My 8-year-old daughter, who went to school in the morning, went missing.

For 30 years, the police said it was'missing'.

Father waited for his daughter for 30 years without changing his home phone number.

In fact, I mean the'killed daughter'.

The police knew.

The body and relics were found, but they were hidden and covered.

It was also silenced by more than 10 policemen and fabricated the evidence.

After 30 years, it was none other than the'killer' who revealed the truth.


The daughter who went to school disappeared.

In July 1987, Kim Hyun-jung, a second grader at the time, went to school as usual.

Even after lunch, he didn't come back, so his father went out looking for his daughter.

But my daughter was nowhere to be found.

I reported it to the police, but the news of Ms. Hyun Jung was not heard anywhere.

Five months have passed.


I found my daughter.

But…

About five months later, the police report that a rope skipping rope and bones for elementary school students were found in the local hillside.

The chief detective comes to the scene to check the rope and bones.

On the spot, oil items such as underwear that appear to be of Hyun Jeong-yang are also found.



The testimony of the police in the investigation records at the time obtained by the SBS'Panda to the End' team is shocking.





The truth covered by the police and told by the killer

The killer who murdered Hyun-jung was the serial killer Lee Chun-jae.

The Mars serial murder case was revealed in the winter of 2019 when Lee Chun-jae, who was imprisoned for another crime, opened his mouth.

Yoon Seong-yeo, who was a criminal in the so-called'Mars 8th incident' and was unfairly imprisoned, was recently convicted of innocence through a retrial.


The truth was also revealed through Lee Chun-jae's mouth.


If Lee Chun-jae hadn't spoken, the case of Hyeon-jeong, which the police concealed for 30 years, would still have been a disappearance.


30 years waiting for my daughter

The father raised the possibility that the disappearance of his daughter was a violent case, and asked to change the direction of the investigation, but was not accepted.

Father couldn't give up hope that his daughter might be alive and would contact him.

So, I couldn't move and change my phone number for 30 years on the spot.




The police said they covered it in case it would be noisy

Why has the police been hiding the truth for 30 years?

The reason was'It might be noisy'.



"It was a taboo atmosphere."

(Police Officer A)


"I couldn't dare talk because it was a horse stone. I thought I had to shut up."

(Police Officer B)


"I'm afraid I'll be noisy again with serial killings...."

(Police C)



At the time, the situation was revealed that about 10 investigation teams were aware of the discovery and concealment of the body, but only two people, including the chief detective Lee Mo, and the policeman who died in 2009, were arrested.

The comments submitted together are more absurd.

'It is presumed that they tried to resume the investigation later, freeing from the temporary burden of work, rather than trying to permanently conceal the fact of the murder.'



The reopening investigation did not start again for 30 years, and resumed with the confession of the killer.


There is the perpetrator, but there is no punishment.

When the truth was revealed, the chief of police apologized and promised to do everything for the bereaved.


The bereaved families demanded punishment for the police who hid the body even though they knew the body was found 30 years ago, and filed a lawsuit for damages against the state.

The answer that came back...

Even if it was said that there was a concealment of the body of the police in 1989, it means that the government is not responsible for compensation because five years have passed since then.





It is difficult for the truth to be revealed in a crime using public power, and even if the truth is revealed, after a long period of time, it is blocked by the wall called the statute of statutes. There are criticisms that the statute of limitations is contrary to social justice and is being abused as an indulgence to state violence. Is there really no place for victims of national violence?
