife had already passed away one might think this was the peak of the family's tragedies but subsequent events would raise even more questions about the suspicious coincidences surrounding this family in 1997 Ru Kong married for the third time once again he married a single mother with a son her name was Yen Leen and she owned a clothing store
her son was in high school Ru Kong still appearing somewhat slow-witted was very Good to his wife's son even offering rides on rainy days with Ru Kong's stable job and high income lein felt he was a man she could entrust her life to just when everyone thought this might be the start of a new life for them tragedy struck again only a year later Lin's son chin Jong Ching died in a traffic accident since the boy was older the couple didn't close ly monitor him especially Ru Kong as The Stepfather on the day of the
incident the couple had Gone to bed early at midnight when Ru Kong woke up to use the bathroom he found his stepson lying on the sofa with a head wound he quickly woke his wife telling her to start the car while he carried the boy downstairs sadly despite a night of emergency treatment at the hospital they couldn't save him after a simple funeral life seemed to return to normal but unlike previous incidents a secret invest tigation into Chun Jong Ching's death was underway the police in Charge of the case were filled with suspicion How could
a severe traffic accident causing such a serious head injury not be reported to authorities immediately why did they wait until after the victim's death to report it these details added to the mystery surrounding the series of tragedies in Ru Kong's family according to the location of the traffic accident provided by Ru Kong police found no surveillance cameras at the scene Moreover chin couldn't spe specify exactly where the incident occurred notably Jong Ching's bicycle showed no signs of collision this raised a big question how could someone so severely injured cycle home faced with a barrage of
questions from the police Ru Kong suddenly changed his statement he said that when he discovered his son on the sofa the boy was already unconscious and everything he said before was just speculation he assumed his son must have Been in a car accident however these new explanations only made the situation more confusing and illogical the situation became even more suspicious when police checked Jing's Insurance records they discovered that just 3 months before the accident Ru Kong had purchased accident insurance for his son from five different insurance companies totaling millions in coverage this was puzzling as
Jong Ching was just an ordinary student not involved in any Dangerous activities with a monthly salary of $80,000 New Taiwan dollars about $2,800 Ru Kong was spending $220,000 to $30,000 NTD $700 to $1,050 on his son's insurance premiums which seemed unreasonable notably lein Ru Kong's wife knew nothing about these insurance policies regarding this Ru Kong defended himself by saying life is full of unexpected accidents this explanation coming from someone who had Experienced so many family tragedies sounded quite convincing he argued that his pre previous losses had made him more sensitive about insurance additionally he claimed
that recommendations from friends in the insurance industry led him to purchase multiple policies for his stepson to prove his innocence Ru Kong agreed to take a lie detector test however the results were not as expected as he failed to pass some crucial questions Previously each incident had occurred at different times and was handled by separate units so no one noticed anything unusual however when the police conducted Ed a comprehensive investigation they discovered suspicious similarities between the accidents notably most victims died from severe head trauma with causes reported as traffic accidents or Falls another important detail
was that except for the case of Wong shuang his second wife Ru Kong was always the only person present at the scene when these incidents occurred these factors made it difficult to explain the events simply as life's uncertainties faced with police suspicion Ru Kong remained very calm however at this point the media began extensively reporting on his alleged murders of his wives and children for insurance fraud this completely disrupted the investigation's Rhythm before the police could react Ru Kong Proactively contacted reporters tearfully accusing the police of framing him while pressuring insurance companies to quickly pay
out claims without delay thus he managed to sway public opinion subsequently the police used methods like wiretapping and surveillance to invest investigate Ru Kong's friends and relatives but still couldn't find any evidence theoretically with such a high salary Ru Kong shouldn't have been short of money moreover even a vicious tiger Wouldn't eat its Cubs his own son had died in one of these accidents due to lack of conclusive evidence the investigation had to be temporarily suspended Ru Kong finally received Insurance compensation though only $160,000 New Taiwan dollars about $5,600 us a modest sum compared to
previous payouts likely due to the suspicions surrounding this case by this point over 13 years Ru Kong had received a total of $20 million New Taiwan dollars about $700,000 us in Insurance payouts from the deaths of his family members although he had temporarily escaped legal consequences his wife Leen began to lose trust in him perhaps unable to come to terms with her son's death or possibly fearing for her own life she no longer dared to live with ruong consequently she initiated a divorce from then on the tragedies in the chin family seemed to cease ruong
