A woman‘s body floated in a reservoir. The real culprit of the incident that almost sank to the bottom of the reservoir forever has been revealed.

On the 21st (Friday) at 9:50 PM, the ’Brave Detectives 4 (directed by Lee Ji-sun)‘ broadcast on Tcast E Channel dealt with the Goryeong Motgol Reservoir murder case. Inspector Kim Kyung-joon of the Goryeong Police Station’s Intelligent Crime Investigation Team, who were directly in charge of the case, and Inspector Park Jae-hong of the Ulleung Police Station‘s Detective Team appeared and acted with guest Chungha.

One day, a naked female body wrapped in a red quilt and a 9.2 kg rock were found in a bag found on the shore of the reservoir. Her face was covered with women’s underwear, and she was in a crouching position with a scarf pulled down to her hands, knees, and neck.

Fortunately, the body was not in a severe state of decomposition, so she was able to be identified through fingerprints. The victim was a woman in her 40s living in Daegu, and surprisingly, she had not even been reported missing. The cause of death was revealed to be asphyxiation due to neck compression.

The victim had cut off all contact with her family. The last time she visited was two years ago with her remarried husband, and she had not been heard from since. The house where the victim lived was already occupied by another tenant. About five months ago, the couple had moved out all their belongings without a word and disappeared without a trace.

The missing couple, the hastily cleaned house, and the victim‘s cell phone that was turned off. Who could the evidence suggest to be the culprit? The investigation team set out to find the husband to solve all these questions, but they could not even find out his name.

In the meantime, they checked the phone registered under the victim’s name, and found two phone numbers. Based on the high volume of calls between the two phone numbers, it was assumed that they were the victim‘s phone and the husband’s phone, respectively. He had been using two cell phones under his wife‘s name.

At that time, the results of tracking the car registered under his wife’s name came out, and traces of a speeding ticket from around the time she moved were found. The person who paid the fine was the husband the investigation team was looking for.

In January, the husband had already handed over the car registered under his wife to a used car dealer, saying, “My wife is missing.” In December, when the couple was out of the house, he called a recycling center and instructed them, “Take everything, even the two sets of spoons.”

The husband had a criminal record with several violent crimes, including assault, robbery, and aggravated robbery. Immediately after murdering his wife, the husband found a new woman and began living another life as a parasite.

Recently, the investigation team searched the houses of the construction workers where the husband had worked based on their testimonies and eventually succeeded in arresting the culprit. The criminal made excuses, saying, “I think I killed her, but I don‘t remember how I killed her,” and revealed his motive for the crime, saying, “My wife ignored me because I’m usually incompetent.”

Despite his brutal methods of committing the crime, the criminal was sentenced to 12 years in prison for drunk driving and mental weakness, causing shock.
