  "summary": "A 37-year-old Korean woman, Jang Mi Ran, was found dead after 104 days after going missing. The case was initially handled by a police officer named Bu, who falsely claimed to have contacted Jang and stated she was safe, as reported by Korean media. The officer also alleged that Jang had requested to be left alone. However, it was later discovered that no such contact ever occurred, and Bu's account was deemed unlawful. Following his release from custody, Jang's body was found near her residence. Notably, the same officer had previously lied about contacting and allegedly causing the death of a 60-year-old missing person as well.",