never married again and naturally no one dared To do so it wasn't until 3 years later when chinel Ling's body was discovered on a cliff that he reappeared in the public eye as a suspect in fact although Ru Kong didn't remarry he was an idol he began dating finding girlfriends and using various excuses to take money from them on May 10th 20 2003 he happened to meet chin yuling upon discovering her good financial situation he pursued her fervently after years of dating various women he was very experienced in this Ying was quickly Charmed and agreed
to go hiking with him in juon this time with the aid of Technology the police gathered ample evidence not only did they have the phone number in chin Ying's palm and Road surveillance footage but they also thoroughly investigated her call history in the 3 days before her death the same phone number appeared multiple times in her call history police quickly traced this number to a public phone booth the Surveillance camera next to the booth clearly captured Ru Kong's face additionally police obtained surveillance video of him using Ying's bank card to withdraw money staff at the
checkpoint on the day of the incident also confirmed Ru Kong's identity with this concrete evidence the police could proceed with the arrest however the next problem they faced was that Ru Kong had disappeared his phones also Switched Off it wasn't until May 22nd 2003 that the Police finally intercepted a call from him this call was to his girlfriend shiao suou in the call he said he was injured and hospitalized asking her to come take care of him it turned out he was maintaining relationships with both suu and yuling the police quickly went to the hospital
to make the arrest they found him lying in a hospital bed his body covered in bruises appearing severely injured suu sitting beside him was startled and trembling when the Police suddenly burst in the police quickly noticed the Rolex watch on suu's wrist which belonged to Ying they also found Ying's phone wallet and two blank checks on Ru Kong during the subsequent interrogation Ru Kong remained very calm faced with overwhelming evidence he had to admit to killing Ying but claimed it wasn't premeditated murder he said they had an argument while driving and an accident occurred during
the dispute in the car the police confronted with such A psychologically strong and cunning man couldn't help but sigh understanding why he had easily evaded Justice before on the other hand the police investigation made a new breakthrough the deaths of Ru Kong's two wives and three sons had netted him nearly 20 million new Taiwan Dollar about $700,000 in Insurance payouts despite his high salary strangely his lifestyle wasn't wealthy he had no properties cars or investments in his name so where had All this money gone following this line of inquiry the police finally uncovered Chun Ru
Kong's true face the seemingly honest slow-witted man turned out to be a gambling addict needing large sums for gambling he had started borrowing from lone sharks unable to repay these highin loans the injuries on his body were actually inflicted by debt collectors from these illegal lenders this time Chen ruong finally stopped evading and confessed to the entire process of Killing Ying she had happily gone on a trip with him unaware where she wouldn't return on the way Ru Kong casually offered her some liver protection pills he claimed to take regularly unsuspecting Ying took two pills
and quickly fell asleep in reality these weren't liver protection pills at all but sleeping pills when ruong stopped the car at a cliff he first sexually assaulted Ying then robbed her of all personal belongings and finally pushed Her off the cliff he had planned for Ying to fall into a deep ravine leaving no Trace but unexpectedly her was interrupted by a rock ledge leading to her Discovery although he admitted to the murder the police weren't satisfied they knew Ying wasn't his first victim but no matter how they questioned him Ru Kong wouldn't admit to killing
for insurance money at this point the police realized that continuing to interrogate him this way wasn't effective they Needed to find a key point to break through Ru Kong's psychological defenses subsequently they conducted a more detailed investigation into every aspect of his life through their inquiries the police discovered that Ru Kong greatly valued ancestral worship Additionally the Ying case alone was enough to sentence him to death therefore they told him they could help arrange his ancestral worship and would protect his two daughters from media harassment this Finally LED Ru Kong to reveal all the horrific
secrets about killing his family according to his confession except for his second wife who truly died in an accident the others were all killed by him although he seemed very honest the police still doubted his statement they found the death of his second wife Wang shuing still very suspicious Wang shuing had crashed into a roadside guardrail on August 19th 1996 resulting in a fatal head injury Strangely the car had almost no visible collision damage she had an unexplained 2.4 in wound on the right side of her head moreover there were no break marks on the
road the case took a dramatic turn in June 2003 when the police found a key Witness a colleague surnamed Gua who had given Ru Kong a ride near the scene of Wang shuang's accident faced with this new evidence Ru Kong finally confessed the horrifying truth was revealed Wang Shuang's death wasn't a traffic accident but a premeditated murder Ru Kong had argued with her in the car then hit her head with a wooden stick before deliberately crashing the car into the guardrail to Stage an accident furthermore ruong confessed to the death of his first wife Zang
