70th-Year-Old Woman Missing After Leaving Home at Dawn... Last Traced on CCTV

Police and fire authorities in Namyangju, Gyeonggi Province, are searching the nearby Wangsukcheon Stream for a woman in her 70s who went missing after leaving her home at dawn, with the search now in its seventh day.

According to police and fire authorities today (July 22), 72-year-old woman A has not returned home since leaving her residence in Dasan-dong, Namyangju, at 2:30 AM on July 15.

Her family reported her missing at 9:00 AM on the same day after she failed to return home.

After tracing A's movements using closed-circuit television (CCTV) footage, police found that her trail ended near Topyeonggyo Bridge on Wangsukcheon Stream, close to her home.

Authorities are conducting the search with the possibility that A may have been swept away by rapid currents, taking into account that the current in Wangsukcheon Stream was strong at the time due to rain.

Although boats, drones, and rescue dogs have been mobilized to search the sections between Topyeonggyo Bridge and Suseokgyo Bridge, as well as between Gangdongdaegyo Bridge and Amsadaegyo Bridge for seven days since the missing person report was filed, she has not been found yet.
