Mystery Traces Left on Ceiling… What Happened in Police Station Women's Restroom?

While Officer A, who was arrested on charges of falsely closing missing persons cases, has also been booked on sexual crime charges, police are investigating after unidentified fingerprints were found on the ceiling and other areas of the women's restroom at a police station that Officer A entered.

The Jeju Provincial Police Agency announced today (the 26th) that multiple traces, including unidentified fingerprints and palm prints, were discovered on the ceiling and the upper partitions of the toilet stalls in the women's restroom at the Jeju Seobu Police Station, which Officer A entered on July 22nd.

The locations where the fingerprints were found are spots that users rarely touch, unlike toilet paper dispensers or other areas touched by an unspecified number of people.

It is reported that the fingerprint patterns are not intact due to dust, as it would be difficult for fingerprints to be left there without intentional movement.

Officer A was caught by a female police officer belonging to the same station after entering the women's restroom at the Jeju Seobu Police Station on July 22nd, and was booked for violating the Act on Special Cases Concerning the Punishment, etc. of Sexual Crimes.

Officer A denied the charges, explaining, "I went in because I needed to use the restroom urgently," and "There was no toilet paper in the men's restroom."

Officer A was arrested after it was revealed that they had falsely closed the missing persons cases of Jang Mi-ran (37), who was later found dead, and a man in his 60s, following Officer A's suspension from duty over sexual crime allegations.