bisha although she had had initially been injured by a falling fan her actual death resulted from R Kong violently slamming her head against a wall during an argument before Her Hospital discharge panicked by his actions he staged the scene to look like an accidental fall from the hospital bed initially this unintentional killing tormented ruong however when he received a large insurance payout his mentality changed completely from that point ruong gradually descended into a life of crime becoming a remorseless killer who carefully planned subsequent murders to profit from insurance payouts whenever he accured large debts Ru
Kong would Think of the easy money from insurance claims finally he couldn't resist trying a second time at this point he wasn't yet deranged enough to harm his biological son so he chose to deliberately provoke his stepson during an argument he forcefully slammed the boy's head against a wall then staged it as an accident after receiving another large insurance payout Chan ruong completely fell into a cycle of evil even turning against his own son when His biological son chin jenong joined a gang and repeatedly ignored warnings Ru Kong fatally struck his head with a rock
he later beat Wong shuang to death with a stick and staged a car accident his second stepson Chen Jong Ching was also killed by him which was again staged as an external car accident injury when Yen leuin got out of the car to retrieve something he smashed Jong Ching's head against the sharp corner of a stick air railing by this time both the police and Insurance companies were becoming suspicious making Ru Kong realize he couldn't use this method anymore he then lay low for a period afterward he began dating middle-aged women scamming them for money
and favors until the Ying incident exposed him the ill-gotten gains from these women and his monthly salary were all lost to gambling most chillingly the police found a notebook among his possessions listing the birth dates and death dates of all his family Members during interrogation it was revealed that he used these as numbers for buying lottery tickets as the impact of these cases grew many people began voluntarily providing new leads to the police the authorities were shocked to realize that the number of people who died at chin rong's hands might far exceed six Wang shuang's
close friend hang cni had disappeared in June 1995 after receiving a phone call she had previously lent money to ruong after the Case was exposed her family began to suspect her disappearance was unusual another of Ru Kong's former colleagues Wang shumi who had been close to him also suddenly disappeared in 1998 not even returning home when her husband and eldest son died a woman from Chia e city was also suspected to have vanished due to her close relationship with Ru Kong however when faced with the disappearances of these women Ru Kong consistently denied any involvement
Before the trial Ru Kong repeatedly changed his testimony and even offered $4 million New Taiwan dollars about $140,000 to bribe the police however all these efforts were in vain in 2004 he was sentenced to five death penalties and one life imprisonment but in the final trial the judge considered that Ru Kong's confession to killing five family members qualified for sentence reduction so the five death sentences were commuted to 20 years in prison however The death sentence for killing Chun Ying remained unchanged on on April 19th 2013 Chen Ru Kong met his two daughters crying he
said dad was wrong I'm sorry but his daughters kept their heads down never looking at him amidst his sobs they turned and left without saying a word before his execution after eating his last meal Chen Ru Kong's body went limp as he was dragged to the execution ground with a single gunshot the life of this criminal with a human face but a BEAST's heart came to an end after his death no one wanted to claim his body even organ donation was rejected by all hospitals fearing contamination by his evil Deeds Story five the case takes
us to Gangnam District in Soul South Korea located south of the Han River this area is filled with skyscrapers luxury cars and high-end fashion boutiques it is a hub for the country's Elite and affluent residents the main character of our Story is a 9-year-old boy named Lee yungho a third grader at Chong Dam Elementary School in Soul he has an older brother and a younger brother making him the middle child after his parents divorce his younger brother lived with their biological mother while Lee hyungho lived with his father stepmother and older brother his father is
named Lee wuk and his stepmother is Troy yunji the family of four resided in a modern apartment in Chong damong Gangnam District Soul an area known as a symbol of wealth despite being a stepmother Choy yunji was very loving toward both both of her husband's children they were supposed to have a happy and carefree life however one winter evening an incident occurred that completely shattered their lives and became one of the three most mysterious cases in South Korea let's go back to January 29th 1991 to uncover the details of this event it was a Tuesday
and it Was already dark outside the window on this cold and quiet winter night 99-year-old Lee yungho had not yet returned home causing his parents great concern like many other boys Lee yungho was a mischievous child his world was always full of Wonders although he loved playing he wasn't thoughtless whenever he went out to play he would make sure to return home before dark but today was an exception his mother Choy Yuni called his classmates's house to inquire about His whereabouts according to his friend Kim that afternoon Lee yungho came over for a vegetable rice
