"I Believed the Police Who Said 'We Contacted Her'... Woman in Her 30s Missing for Three Months in Jeju"
Missing Case Falsely Closed by Police Report
Family Reveals Information on Jang Miran and Appeals for Public’s Help
Due to the initial police falsely closing the case, prompt action was not taken, and the victims’ families of missing cases unresolved for over three months are urgently searching for the missing person Jang Miran by making her physical description public.
According to Jang’s family and others on August 19, Jang went missing after leaving her home in Hallim-eup, Jeju City, from late in the evening of May 12 until the early morning of May 13. At the time of her disappearance, Jang had long straight hair, was estimated to be 158 cm tall, had a slender build, and was wearing a gold bracelet. She is characterized by her endearing way of speaking.
Previously, Jang’s family reported to the police in mid-May that Jang had not returned home. At the time, Sergeant A, who was on night duty, reportedly told his superior that “he had contacted the person in question” and closed the case as resolved.
However, last month, after Jang’s family again reported her missing to the police, stating that they still had no contact with her, the police reopened the investigation, considering both the possibility of her running away and of her disappearance. So far, there have been no confirmed signs of activity in Jang’s card usage, cellphone records, or hospital visits.
