Missing Woman in Her 30s Found Dead Inside Container a Day Later

A woman in her 30s, whom police had been tracking following a missing person report from her family, has been found dead alongside a man in his 40s inside a container in Anseong, Gyeonggi Province.

Police are investigating the case on the presumption that the two individuals, who had been reported missing from different regions, met online and attempted to take their own lives together.

The Anseong Police Station in Gyeonggi Province announced that at around 9:00 p.m. yesterday (September 3), they discovered Ms. A, in her 30s, and Mr. B, in their 40s, inside a container in an empty lot in Bogeam-myeon, Anseong.

At the time of the discovery, Ms. A was already dead.

Mr. B was transferred to a hospital intensive care unit for treatment, and his life is reportedly not in danger.

Police suspect that the two recently met through an online community and attempted to make an extreme choice.

Earlier, Ms. A's family filed a missing person report with the police at around 2:19 p.m. on September 2 after losing contact with her since the night of August 31.

The police station with jurisdiction over Ms. A's residence tracked her mobile phone location and confirmed that she had traveled to Anseong.

They subsequently requested cooperation from the Anseong Police Station at around 2:39 p.m. on the same day.

The police deployed around 50 personnel, focusing on a 1.5-kilometer radius around the cell tower location.

After searching for over a full day utilizing rescue dogs and drones, they located the two individuals.

Upon verification, it was revealed that Mr. B had also been reported missing from another region at around 11:17 a.m. on August 31.

A police official stated, "It appears that the two individuals, who got to know each other through the internet, attempted to take their own lives in the Anseong area, where they have no personal ties."

Police plan to conduct an autopsy on the body of the deceased Ms. A to determine the exact cause of death.

They also intend to investigate the specific circumstances once Mr. B recovers.