bowl afterward the two boys went to the playground near the Hyundai apartment complex around 5:30 p.m. Kim decided to head home but Lee yungho wanted to play a bit longer so he told Kim to go ahead when asked why he wanted to stay Le hyungho replied that he was afraid of being scolded by his mother Kim then went home leaving Le hyungho alone at the playground hearing This a deep sense of unease filled Choy yunji by 8:00 p.m. Mr and Mrs Choy decided they could not wait any longer and split up to search for their
son they headed to the playground near the apartment complex calling out his name as they went after a while their throats became parched from shouting so much despite their best efforts they still could not find Lee hyungho Mr and Mrs Choy decided to contact the police once notified the Gangnam District police and Soul immediately dispatched officers to the house to investigate the media upon learning about the situation also arrived to conduct interviews the house became crowded with police officers reporters and neighbors the atmosphere was extremely tense Mrs Choy yunji could be heard sobbing occasionally while
Mr Lee wuk sat beside his wife his hands clenched tightly his face showing clear signs of worry and helplessness at 11:30 p.m. the phone suddenly rang Mr Lee wuk Quickly answered on the other end of the line a cold chilling voice spoke the boy is in my hands within 2 days prepare 70 million1 and install a phone in your car the kidnapper emphasized that Mr Lee must not inform the Poli police then abruptly hung up at that moment the entire house fell silent even the reporters seemed to sense the eeriness of the situation as a
dark ominous atmosphere took over one by one the journalists quietly left the house Leaving Mr and Mrs Lee weighed down with anxiety initially the police analyzed the case and concluded that the kidnappers seemed to have intimate knowledge of the family's circumstances they knew this family was wealthy and capable of paying 70 million one in cash at the time time 70 million1 was equivalent to about 270 million1 in 2024 or approximately $200,000 us a some not easily accessible to most families the demand to install a phone in the car was A peculiar detail that puzzled the
police leaving them uncertain about the kidnapper's next move after discussing with Mr Lee the police decided to temporarily comply with the kidnappers demands to ensure the hostages safety 2 days later on January 31st first the phone at the house rang again Mrs Choy yunji hurriedly answered on the other end a male voice claimed to be an officer from the soul District offering support to the Gangnam police in the Investigation and asked Mrs Choy to hand the phone to the officer nearby as Mrs Choy was about to give the phone to the officer next to her
she suddenly sensed something was off the officer quickly signaled with his eyes and gestures that the person on the phone was the kidnapper Mrs choy's heart raced and she broke out in a cold sweat however she quickly regained her composure and pretended to be confused saying what are you talking about there's no police Officer in my house before she could finish her sentence the kidnapper hung up likely having gotten the answer he wanted meanwhile Mr Lee was in his car when he received a call from the kidnapper the kidnapper instructed Mr Lee to bring the
ransom money and drive to area 2 of the parking lot at Gimpo International Airport upon arrival Mr Lee was to leave the money and car keys inside the vehicle then board bus number 600 to leave the airport the police had Already set up a secret operation with officers hidden nearby waiting for the kidnapper to show up however they waited in vain for 3 hours in the freezing cold but the kidnapper never appeared just as confusion set in the phone at Mrs Choy Uni's house rang again an angry voice came from the other end there was
someone else in the car besides Lee wuk and there was a gongnam district police officer hiding in the trunk it turned out that the police had secretly placed An officer inside Mr Lee's trunk planning to Ambush the kidnapper as soon as he got into the car so how did the kidnapper know there was a police officer in the car after analyzing the situation the police concluded that the kidnapper had no clear view of the inside of the car the trunk couldn't be seen from the outside and in a previous call the kidnapper had only mentioned
the back seat not the trunk therefore it seemed likely that he was engaging in Psychological warfare trying to probe and disrupt the police's plans shortly afterward the kidnapper used a pay phone near a bus station to call Mr Lee wuk again directing him to drive alone to Deon cinema theater Mr Lee followed the instructions and drove to the location there he received further instructions to turn on all the car's lights open all the doors and the trunk and then leave the area even though Mr Le complied with the Instructions the kidnapper still did not show
up it appeared to be another carefully orchestrated game of cat and mouse next the kidnapper instructed Mr Lee to drive to TIG yuang Cafe upon arrival Mr Lee received new directions to open all the car doors and then enter the cafe to get coffee however by this time TIG Yu dang Cafe was closed the kidnapper then told Mr Lee to go to a nearby fried chicken restaurant and wait as he sat in the aroma filed restaurant Mr Lee's anxiety only grew back home Mrs Choy yunji was also anxious waiting for a call from the kidnapper
suddenly the phone rang and the kidnapper's angry voice shouted in reality the kidnappers demands for Mr Lee to drive to multiple locations were a tactic to check if the police were following the police of course had countermeasures of their own switching vehicles and officers with each location changed to avoid detection as a result the police were not fully Convinced by the kidnappers claims however when Mrs Cho yunji answered the phone she was terrified she immediately broke into sobs apologizing profusely before regaining her composure my husband was too scared to go alone so he asked a
