“장씨, 실종 몇시간 내 사망 추정…종결 처리 남성 실종자 전화번호도 가짜”

A 37-year-old woman named Jang Miran was found to have been hiding after being reported missing, according to Korean police. Police stated that the death was likely due to a "traffic accident," a manipulated conclusion based on fraudulent reporting. However, the same officer was also traced on the phone of a 60-year-old male found during the latest search.

It was discovered that this officer had falsely reported the case as "found" and did not have any call records from that day. The police concluded that it was unlikely that the 60-year-old male had died from criminal activity, but they are still investigating all possibilities. The woman's mobile phone had been on continuously for days, and police are awaiting a response from the manufacturer for more information.

The missing 60-year-old male was found near Jang Miran's home after 104 days of disappearance. Near the search site of Jang Miran, a rope belonging to her was also found. Jang Miran has no history of dating violence or reports of going missing. The National Forensic Research Institute is conducting precision testing to determine if she was a victim of a sexual crime or drug use.

Police still consider it difficult to make a final conclusion, maintaining an open mind during the investigation.
