Where Is the Missing 'Real Doll'? 'Unanswered Questions' Tracks the Secrets Murderer Jang Yoon-gi Tried to Hide

The cruel true face of murderer Jang Yoon-gi, who took the life of an innocent high school girl on her way home, and his mysterious motives for the crime are set to be unveiled.

In the upcoming episode of SBS 'Unanswered Questions' airing on the night of July 4, titled "Real Dolls and the Choking Game - What Did Murderer Jang Yoon-gi Hide?", the program will intensively track the true identity of Jang Yoon-gi, the suspect in the murder of a high school girl that occurred in Wolgye-dong, Gwangju, this past May, and the bizarre traces found in his residence.

The incident began just past midnight on May 5, near a six-lane road in Wolgye-dong, Gwangju. A male high school student, who ran to the scene after hearing desperate screams piercing the darkness, discovered a female student lying on the ground, bleeding. However, just as the male student was about to call for help, he was ambushed and seriously injured by an unidentified man who appeared from the darkness, leading to a secondary victim.

The victim was rushed to the emergency room but eventually passed away. The deceased, 17-year-old Lee Chae-won, had been stabbed 9 times in the neck and chest with a weapon while on her way home from studying.

The perpetrator, whose identity was disclosed after he fled the scene and was apprehended by police, was 23-year-old Jang Yoon-gi, who worked at a nearby restaurant. During the investigation, he claimed that he had impulsively murdered Chae-won, a complete stranger, while attempting to take his own life due to pessimism about his personal circumstances. He argued that he did not even know the victim was a female student and that the crime was not premeditated.

However, CCTV footage from before and after the crime and dashcam footage from a nearby truck, exclusively secured and revealed for the first time by the 'Unanswered Questions' production team, completely contradict his statement. In the footage, Jang Yoon-gi is seen persistently stalking Chae-won for 15 minutes before the crime. After committing the act in just 140 seconds (a little over 2 minutes), he engaged in a deceptive escape that was far from an attempt at suicide.

An even more shocking fact was discovered inside Jang Yoon-gi's studio apartment. According to a prosecution official, a 'real doll' (an adult female doll) was found during a search of his residence, with specific body parts cut out or severely damaged. However, a mysterious situation occurred where this real doll disappeared before the prosecution could officially seize it, despite it being clearly captured in police evidence footage. This raises questions about why Jang Yoon-gi cruelly damaged the real doll and the background behind the disappearance of the evidence during the police investigation.

Although it was revealed that Jang Yoon-gi had a prior record of stalking and sexually assaulting another woman just before this crime, he adamantly denies that this murder case had any sexual motive. However, it is reported that 'choking game' was among the search terms on his mobile phone after the crime. What was his true motive for murdering the victim, and what secret was he trying to hide?

The dashcam analysis that dismantles the suspect's lie about an impulsive murder, the whereabouts of the missing real doll, and the truth behind the ugly secrets Jang Yoon-gi tried to hide will be revealed on 'Unanswered Questions', airing on Saturday, July 4, at 11:10 PM.