relative to accompany him upon hearing this the kidnapper seemed to calm down at this point the police believed the kidnapper would not show up however they unexpectedly spotted two suspicious looking men lurking near the Car with the ransom money it seemed like they intended to take the bag left on the back seat yet the two men hesitated for a long time before abruptly leaving with without taking any action throughout this ordeal the police refrained from making any moves against the suspicious individuals because they believed these were not the kidnappers acting rashly could ruin the entire
operation despite feeling full of anxiety and helplessness Mr and Mrs Lee Had no choice but to follow the police's instructions and quietly wait for the next opportunity that day the kidnapper made a total of 16 threatening phone calls each time the phone rang it broke their hearts by early morning the kidnapper called again demanding the couple bring 70 million one in cash to a new stand across from the saang Center for the Performing Arts on saong dero in jongyu District at 2:20 a.m. Mr and Mrs Lee arrived at the designated location With a suitcase filled
with counterfeit money Mrs Choy Yuni noticed a young man around 20 years old acting suspiciously near the new stand pacing back and forth while glancing occasionally at the spot where the money was placed as the police were debating whether to arrest him the young man seemed to realize something was off and suddenly fled the police once again missed an opportunity to capture the suspect a week after Lee H youngho's disappearance on February 5th The kidnapper contacted Mr Lee again instructing him to go to a bus stop to retrieve a pre-placed note while confirming the task
the kidnapper nonchalantly asked Mis and Mrs Lee if they had eaten which struck them as odd at the bus stop Mr Lee found the note inside a trash can it list listed two bank accounts with the names of the account holders one belonging to Kim joeun at a Commercial Bank and the other to Jun Jang Su at the bank of Korea the Kidnapper demanded that Mr Lee transfer 20 million one to each account after receiving the instructions Mr Lee discussed the situation with the police they ultimately decided to transfer money only to the commercial bank
account and immediately notified the bank to freeze it however at that time South Korea's banking system was still LAX making it easy to falsify information and open accounts this created significant challenges for the Police investigation as a result they were unable to trace any leads from the account holders the note was then sent for forensic examination but no suspicious fingerprints were found on it sometime later the kidnapper called again asking Mr Lee if the money had been transferred Mr Lee did not lie he honestly admitted that he had only transferred money to One account the
kidnapper didn't seem surprised by this answer and did not press further before Abruptly hanging up from that point on Mr and Mrs Lee lived in constant fear and anxiety a week later around 8:00 p.m. on February 13th the kidnapper suddenly called again he coldly announced a new location before Mr and Mrs Lee could react he provided further instructions to go under the Olympic Bridge you will find a metal box with a piece of paper weighed down by a stone after saying this the kidnapper's tone softened as he coaxed be good and there Will be a
gift for the child a car for the child this statement seemed to offer a glimmer of hope for Mr and Mrs Lee feeling that the kidnapper's attitude had softened Mrs Cho yunji pleaded with him to let her hear lee H youngho's voice she desperately wanted to confirm her son's safety but the kidnapper refused bluntly despite being filled with hope Mr Lee followed the instructions and went under an overpass on Olympic Boulevard where he found a Note the note read leave 50 million1 in cash on yab brid brid after leaving you will learn the boy's whereabouts
the group hurried to yonga bridge found the specified location placed the suitcase with the cash there and quickly left in reality the suitcase contained only a thin layer of about 100,000 one on top with the rest filled with newspaper the police discreetly monitored the area prepared to arrest the kidnapper as soon as he appeared this could be the Police's Last Chance in This tense moment everyone held their breath and waited but then an unexpected mishap occurred the police mistakenly communicated the wrong location over the radio causing the entire police force to arrive at the wrong
place at 10 p.m. that night a black car sped by The Ransom drop off point like a phantom in a split second the car door swung open and a gloved hand reached out snatching the suitcase with lightning speed the Vehicle didn't even noticeably slow down during the process the suddenness of the incident coupled with the police's blunder allowed the kid Napper to Escape right in front of everyone's eyes no one managed to catch a glimpse of the license plate after grabbing the suitcase the kidnapper called Mr and Mrs Lee again his voice was Dripping with
mockery there's a lot of fake money in here I guess you really don't want the boy back do you but I appreciate that You didn't call the police his words felt like salt in the wounded hearts of Mr and Mrs Lee Mrs Choy yunji frantically asked are you with Lee yungho the kidnapper chuckled sounding both relaxed and faintly tired 6 days later on February 19th a man in his 30s showed up at the sangdong branch of the Commercial Bank attempting to withdraw money from one of the accounts previously provided by the kidnapper while the bank
