"Not a Night Walking Trail... It's a Scary Path": Resident Who Visited the Scene Shares Post

[Anchor] First, following the case of Jang Mi-ran and a series of recent missing persons found dead in Jeju, local residents are feeling increasingly anxious, aren't they?

[Reporter] Yes, posts expressing anxiety over the consecutive missing persons cases have been appearing on online communities in the Jeju region recently.

In particular, anxiety has grown further as 37-year-old Jang Mi-ran, who went missing last May, was found dead 104 days later in a palm tree forest in Hallim-eup, Jeju City.

A resident living in Hallim-eup posted on an online community that they had personally visited the site where Jang was found, expressing regret by saying, "It is so dark without a single streetlight that it is not a place to take a walk at night," and "There are many CCTVs and vehicle dashcams around, so if there had been a proper response at the time of the initial report, she could have been found much sooner."


Posts expressing anxiety have also flooded Jeju-area parenting cafes and online communities, with comments such as "It's scary to go outside these days" and "It's incomprehensible that the missing person case was closed with false information."

Distrust toward the police response is also mounting, especially as it was revealed that the police officer who falsely closed Jang's case had also handled another missing person case as if they had made contact when they had not.