teller was processing the Transaction they unexpectedly discovered that the account had been frozen but the system did not display a specific reason feeling confused the teller asked the man if he knew why the account was frozen upon hearing this the man's expression changed he quickly snatched the bank card back from the teller's hand and fled the bank disappearing into the crowd this man was indeed the kidnapper whom the police had been desperately searching for unfortunately The bank had not yet installed surveillance cameras at that time making the bank teller the only person who had seen
the kidnapper's face according to the witness the man was about 5' 5 in tall with small narrow eyes thick eyelids thin and tight lips and a slightly long chin based on this description the police police created a composite sketch of the criminal the sketch was printed on Flyers with 280,000 copies distributed Nationwide Additionally the kidnapper voice was recorded and 1,000 cassette tapes were circulated across the country however despite all efforts the kidnapper vanished without a trace the Eerie laughter in his final call was all that remained for the police and Mr Lee's family public outrage
in South Korea grew over the police's negligence as they repeatedly lost track of the criminal the police blamed the bank while the bank pointed fingers at its Employees in 1993 South Korea implemented a financial identification system establishing a stronger foundation for Financial Security and crime prevention in this shocking kidnapping case the Criminal made more than 60 threatening phone calls to avoid being tracked by the police through phone signals each call was strictly limited to no more than 2 minutes additionally he left over 10 handwritten notes with uneven sloppy writing clearly Attempting to conceal his handwriting
style nevertheless the police persisted in analyzing the notes identifying certain writing habits and distinctive features of the criminal a month and a half after the kidnapping at 12:20 p.m. on March 13th a maintenance worker painting a guardrail near a drainage ditch along Olympic Boulevard close to the Jamel Olympic apartments in songpa District discovered something unusual initially he thought it was a doll from A distance but as he got closer he was horrified to realize it was the body of a young boy this tragic Discovery confirmed what everyone had feared most the child was Lee hyungho
the boy who had been missing for so long when found Le Hy youngho's eyes nose and mouth were sealed with plastic tape and his hands and feet were tightly bound with a scarf his body was stiff lying across the drainage ditch in an unusual position he was still wearing the same clothes from The day he went missing but his shoes had been replaced Ed with a newer pair of sneakers a pager borrowed from a classmate was found attached to his clothes showing a total of 1,200 and two steps the location where the body was discovered
was about a 10-minute drive from his home the autopsy results revealed three bruises on Lee Hy youngho's forehead believed to have been caused by the kidnapper in a moment of lost composure his stomach contained Remnants of rice green onions and other food he had eaten at a classmate's house on the day he was abducted the undigested food indicated that he was killed not long after being kidnapped the cause of death was determined to be Suffocation with the time of death estimated between 2: a.m. and 4:00 a.m. on January 30th there were signs on the body
indicating that it had been frozen this detail led to a troubling conclusion the drainage ditch was not The initial Crime Scene It is highly likely that the kidnapper never intended to keep Lee yungho alive after killing the boy he stored the body in a freezer before disposing of it later Lee H youngho's funeral was filled with an overwhelming sense of grief his parents relatives classmates teachers and even strangers who were moved by his story came to bid farewell to the unfortunate boy everyone shared a common hope to bring the perpetrator to Justice soon The case
of Lee hyungho garnered significant media attention news outlets continuously covered the incident and the entire nation of South Korea watched and prayed for the boy's safety now all efforts were focused on finding the culprit the police concluded that this was not a crime committed by a lone kidnapper this assessment was based on multiple factors during phone calls the kidnapper repeatedly used the word we unintentionally or intentionally Revealing the existence of a criminal group voice analysis from the calls suggested that there were one or two male participants further investigation showed that all Ransom calls were made
from different public phone booths across the city these locations were scattered without any specific pattern stretching from demon to jangu and Chong Dam dong while Mr Lee wuk drove around following the kidnappers instructions the phone call locations also constantly Changed meanwhile Mrs Choy Yuni frequently received calls from the criminal it became evident that the criminals were deliberately exploiting the separation of Mr and Mrs Lee to mislead them conceal their movements and prevent police intervention the dispersed operation method and constant change of locations indicate that this crime was meticulously planned and sophisticated the careful calculations and
coordinated efforts further Reinforced the police's conclusion that this was an organized crime the situation on yonga bridge was particularly telling as the kidnapper's vehicle drove past the drop off point it quickly snatched The Ransom without slowing down only the front passenger door opened and an arm swiftly reached out in a rapid precise motion it would have been nearly impossible for a single person to carry out such a Flawless operation based on other Clues the Police speculated that the criminal gang involved in the kidnapping likely consisted of three to four individuals with distinct roles one responsible
for communicating with Mr and Mrs Lee by phone one driving the getaway car to ensure a Quick Escape one either exiting the vehicle to act or monitoring the Lees from a distance and possibly a leader who had detailed knowledge of the Lee family and orchestrated the entire crime as for the kidnapper who made the Phone calls police analysis revealed that the first call was made from a phone booth located about 1.2 mi from Lee H youngho's apartment the kidnapper repeatedly directed Mr Lee's movements indicating familiarity with the area suggesting that he might have lived or
worked nearby however due to investigative errors in the early stages the police failed to screen individuals in the victim's neighborhood now they could only rely on The Voice Clues to Make deductions the fact that the kidnapper only made calls on weekdays also caught the police's attention it was plausible that he could be an ordinary worker however this Theory raised doubts as it would be difficult for a regular worker to dedicate so much time during working hours to commit these crimes the kidnapper's voice was deep and had a distinct soul and jangu accent frequently using vulgar
language possibly due to a long-standing work Environment police speculated that he had at least a high school education and was likely in his 30s additionally during the conversations the kidnapper occasionally appeared indecisive after making demands and receiving Mr Lee's responses in later stages his voice revealed clear signs of fatigue and impatience leading the police to believe that he might not have been the gang leader but rather someone following orders right after releasing the Composite sketch the police received numerous tips from the public some citizens reported seeing Lee hyungho with a young man in his 20s
near the location where the body was found a street vendor also claimed to have seen the two at Han River Park the young man accompanying Lee hyungho had similar appearance and voice characteristics to those described in the sketch the police quickly identified the suspect But ultimately determined that he was just An ordinary person with no connection to the case the police continued their investigation by looking into Mr Lee wo shik's work as an executive at a large company he had conflicts with competitors suggesting a potential motive of Revenge however the police found no concrete evidence
to support this Theory the police also considered a man named Kim who worked at Gimpo International Airport his job position and work Environment matched many aspects of the kidnapper profile for instance he had a flexible work schedule allowing him to manage time even on weekdays and his workplace Gimpo International Airport was one of the locations where the kidnapper had directed Mr Lee woik to go his handwriting showed similarities to that of the kidnapper more importantly the police discovered that the name of of this man's sister differed by only one letter from the bank account Holder's
name provided by the kidnapper however all this was insufficient to convict him as the police could not definitively link Mr Kim to the crime the investigation then shifted Focus to Lee sangji the maternal Uncle of Lee hyungho who became the primary suspect at that time Lee sangji was 29 years old a telecommunications graduate and financially struggling frequently borrowing money from Lee woik the father of yungho their relationship was known To be strained at the time child abductions were becoming increasingly frequent in South Korea prompting schools to intensify safety education for students if approached by a
stranger leango would likely have cried for help however he willingly went along without resisting suggesting that the perpetrator was likely someone familiar to him as the victim's Uncle Lee sangji naturally became a focus of the police investigation Kim the friend who was With Lee yungho on the day of the incident said that while the two children were playing at the apartment playground they noticed a young man smoking nearby with his back turned to them however they couldn't see his face clearly enough for identification the reason why Lee hyungho did not want to return home that
day was because he feared being scolded by his mother it was speculated that this fear stemmed from his stepmother Choy Yuni Disapproving of his interactions with his younger half-brother Lee sangho in the divorce between Lee hyo's parents Lee sangji always sided with his sister after the divorce the court ordered Lee Hy youngho's biological mother to pay Mr Lee woik 70 million1 in child support this decision enraged both Lee sangji and his sister coincidentally 7 million1 was also the exact amount demanded as Ransom by the kidnapper moreover during the investigation the police discovered That the names
of the two bank account holders provided by the kidnapper matched the names of two of Lee sangji's friends voice analysis also showed a 92% match between Lee sangji's voice and the kidnapper's voice in the recorded calls with so many coincidences the police immediately summoned Lee sangji for questioning however he provided an alibi claiming that he was traveling in jangji City Jang sang Baku Province on the day Of Lee Hy youngho's disappearance to support his claim he presented a highway toll receipt from that day the hotel owner in jangu also confirmed that Lee sang had stayed
there however there were people who questioned his Alibi suggesting that he only provided receipts for the day of The Disappearance and not for the other days nevertheless the police could not find any direct evidence to charge Lee sangi and he was eventually removed from the List of suspects throughout the investigation of this shocking case South Korean police mobilized over 10,000 Personnel compiled a list of 400 suspects conducted more than 700 handwriting analyses scre 28,000 potential suspects Nationwide and offered a 30 million1 reward for useful information yet the perpetrator remained unidentified in January 2006 15 years
after the case occurred the statute of limitations under South Korean law Expired and the investigation was officially closed marking the case as an unsolved mystery Mr Lee wuk Lee Yo's father lamented who is the statute of limitations really protecting the case also fueled public outrage in South Korea with many believing that such cases should not have a statute of limitations a petition signed by 50,000 people was submitted to the blue house urging the removal of the statute of limitations for serious crimes like Kidnapping and murder the incompetence of the South Korean police during this investigation
angered the public despite the forensic results indicating leftover food in the victim's stomach the police failed to link it to the lunch that Lee hyungho had eaten at at a friend's house on the day of his disappearance instead of focusing on this critical lead they wasted time searching restaurants across songpa and gangnam districts Mr Lee wuk was extremely dissatisfied with the Police's investigation methods his relationship with the police became very strained a detective involved in the case said I barely spoke to him although the case remains unsolved and the statute of limitations has expired the
South Korean public has never given up hope of discovering the truth in 2007 the movie voice of a murderer inspired by the case of Lee hyungho was released the film reignited a wave of public debate to make the film The Producers Obtained consent from Lee Hy youngho's biological parents however his stepmother Mrs Choy unji did not agree she claimed that the film defamed Her Image and reopened Old Wounds as a result Mrs Choy filed a lawsuit against the producers demanding that the film be taken down which somewhat affected the audience's perception of the movie at
the end of the film a recording of the kidnapper's actual voice was played sending chills down viewers spines on South Korean online forums the case of Lee hyungho remains a Hot Topic attracting ongoing interest and discussion some people believe that the perpetrator was someone close to Mrs Choy Yuni While others suggest that one of the criminals might have been an infiltrator within the police ranks there are even suspicions that Mr Lee wuk the victim's father was the master Mastermind behind the crime however all these theories are mere speculation by Netizens with no concrete evidence in
1991 the popular South Korean TV program I want to know featured a segment on the case of Lee hyungho 25 years later in May 2011 the program Revisited this heartbreaking case conducting investigations interviews and inviting experts for analysis in the program voice analysts used the kidnapper's voice to create a new composite sketch of him according to the police's sketch the Kidnapper had an oval face with a long chin however the experts suggested that he had developed muscles on both sides of his cheeks with a short distance from the mouth to the chin the kidnapper's pronunciation
was very precise similar to that of a news anchor based on this the expert argued that with the facial structure in the police sketch the kidnapper would not have been able to pronounce words so clearly therefore the expert made slight adjustments to the Sketch through voice and handwriting analysis the program concluded that only one man made all the ransom calls variations in the voice could have been due to external factors such as wearing a paper mask while speaking in 2015 Mr Lee wuk agreed to an interview with the Press after his son's death he went
through an extremely difficult period at times turning to alcohol to numb the pain his career also faced setbacks fortunately his health remained good in 2006 he founded a construction company named Yung Wu a combination of his name and his son's name reflecting on his son's personality Mr Lee smiled and reminisced he was such a good boy always Lively one time he got into a fight before coming home when I asked about it I found out it was because someone was bullying his older brother so he picked up a handful of coal and threw it at
the other boy his voice choked and tears weld up in his eyes even after more than 15 years Mr Lee has never stopped searching for the killer the media also reached out to interview Lee Hy youngho's biological mother at the time of the incident she worked closely with the police during the investigation after her son's funeral she turned to Buddhism praying daily for the Peace of his soul in October 2019 the media reported that the only remaining evidence in the case the kidnapper's voice was being analyzed by Experts using artificial intelligence technology the police also
sent the handwriting samples to the National forensic service for re-examination a police officer noted while identifying someone through voice analysis is less accurate than DNA testing we are doing everything we can to uncover the truth the TV program I want to know which had twice previously aired segments about the case once again played the kidnapper voice during the October 2019 broadcast Urging the police to reopen the investigation host Moon sunin delivered an emotional appeal on the program to the murderer who kidnapped and killed him y ho are you watching this show if you are I
